British English vs. American English?

[edit]

Which spelling pattern is primarily used in Trinidad and Tobago? One of the most recent edits was just changing spelling from American to British. According to WP:ENGVAR, the article (since it deals with a location) should be written in the style most suited to the location. --Kierkkadon talk/contribs 16:06, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The anonymous editor making this change seems to be using multiple IP addresses to make these changes (see, for example, 82.153.103.23). As such, I have reverted their changes, pending discussion.
From Trinidadian English: "Trinidadian English was originally based on a standard of British English. Located in the Americas, TE now uses many Americanisms, including apartment and trunk (of a car)."
While I am blocking unexplained pointy changes, I will accept whatever consensus is reached here. (See also: Talk:Type 79 mini rocket launcher.) - SummerPhD (talk) 16:40, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just curious, why did you mark the edits as good faith in the edit summaries, but then gave a Last Warning for vandalism on that IP's talk page? --Kierkkadon talk/contribs 17:19, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The revert I made "hung" for a bit. In that interval, I saw the confirm for my earlier revert[1] and checked the two IPs who had edited Laurel forest (both using the same ISP). That was enough for me. This guy's been through before. - SummerPhD (talk) 17:55, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, okay. --Kierkkadon talk/contribs 18:32, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
