-== Cultural Spelling Prejudices ==
-This wiki does not favour/favor one culture's spelling over another. So please stop doing so.  Game terms are ''arguably'' American-centered, but I'm not sure that the term "labour/labor" is found anywhere in the game itself. The policy is to allow "first come, first served" on any given article,  and not pretend that one spelling is "right" where the other is wrong, nor that one serves a larger majority of Users better, and so certainly not to slavishly edit every reference according to the article title.  Appreciate the effort, but you can stop now, thanks.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:54, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
-:Actually, the game does use the term "labor" rather than "labour", at least according to the [[string dump]]... --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 03:11, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
-::Okay, thanks, wasn't sure about that, but even then, referring to that string dump is different than talking about a "labouring dwarf".  Users need to accept that "flavour/flavor", "colorful/colourful" and "favorite/favourite" are cultural prejudices, nothing more, and one is not "right" or "wrong", nor can it be.  This is not an American site, not a British site - the site's international - it's called the World-Wide-Web for a reason.  Consistency within an article regarding that article's name is fine, but not a personal pogram against one spelling or the other.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
