English language varieties

Regarding your edit to Prussia, please note that different versions of English -- American English, British English, Canadian English etc. -- are used on English Wikipedia, and once an article's style has been established, spelling should not be changed from that used in one version to that used in another, as you did by changing "industrialisation" (British English) to "industrialization" (American English). Many times, articles will have a note at the top saying "Use X English". Prussia does not have that (although I will add it), but it does have a note saying "Use dmy dates", that is, the British and European date style of day first, then month, then year, as in 4 July 2020 -- as opposed to the American style of "myd", i.e. July 4, 2020. That note is an indication that British English is used in the article.

The Wikipedia policy on English variations can be found at WP:ENGVAR, which you should read. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:04, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

If you have doubts about which version of English an article uses, you can search for words such as "color" (American) / "colour" (British) or "honor" (Am.) / "honour" (Br.) which will tell you which is used. Similarly humor vs humour, labor vs. labour, neighbor vs. neighbour. See our article American and British English spelling differences, also this for more information.
