*'''American English spellings are preferred''' but Commonwealth spellings, for ''de novo'' or otherwise well-maintained articles are completely acceptable, and edit wars over the subject are strongly discouraged. The context of the article should help resolve conflict; an article about Britain ''could use'' Commonwealth spelling, while an article about the United States or any other, non-Commonwealth specific articles would use American English.

==== Diacritics ====
''See also:'' [[Diacritics]]
A [[diacritic]] is a mark near or through a character that changes its phonetic value or significance. For example, diacritics appear above the letter "e" in the word "résumé," distinguishing the noun from the verb "resume." Diacritics are more common in various European languages than they are in English.
The spelling of diacritics should follow that given in an American reference work. Several are available online: [http://www.merriam-webster.com/ Merriam-Webster], ''[http://websters.yourdictionary.com/ Webster's New World College Dictionary]'', ''[http://ahdictionary.com/ American Heritage]'', ''[http://dictionary.reference.com/ Random House]'', ''[http://www.britannica.com/ Encyclopedia Britannica]'' and ''[http://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/ Columbia Encyclopedia]''.
