Halopedia:Standards Council of Halopedia/Legislative Branch/Standards/Language Standard

Proposal
While it is agreed that Halopedia will use English for writing all articles, issues still arise regarding which dialect should be used. To mitigate any problems and minimize the debates regarding the superior form of English, the Language Standard exists to both decide and justify the dialect used.

As Halo was initially developed in America, both her creator (Bungie) and trademark holder (Microsoft) are based in America and that the vast majority of the material we use as source material is American, Halopedia shall utilize Americanized English for the sakes of remaining in-line with the source material.

What more needs to be said? Let's vote. --Notanoob 01:50, 9 October 2008 (EST)

Ha ha, us Canadians get to choose if we want to use American or English English in everyday speech and writing. But I agree that American English should be used on Halopedia. -- Kouger masters TalkContribsStuffYoutube 05:55, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, if this is passed, should users go on an English-correcting spree on already existing articles? -- Kouger masters TalkContribsStuffYoutube 06:22, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think a witch hunt for English English should begin, but if you happen to see it while reading an article, this will give you a reason for making an edit. XRoadToDawnX 05:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
