US bias (assuming this is about the US)

I have no problem with articles about the use of phrases laws, and concepts in the US. But as long as this is an international encyclopedia, you can't simply assume we know it is about the US. Which government? Whose uses this term? Please make clear the context. I'd fix it, but I have no knowledge of the subject --Doc (?) 22:31, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there are analogs in other countries so I left that open (a statement of "this may or may not only apply to the USA" seemed somewhat meaningless to me). I thought I had specified that the lengthy example was from the US but I guess I just cited the legislation. --Fastfission 01:20, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is fine now. A 'this may or may not apply' statement is (as you say) unneccessary and silly - all that needs to be clear is that you are talking about the US. A simple 'In the US Born Secret ...' suffices - if someone else knows about another nation, they can expand it later. My problem is when there is not nation mentioned, and we are all to assume its about the US - as if US was the defaut field of interest in WP - that is systematic bias. But, as I say, I think the article is just fine now. Cheers --Doc (?) 09:40, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely... belated, but agreed, and I tried to find analogs or something relevant myself, in case. I don't know if it's worth responding to a nineteen-year old message. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 23:14, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources drop for possible expansion

Just a somewhat unvetted as of yet list. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 17:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
