I would like to thank everyone who helped me offline with this page, what I consider my greatest work to date. Happy Easter! ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
As a concession to the Yank who made this page, deference to American English is my preference. Noticed a lot had been changed to bring it to British English, but frankly many of the sources I used were in American English. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:33, 5 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Afterwriting: Using British spellings might seem relevant, but considering the truly global application of this text, it's production before Modern British English, and the pluralit of sources in this article coming from the United States, I tend towards American English. Prefer discussion here (as was already started) to reversions. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:53, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
It is a primarily British subject, therefore British English is expected regardless of your preferences or tendencies. There is already a British English tag in the article which you and all other editors should respect and follow. Afterwriting (talk) 15:02, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
The tag was added by an editor who made British English edits that ignored actual spellings when implementing their edits. This is a general topic, either variant is acceptable. If an article is already in one variant of English and the topic is general, just ditch/replace the tag instead of revising the whole article piecemeal; you could easily miss something. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:35, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
The editor who added the tag did the appropriate and correct thing. It is not a "general topic" (whatever that means), it is historically and predominantly a British topic and, therefore, British English is clearly the correct variant (as expected by the MOS, not any editor's personal preference) and needs to be used consistently throughout the article. If I started an article on an historical and predominantly American subject and wrote it in British English then it would be entirely appropriate for other editors to revise the article, piecemeal or otherwise, into American English.
