I stopped by the [[Data_visualization]] article and I will be excited to see how you grow it.  I noticed that the article was started using American English (AE) in its metadata--and in the spelling of the article name itself--but you seem to be using the British spelling, which is fine.  Would you be okay, then, if I move [[Data_visualization]] to [[Data_visualisation]] and change the metadata to show it using British English instead?  Just drop a note on my Discussion/Talk page so I'll know if that's okay.  I also added some links to the article; but tell me if you'd rather I hold off on those kinds of edits for now.[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] ([[User talk:Pat Palmer|talk]]) 02:20, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello! and question about AE vs BE in metadata

Andrew, First of all, welcome to Citizendium!

I stopped by the Data_visualization article and I will be excited to see how you grow it. I noticed that the article was started using American English (AE) in its metadata--and in the spelling of the article name itself--but you seem to be using the British spelling, which is fine. Would you be okay, then, if I move Data_visualization to Data_visualisation and change the metadata to show it using British English instead? Just drop a note on my Discussion/Talk page so I'll know if that's okay. I also added some links to the article; but tell me if you'd rather I hold off on those kinds of edits for now.Pat Palmer (talk) 02:20, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
