Despite the fact I am a Brit, I support matching the enwiki (American) title myself. Community thoughts? An editor did the move but it was contested. --IWI (talk) 12:40, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    The page was originally written in British English, but was changed without discussion to American English. We do not change the original spelling unless there is a reason: this is what we have agreed. It makes sense, and is consistent. I have changed it back. The page title needs to reflect its content: it is not that the page title controls the content, but the other way around.
There is a long history on En wiki about this, and they have a similar ruling about spelling changes in articles. Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:52, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I can see where you're coming from there, I just always felt that simple leaned towards American English. Regards, --IWI (talk) 21:20, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
