* [[Native American mascot controversy]] The article mentioned the case in Canada, but not Latin America, in the introduction, yet the article lacked any Canadian or Latin American examples. <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> 03:30, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

* [[Nudity]], especially [[Nudity#Various_modern-era_attitudes|Various modern-era attitudes]] has only Western perspectives, plus a short sentence on Islam, and a bit on Japan, but nothing from Central/South America, Africa, or most of Asia.
* [[Nursery rhyme]] solely deals with songs sung to children from a French and English perspective, and one sentence on indigenous cultures.  Nothing from the rest of the world.
* [[List of oldest continuously inhabited cities]] — Very uneven coverage; several major cities in the Americas, including [[Cusco]], are nowhere to be found.--[[User:Carwil|Carwil]] ([[User talk:Carwil|talk]]) 02:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
* [[One-way traffic]] Seems as if one-way traffic is only used in [[Lima]], [[Peru]]; much of the [[United States]]; Canada; and [[Europe]].
* [[Parking lot]] Seems as if parking lot legislation only exists in [[Sweden]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States]], though there are examples of parking lots in Japan and Canada.
* [[Partial cloverleaf interchange]] (Parclo) mainly has 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> 02:22, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
* [[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)
*[[Rubbing alcohol]] Laws and uses are only mentioned in UK and US contexts [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] 17:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
*[[Sandpit]] Mostly general, but lack details about its use in playgrounds outside North America; before my edit, it was US only. [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] 03:09, 31 July 2007 (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?  It lists Canada (as [[Nelvana]]) and Japan (as [[anime]]) as "foreign" sources of programming for Saturday morning cartoons, but it mentions nothing about those countries having such programming blocks on their networks. <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> 15:48, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
*[[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)
* [[Store brand]] and [[Generic brand]] both lack non-American examples, though the latter has a few British examples (and See also links to a Canadian, a Japanese, and a fictional American generic brand). <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> 03:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
* [[Lists of most common surnames]] is split up by region and has many uncovered countries
** no lists at all for popular African surnames as of May 2011
** Central America only lists common surnames in Nicaragua as of May 2011
* [[Theme music]] only has examples for the United States and the United Kingdom (though the video game section has only a single example, one from a Japanese video game series) <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> 00:05, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
* [[Tort]] This article almost exclusively discusses the common law system of the Anglosphere, contains only brief mention of the civil law, and ignores other legal systems entirely. [[User:Elliotreed|Elliotreed]] ([[User talk:Elliotreed|talk]]) 20:00, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
* [[Town drunk]] only has examples from the United States and the British Isles (with Shakespeare being the earliest listed example); there should be plenty of fictional alcoholics depicted in non-Anglophone media, but they aren't mentioned at all for some inexplicable reason. <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> 02:10, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
* [[Traffic congestion]] This article mainly focuses on traffic in the United States.  It contains only a small mention of traffic in the UK, Iran, China (including Hong Kong), Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Venezuela, with images from Russia, India, Thailand, Taiwan, Germany, and Portugal.
* [[Transportation planning]] Only focuses on the United Kingdom and 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> 04:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
* [[Unemployment]] Focused on the U.S., with a lengthy discussion on the U.S. definition and little or no mention of unemployment in other parts of the world.
** Underemployment, a much more widespread problem than unemployment in the developing world doesn't have an article at all, although it could be treated as part of the unemployment article if it was revised. --[[User:Sepa|Sepa]] 21:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
*** Actually, there is an article for [[Underemployment]], albeit a poor-quality one. --[[User:JerryOrr|JerryOrr]] 16:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
* [[Urban planner]] There are many more urban planning institutes than those listed in the article, especially in countries that are not listed. <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> 20:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
* [[Variety show]] needs examples from other countries as well, such as from Canada, Brazil, and all of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South and Southeast Asia (aside from the Philippines). <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> 22:10, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
* [[Veneration of the dead]] focusses on [[China|Chinese]] and [[East Asia]]n practices, with nothing on [[Africa]] or [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Amerindians]] (do they have ancestor worship?) --[[User:Taejo|Taejo]] 09:39, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
**Expanded, but still nothing on Indigenous Americans. [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] ([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]) 22:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
* [[Video game controversies]] It seems that much of the article focuses on the American perspective.  All of the legal cases are in the United States.  There is almost nothing about video game controversies outside of the United States (aside from a few publicized incidents). <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> 02:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

** [[List of controversial video games]] emphasize those that are controversial in the United States and not in other countries much (and the list is also biased in favour of recent video games; most games that are listed are American with a few Canadian and Japanese games). <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> 15:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

* [[Water resources]] "The problem: Human populations in some areas ('''e.g. southern California, Israel, and Florida''') are growing from 1 to 3% per year, while fresh water supplies are remaining constant or shrinking." Ever heard of a place called Africa? This article hasn't.
**  I've re-written and re-focused this article.  As it stands, there are no explicit geographical references - don't know if that'll make you guys happy or sad.  In the process of further refining this article, I expect specific geographical references will be worked back in or linked to.  [[User:Toiyabe|Toiyabe]] 19:44, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

* [[Wordfilter]] is mainly about its uses in Anglophone online and video gaming media, especially in the implementation section, which mainly consists of video games from the United States (and to some extent, the United Kingdom).  All of the examples in the article are applicable to English-language filters.  There is completely nothing about wordfilters for other languages. <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> 02:32, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
