Forum:Why UK English?

If the founder of Narutopedia chose to take the US spelling from "encyclopedia", then by whom and when was it decided that everything in-wiki was gonna be written in English English? I for one don't get the rationale. All official translations, and most unofficial translations of Naruto are done in North America. Take Sasuke's Paw Encyclopaedia for instance. Are we not unnecessarily giving it a different name than the one Viz gave it?--Karunyan (talk) 17:10, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * The site did begin in US spelling, way before I joined. Later on, when the site had much more content, there was a split, and both spellings were used, even through the same article. Long story short, active members at the time discussed it, in the interest of picking one spelling to be used consistently through the entire site, and ending the revert wars that happened over which spelling to use. People arguing for UK spelling prevailed. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:43, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * The translations don't really have anything to do with the wikia as I've mentioned before, they don't influence our actions. The community simply decided to use English UK in the documentation of the information based off the arguments which were presented.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 17:51, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * British English is more classy anyway.--Elveonora (talk) 17:57, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
