I'll preface this by stating that I not sure which way I'm supposed to spell defense/defence as an American, so personally I really don't care. That said, it was decided a while ago at WP:HOCKEY that variant spellings should be determined by the article's context and ties as stated in Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English (If someone know where to find that discussion, please bring it up). An American hockey team should contain en-US spelling, an American ice hockey player should contain en-US. Our anonymous friend is right, lack of civility not withstanding. ccwaters17:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Fully agree and accept that. I was just pointing out to him that he uses that arguement to change spelling when it suits him. He used the opposite arguement to have it changed on another article to American when it was a Canadian player. I am more than happy to have it in American spelling since its an American player, just trying to point out he can't have it both ways. He keeps insisting that every player that has ever played for the Flyers have American spelling. --Djsasso17:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I think the first criteria for players is their own nationality. Then I think for European players, it goes to the team location?? Not sure about that though. ccwaters17:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
