"Typo" in template

edit

At least in Metrication "for color-blind users.The". There should be a space after the period and before the "The" (the reason). Not a big deal and I would have fied myslef but fear screwing up.. comp.arch (talk) 20:45, 12 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

A new logo for the template

edit
 
A proposed paint bucket

How do you Wikipedians think of my paint bucket? I am thinking of using the relevant-to-the-template's-subject, more appropriate logo other than the more general logo, but, firstly, I need some opinions. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 03:35, 16 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

USA English

edit

A bit tangential but i expect you have looked into this. What language is en.wikseems to be the other way around, ipedia supposed to be in?

As far as i know for formal English globally UK spellings are the standard pretty much everywhere except the USA. e.g India and Pakistan both have English as co-official language and it seems to be closer to UK English? Second language learners outside the USA sometimes learn USA English, but the English taught as a second language in continental Europe is UK English.

So it seems like an international English closer to UK English should be the default, except for articles relating to the USA? but it seems to be the other way around, most articles seem to be full of USA spellings etc. except for articles about something regionally specific outside the USA. ()
