{{Update|type=section}}
Most of the articles listed on Open Tasks are neglected because of their subject matter.  The articles below are ''internally biased''. In other words, they currently deal only with matters in certain countries, and/or often have a U.S. or developed country perspective rather than a global one.  Once they have been edited to remove the geographic bias, please place them in the Satisfactory section.  The list is split up by groups of letters of the alphabet for ease of navigation and editing.

===A–E===
* [[Academic dishonesty]] All but one of the modern examples and studies are American (the one non-American example is for other countries, with an emphasis on Japan, which is only one sentence long). [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] ([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]) 22:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
* [[Adoption]] Lacks perspective of countries that are the sources of international adoption.
:* [[Interracial adoption]] is solely from a U.S. perspective, is from a white adoptive family perspective, and lacks information on international adoptions (which can in some cases also be considered interracial).
* [[Alcohol abuse among college students]] is primarily US-centric (and has one image from 19th century Germany) <span style="font-family: Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 01:13, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
* [[Alcohol advertising]] Most examples are from the United States, Europe, or Australia.  [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] ([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]) 23:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
:* [[Alcohol advertising on college campuses]] is an [[WP:ASSIGN|academic assignment article]] that only has American context. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 03:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
* [[Anti-siphoning law]] Do non-English-speaking countries (as well as Canada) force the broadcast of major sporting events on terrestrial television? <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 03:25, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
* [[Battle axe]] Lacks examples from Sub-Saharan Africa, even given that the Kongo and the Zulus (Zulu battle axes are called "imbazo") were among the best known Sub-Saharan African peoples to use them for example. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 02:15, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
* [[Battlement]] As if the concept is only relevant in medieval western European architecture. Lacks a global point of view, although it mentions the [[Great Wall of China]] (at the very least, Islamic architecture should be added). See also its [[Talk:Crenellation|talk]].
* [[Beekeeping]] Has been a subsistence method from time immemorial for some societies. Article makes it almost look like a Western hobbyist practice.
* [[Bimetallism]] Deals almost exclusively with bimetallism in U.S. history; could use information on Islamic bimetallism and any other non-US historical/modern examples that may exist. Another editor removed {globalize/USA} tag when I added it to the article (twice) but raises no objection to having the tag on the talk page. --[[User:Eloil|Eloil]] 22:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

* [[Bomb disposal]] This article is heavily Anglo-centric.  Other definitions of domain terminology is also American.  [[User:Erikssond|Drdan]] 18:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC) - It was invented by the British, and refined to where it is today by the Americans. There hasn't been significant additions by other countries because most of the second and third world countries today send their Technicians to UK or US schools for training. It's not a topic many can speak about with authority. What about a topic that has systemic bias because it is monosystemic in nature? [[User:High_Order1|Shawn]] 11:42 15 April 2006 (EDT)
* [[Breakfast]] <s>Scant references to non-western practices.</s> Much added on Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. <s>Still lacking anything on Africa.</s> 6 African examples as of May 2011
* [[Cannabis rescheduling]] is unashamedly about various bits of legislation in the United States, and has nothing to say on Cannabis legislation anywhere else. [[User:Garzo|Gareth Hughes]] 18:21, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
* [[Channel drift]] It seems that only American television channels are affected from this phenomenon. <big><span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span></big> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 00:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
* [[Civilian control of the military]] I'm in the process of expanding this article but will be the first one to admit that my examples and structure draws heavily on the American philosophy and practice (this could be my limited perspective showing, but I think the term is probably used most frequently in this context as it is). I've attempted to add some mentions of Maoist theories and the Soviet commissars, but would really appreciate any input from editors who can contribute more material on theories of civilian control in other countries. '''— [[User:MC MasterChef|MC MasterChef]]''' '''<nowiki>::</nowiki>''' Leave a '''[[User_talk:MC MasterChef|tip]] —''' 09:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
* [[Columbus Day]] - <s>suggests that Columbus Day has only ever been celebrated in the United States,</s> and that opposition to the concept is limited to the United States - Now mentions similar holidays in several other countries, especially in [[Latin America]], but none in Canada, although very few people in the latter celebrates the holiday. Examples of opposition from US and US Virgin Islands only.
* [[Community service]] needs more examples from outside the Anglosphere (and needs a few Commonwealth examples as well); the article also implies that Christianity is the only religion in existence. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 02:59, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
* [[Contract]] Based almost exclusively on the law of common law nations, mostly the U.K.  Even non-Anglophone common law countries like India are barely mentioned.  The article also suffers from serious perspective bias in that it only treats the "legal" aspects of contract and ignores perspectives from other disciplines. [[User:Elliotreed|Elliotreed]] ([[User talk:Elliotreed|talk]]) 04:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
* [[Countermovement]] reads as if non-American countermovements don't exist (the article also looks like an essay for a school assignment). <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 23:30, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

*[[Cronyism]] - only gives examples from the Bush presidency, where politicians all round the world hire their mates for the best jobs.
* [[Crossover (fiction)]] Too many US examples, with some Canadian examples, and few British and Japanese examples; needs much more non-US examples, especially from outside the Anglosphere and Japan. [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] ([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]) 02:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
* [[Culture war]] focuses on the Anglosphere with a very short section mentioning Imperial Germany. <span style="font-family: Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 03:10, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

*[[Cyberstalking legislation]] It seems that governments outside of the United States do not take cyberstalking seriously. <big><span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span></big> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 01:33, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

* [[Editorial cartoon]] <s>Has only examples from the United States and Canada from the past supporting the war effort.</s> Should need current editorial cartoons from other countries regarding other issues.
*[[Education reform]] The article is USA-centric, and is lacking information about education reforms from the rest of the world. [[Special:Contributions/216.125.251.30|216.125.251.30]] ([[User talk:216.125.251.30|talk]]) 22:07, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

* [[Electrical conduit]] Cites frequent examples "in the US" and references to US law, and has some minor notes about the UK, but does not discuss anywhere else.

===F–M===
* [[Famine]] Focuses mostly on the European experience, with fairly limited discussion of the modern phenomenon.
* [[Fan loyalty]] It seems that it only exists in the United States, as if teams participating in international competitions had no fanbases. <big><span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span></big> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 03:55, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
* [[Freedman]] USA-centred. Roman and Greek societies had such a term, to mention a quick example. Article should be rewritten as to broaden the meaning and put USA particularities in relevance proportional to the... extent to which the word refers to USA-terms. Or something, better words lacking. --[[User:Drakferion|portugal]] ([[User talk:Drakferion|talk]]) 09:29, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
* [[Freedom of speech]] <s>Developed World examples only.</s> Short paragraphs on the situation in India, in Asia in general and in Africa. Much potential for expansion.

* [[Ghosting (identity theft)]] The characterization deals with the U.S. as if understood, the rest is not much better.
* [[Grade retention]] Most examples and statistics are from the United States, with a little from Canada, and much less for other countries
* [[Grazing rights]] - mostly U.S. and a little Brit.  Needs expansion for the many other countries that have domesticated grazing animals

* [[Labour law]] Limited to U.S. and U.K. mostly, misses the fact that there are international labor standards. 
** [[Trade union]] Some general history, but country-specific information for U.S., UK and Sweden only (excluding half a sentence mentioning China in the introduction). 
* [[Land mine]].  Almost entirely about the mines themselves and the countries that make and remove them.  Countries plagued by mines are mentioned only in passing.
* [[Lawyer]]/[[Solicitor]] Lead has U.S. perspective, only deals with the U.S., UK and Poland. 
*[[Locomotive]] and the related [[Electric locomotive]] and [[Diesel locomotive]]. Articles need added material on European history and usage, without Euro-biased suppression of North American experience. (This problem affects almost every article about rail technology, though most commonly it's the North American side that's missing.) 
* [[Manga]], specifically the International Influences section, which is mostly American with a bit of Europe.  [[User:ColourBurst|ColourBurst]] 04:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

* [[Market town]] You wouldn't know that trade existed outside of Europe.
* [[Marriage]] too much bias on same-sex marriage—western countries are minority against China, India, Japan and Third World/South America. Article "s.s. marriage already exists". People may consider it "annoying information", just looking for man/woman marriage information. Wikipedia is not a "political platform".
* [[Media bias]] Mainly concerns itself with the U.S. liberal vs. conservative bias discussion. 
* [[Military cadence]] Do armed services outside the United States have these?
* [[Minor party]] There are minor political parties in many multi-party states outside of the United States and Australia as well. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 20:15, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
* [[Mixed-sex education]] Brief discussion of history in U.S. only, and some lists.  Needs internationalization in any case, and might the subject of women's education in Muslim and developing countries be appropriate here?

* [[Modesty]] - <s>passes beyond systemic bias into outright chauvinism: modesty norms outside the industrialized Western world are only discussed (and then only briefly) in comparison and contrast to the average Western norm. Even that norm is generalized and ignores real variations between countries, regions, and ethnicities.</s>  Discussions of religious and cultural norms are no longer based on mere comparison to the average Western norm.  However, still biased heavily in its general discussion of modesty toward generally accepted Western norms.  Still needs work.
* [[Music genre]] only US/West, doesn't even mention that there is music in Africa, or that people who are not Western have music at all. More discussion about "honky tonk" than about entire continents!

* [[PC Engine]] This article, which is about a 16-bit videogame console by NEC, is almost exclusively American-centric. It presents the US model of this system (the TurboGrafx) as an international reference. As discussed in the Talk page of the article, evidence clearly proves that this NEC console was known and distributed in Europe under its original Japanese name, and the name "TurboGrafx" was largely ignored there. The article doesn't need a rewrite: it mostly needs to be split into two distinct items. [[User:Kaminari|Kaminari]] ([[User talk:Kaminari|talk]]) 20:14, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
* [[Peasant]] — Focused on Europe, but most peasants don't live there.--[[User:Carwil|Carwil]] ([[User talk:Carwil|talk]]) 02:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
* [[Physician]] Generally lacking, as it currently deals mainly with training, but only covers the U.S., the UK and France.
* [[Pizza delivery]] -- This article has become very American centric. It focuses entirely on pizza delivery in the United States. Some effort should be made to include pizza delivery in European and Asian countries as well. ([[User:RaF|RaF]] ([[User talk:RaF|talk]]) 16:23, 28 January 2010 (UTC))
* [[Plastic surgery]] has a section on cosmetic surgery which deals entirely with regulatory issues in the US
* [[Police]] Mostly U.S. and UK (for historic reasons) references. Nothing on the role of the police force in neither democratic nor oppressive developing countries.
* [[Proof coinage]] Article reads like the world has only two countries (One is Bulgaria, guess which is the other).
* [[Property law]] Article has almost exclusive focus on the common law tradition, with a few isolated references to other European legal systems (the civil law and Roman law).  There's no discussion of non-European legal traditions and none of contemporary European-derived property law outside the Anglosphere. [[User:Elliotreed|Elliotreed]] ([[User talk:Elliotreed|talk]]) 15:17, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
* [[Public relations]] Almost exclusively uses U.S. examples and figures. 
* [[Public transport]], vitally important throughout the developing world but the details focus on the decision to implement mass transit in industrialized countries
* [[Rape]] Western perspective. Discusses the legal definitions of the U.S. and the UK only. Apart from brief mentions of the social consequences of rape in "societies with strong sexual customs and taboos", and rape as a means of torturing detainees in some countries, the rest of the article deals with the U.S. situation. No mention of the practice of rape as a war crime.
* [[Repossession]] only has examples from the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 02:28, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

*[[Satire]] mainly focuses on those of the Western and Islamic traditions, with examples of Horatian and Juvenalian satire being primarily Western, with modern examples mainly from the Anglosphere. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 02:23, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
*[[Saturday-morning cartoon]] Do non-American television networks have such a programming block?

*[[Secondary education]] The "in various countries" section almost entirely excludes Africa.
*[[Social promotion]] Most examples and perspectives come from the United States with little from Canada and none elsewhere
*[[Special needs]] consists of (a) American general view (b) American legal minutiae
*[[Spontaneous order]] is nearly entirely about economists' views, there is short shrift given to political applications at the core of the spontaneous order concept, and even worse, little to no coverage given to the Chinese philosophers who birthed the concept of spontaneous order over two millennia ago. This is a serious problem of WP:Systemic_bias, and since Confucius and Confucianism played such a huge role in creating spontaneous order (arguably inventing the concept) failure to include this is especially problematic. 
*[[State of emergency]] <s>only deals with the US.</s> <s>Still deals mainly with the U.S., although info on other Western democracies have been added.</s> - 25 countries now. 
*[[Street suffix]] What about street suffices outside of North America?  Before my edits, they were US-centric (I added a few Ontario-specific street suffixes to counter the bias somewhat). <big><span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span></big> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 03:26, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
* [[Student activism]] and [[Youth activism]] Deals with the U.S. only. Nothing is said about the leading role students often take in protesting against oppressive societies, as in Czechoslovakia in 1968 (see [[Jan Palach]]), Myanmar (esp. 1988), China ([[1989 Tiananmen Square protests]]), Iran ([[Iran student protests, July 1999]]), Serbia during Milosevic (see [[Otpor]]) and Indonesia ([[History of Indonesia#Post-Suharto policies|History of Indonesia]]). Also, the student protests of 1968 in places like Paris ([[May 1968 events in France]]) and Mexico City ([[Tlatelolco massacre]]) should also be mentioned.
** I've reworked this page to give it a more international scope - US-specific stuff is in its own section now, and I've added a skeletal Indonesia section. More to do - the above is a great (inspiring!) list of places where student activists have (usually) made changes. - [[User:Cdc|Cdc]] 20:10, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*** I've added a small bit on France. The [[May 1968 events in France]] page is extremely thorough, so all we need here is a brief overview to show the context of it in student activist history. [[User:Leyanese|Leyanese]] 17:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
