NOT a requested move, but a request to switch from American to Oxford spelling
[edit]Since this page has so much discussion and conflict over English dialects and spelling variations, why not switch to Oxford spelling? It seems like a reasonable compromise for this very international page, and is used in science and by international organizations. Right now, the page seems to use predominantly American English but with title. What do you think? 1101 (talk) 05:19, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
