- In English, "American" is normally taken to refer to the United States of America. If you feel that strongly, you could try to change it to "United States". However, adding your own personal commentary is not the way to go about it. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 22:58, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- It is not a matter of bias, but a matter of vocabulary. The simple fact is that, in English, "American" normally means "of the United States of America". It may not be strictly geographically accurate, but this is a general purpose encyclopaedia, not a geography text book. The word in question was linked to United States anyway, so I don't see much room for confusion. Ultimately (and as I said previously) if you feel strongly then change it to "United States". ninety:one (reply on my talk) 23:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Amusing as it may be to look for some sort of overreaching US power system in everything, I'm afraid this is not a case of it. I'm also not sure exactly what you're insinuating about me, but it may reassure you if I let you know I am not myself a US citizen... ninety:one (reply on my talk) 23:29, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
