Welcome, and thank you for correcting spelling on the Elephant page on Wikipedia! However, both spellings of the word you "corrected" are acceptable.
Please familiarize yourself with American and British English spelling differences before making further spelling corrections to articles. Wikipedia has 47,828,427 registered users on this English Wikipedia. These editors use different versions of English including American English and British English. The list of dialects of the English language goes on and on.
When many styles are acceptable, avoid changing from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. It is acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling only if the article concerns a British topic or vice versa or if you are making the article internally consistent.
More information is available at Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Enjoy your time on the encyclopedia. Thank you. Jesse Viviano 21:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
