== British / Irish / Commonwealth spelling ==
Hello,
Is there a particular reason why you changed all of the spellings in the IRA article to American? The Manual of Style says ''American English spellings are preferred but Commonwealth spellings, for de novo or otherwise well-maintained articles are welcome, and edit wars over the subject are seriously discouraged. The context of the article should help resolve edit wars; an article about Britain would use Commonwealth spelling, while an article about the United States would use American English.''
This article was originally written using non-US spelling, as one would expect given the subject. I see no reason to change it, so I changed them all back. Please only change from non-US to US spelling where the subject matter is clearly American.
Thanks,
