User:Simon123/Americocentrism

Americocentrism in an article means that it is affected by American perspectives. Similarly other "centrisms" can occur. It is always hoped that a person writing factual articles will themselves point out where these occur. However, it is known that one isn't always able to do that.

Of course any article can be "unbalanced" due to the fact that contributors have more knowledge of, or are more interested in, particular aspects of a subject than in other aspects. This isn't "wrong", but making such an article more balanced is encouraged. For example, suppose there is an article about highways that is mostly about the US. A German who encounters this should not complain about Americocentrism, but add info on German highways.
