===AβE=== * [[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) :It still is completely American. <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> 01:35, 3 July 2011 (UTC) * [[Block party]] What about those taken place outside of the United States and Europe, respectively? Here is a source documenting block parties in Canada and the Caribbean: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/crime/article/1229674---blocko-parties-have-a-long-history-in-toronto <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> 00:01, 21 July 2012 (UTC) * [[Block programming]] What about a few non-American examples? <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> 01:46, 6 April 2014 (UTC) * [[Bogeyman]] What mythical being is used in places, such as Africa and China, and among the indigenous peoples of Oceania and the Americas, is used to frighten children into being obedient? <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> 20:20, 19 April 2011 (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. '''β [[User:MC MasterChef|MC MasterChef]]''' '''<nowiki>::</nowiki>''' Leave a '''[[User_talk:MC MasterChef|tip]] β''' 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) * [[Counterprogramming]] has no non-American examples (of either American shows outside the United States or non-American shows). <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> 01:53, 6 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) * [[Cyberbullying]] Seems as if that only occurs in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada. [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] 18:00, 29 July 2007 (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) * [[Dayparting]] mostly has American and Australian examples with very few British or Canadian examples. <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> 01:51, 6 April 2014 (UTC) * [[Dead mall]] It seems that shopping malls outside the United States and the People's Republic of China never declined. <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> 03:15, 15 April 2012 (UTC) * [[Death]] Legal definition section should be expanded. * [[Derivative work]] Originally US-only, but now contains Canadian law; other countries are definitely needed. <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> 03:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC) * [[Dinner]] Focuses on North America and the U.K. * [[Discount store]] is missing examples of discount stores in the Global South, as well as those in Canada and some European countries such as France, Italy, and Spain. <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> 02:18, 20 December 2015 (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. * [[Eternal September]] is written from an American perspective. <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> 02:05, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
