Why are non-American variations of spellings like "centres" and "behaviour" used in articles?

[edit]

Wikipedia is an American website, so why are non-American variations of spellings like "centres" and "behaviour" used in articles?

Here is the address of Wikipedia to prove that the headquarters of Wikipedia are in the USA:

Wikimedia Foundation, 1 Montgomery St., Suite 1600, San Francisco, CA 94104 U.S.A.

In my opinion, the American version of spellings should be used in all articles unless the article is referencing a completely non-American topic.

Thank you.
