Near East or West Asia?
While I realise that the majority of Wikipedia contributors (at least in English) are European or of European descent, I feel the term Near East (like Middle East, fFar East etc,) needs to be changed to a more neutral, modern geographic term, e.g West Asia, East Asia and so on. These terms (like Near East) assume that the geographical centre of the World is somewhere in Europe. Of course one could argue that even the word Asia is of European origin, but it is, as I said before, neutral. I don't expect anything to change but still, I feel that the point needs to be made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wogsinheat (talk • contribs) 10:08, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
