Thread:User talk:CodeCat/-ise/reply (6)

Our current practice is to avoid changes based on the regional differences: if someone creates an entry with -ize, we leave it as -ize. If someone creates an entry with -ise, it's left as -ise. We've debated various other ways of doing things, but the only ones that have achieved much of a consensus have failed for practical reasons. No one is particularly thrilled with the status quo, but everyone wants to avoid the kind of endless pondian edit wars likely to result from adopting something without a broad consensus. As an aside, SemperBlotto and CodeCat are both from Europe and use the -ise spelling, so there's no regional bias involved here. Chuck Entz (talk) 15:19, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
