I reverted your edits there. It is Wikipedia policy to use one standard of language in an article. U of T is Canadian, so it is proper to use Canadian English. Ardenn 23:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Read the actual article (Canadian English) cited above -- it specifically cites "centre", not "center" as the correct Canadian spelling for this word. Another online source confirms this. Finally, the University of Toronto uses this spelling for its own institutions such as the Trudeau Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. Even Yanks know how to spell centre in Canadian English!
