===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. * [[Friday night death slot]] Aside from the obvious, do any other countries' television networks have this or similar death slots? <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> 03:45, 6 April 2012 (UTC) * [[Friendly political wager]] needs significant work, with more examples from outside the United States, Oceania, 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> 16:58, 19 November 2015 (UTC) * [[Gang]] Deals almost exclusively with the U.S. * [[General strike]] - Rome, North America, Europe have narrative sections, nowhere else does. Note that largest general strikes have probably been in India.--[[User:Carwil|Carwil]] ([[User talk:Carwil|talk]]) 02:50, 1 February 2012 (UTC) * [[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 * [[Harp]], [[Lyre]], [[Flute]], [[Drum]] and [[Musical notation]] are all eurocentric. [[User:Nannus|Nannus]] 18:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC) * [[Height restriction laws]] Has only examples from US, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, Bali, and Singapore. * [[Homeschooling]] Much of the article deals with homeschooling in the United States, especially with the statistics. * [[Homework]] History section only deals with the United States. * [[Honor system]] primarily deals with the United States. <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> 04:19, 31 May 2013 (UTC) * [[Hotelling's law]] has American examples (in the Applications and Real Life sections) and one image showing a Polish 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> 22:47, 27 January 2016 (UTC) * [[Illegal immigration]] Only U.S. references. (Although the French Wikipedia's Sans-papiers article does not seem to have that much to add, it might at least provide a starting point for a European perspective. However, this article needs much more than that.) * [[Infomercial]] What about those outside the United States? Information about infomercials outside the United States, but is only one paragraph long. <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> 04:42, 22 December 2008 (UTC) **There is now a (short) section on informercials outside the United States, but definitely needs expanding. <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, 20 September 2009 (UTC) * [[Information and media literacy]] Are Canadians the only ones who are media literate? <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> 01:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC) :It is more balanced, but what about continental Europeans, Africans, or Oceanians? <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> 21:24, 4 February 2010 (UTC) * [[Innuendo]] Most of the examples are from American television programs. <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> 15:02, 22 August 2011 (UTC) * [[:Category:Inventions]] <s>The only inventions-by-nationality categories we have are for English-speaking nations: thus there's [[:Category:Australian inventions]] but no [[:Category:German inventions]], even though we have a huge number of [[:Category:German inventors]] each of whom presumably invented something notable. It's tempting to suppose that only nationalists tag articles with invention-by-nationality. —[[User:Blotwell|Blotwell]] 22:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)</s> ** There is now much more list of inventions from non-Anglophone countries, but still needs more countries, especially in the developing world. <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> 02:13, 18 September 2010 (UTC) * [[Journalistic scandal]] A long list of examples, all but one or two from the U.S. * [[Kids' meal]] is primarily in the American context, with all examples of restaurants serving such being American. The legislation section lists a few countries that are not the United States. <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> 02:39, 25 December 2017 (UTC) * [[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) * [[Marathon (media)]] has no 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> 01:47, 6 April 2014 (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? As of May 2011 there's very brief sections for Hong Kong and France. The UK and China have 3-4 paragraphs. [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 18:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC) * [[Model minority]] Yes, there is information about model minorities outside the United States, but information about the United States takes up the bulk of the article. <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> 21:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC) * [[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!
