However, as Pensapedia is an encyclopedic project centered around an American city, where [[Wikipedia:American English|American English]] is the prevalent dialect, American spellings are most commonly used. Regardless of which conventions or variants editors choose to use, they should make every effort to be consistent within articles, and should not alter acceptable spellings within articles except for the purpose of consistency.</ins></div></td></tr>
