American English

Please do not change American English to Indian English, as an IP user did. Per MOS:RETAIN, an article uses the variety of English used when it was first created, in this case American English. The policy states that it must not be changed unless there is a pressing need, which is not here. Mind you, one time a Pakistani author's (Born after 1960) article was written using Indian English (I forgot the name of the article). So unless there is a need bigger than the above given reason, do not change. Regards 2.51.20.209 (talk) 13:04, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No - MOS:TIES, a main section of WP:ENGVAR, clearly states:-

"An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the (formal, not colloquial) English of that nation."

MOS:RETAIN specifically lists "strong national ties" as a reason why the existing variety of English should NOT be retained:-

"With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or a term/spelling carries less ambiguity), there is no valid reason for such a change."

I have, therefore, reverted to the correct WP:ENGVAR - Indian English - Arjayay (talk) 16:21, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
