* '''Support option A - use z''' - support [[Oxford spelling]], minimize conflict, maximize convenience, optimize categorization. Moreover this will harmonize local usage with {{cl|Organizations based in Indonesia}}. [[User:Oculi|Oculi]] ([[User talk:Oculi|talk]]) 08:51, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
* '''Support option A - use z''' English is not a native language here, so local usage does not apply.[[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 09:15, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
*'''Support option B'''. Fewer changes to make and per the original [[:Category:Organisations based in East Timor]]. Not an English-speaking country, so we should go with the commonest usage thus far. Commonwealth countries (including Australia, with which East Timor has close links) mostly favour the 's' spelling; US-influenced countries favour the 'z' spelling. Contrary to some claims, the 's' spelling has long been the norm in Britain and other countries; even Oxford University now prefers it, despite the OED's continued insistence on the 'z' version. The 'z' form is acceptable, of course, but they are certainly not on an equal footing. Claims that the 'z' form is more widely accepted are Americanocentric. -- [[User:Necrothesp|Necrothesp]] ([[User talk:Necrothesp|talk]]) 14:15, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
