Regarding the article found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God, I am astonished to find that any of the various names of God by the different indigenous peoples around the world is not included. This exclusion has a distinctly colonial feel to it, meaning that it holds a disregard for the attitudes and understandings of those whose traditions are not acknowledged as valid. Certainly, the article recognizes major traditions from Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia and Africa, in a kind of Old World sense. However, this exclusion makes the validity of this article questionable in my view. An initial source, for example, is the web page http://www.native-languages.org/creator.htm, although this is obviously not in any way final. I personally do not know enough to make this contribution, however, I do know enough to note its exclusion.

I think it should be changed to include a fair report from this point of view.
