I think there is a small mistake in the May 1945 map, that of the white, pink and red zones. To my knowledge, the areas in red should be the territories won by the Allies between 16 April and 1 May 1945 and not disputed territories DevilandDaughter (talk) 16:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

shouldn't the proper language reflect the proper grammar? If the person is reading it in English, in America, shouldn't the article reflect that translation? As an American we can be thrown off by English spellings and vice versa,so shouldn't each page translation reflect the correct spelling? Even if that is two variations of one language, as they are not the same? Jmurphy042000 (talk) 04:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The default for international organisations is British English. For example, Americans working for NATO have to use British English. Doesn’t cause these organisations any problems 86.3.134.204 (talk) 06:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, however, that wasn't what I stated. I stated that the correct grammar should be reflected in the language they are viewing. As an American, who knows many Americans not framiliar with British English, it does cause problems. You're speaking of a world wide organization. That's like saying all scientists understand latin. Why? To stop the confusion you mentioned. However this is a different circumstance, is it not? If I am in American, reading American English I would expect to see that vocabulary used. Tyres in the UK is Tires in America. There are differences. Another example would be the slang term "boot". It is 2 vastly different things in America versus the UK.

Also, Wikipedia is technically an American organization, not an international organization. Just because it is on the Web doesn't mean it is "international". It is technically an American non-profit. Which would mean the default language is... American English. Jmurphy042000 (talk) 00:47, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
