You don't see the irony of saying that because Americans use the word, we aren't allowed to us it on Wikipedia? That because it's an Americanims, it's de facto wrong? Sounds like anti-American arrogance, to me. This is really, really, really, getting old. Fine, you don't want Americopedia. What about anti-Americopedia? Why don't you go off to your little corner of Europe and start your own?
I think you must have replied to the wrong message or something, since the one you did reply to bears no relationship with what you say here. It doesn't say that "because it's an Americanims, it's de facto wrong", it says "leave it in whatever language the original author used". That may or may not be a good idea, but it's certainly not "anti-american" in any way, shape or form.
PS, can you not reply at the *bottom* of quoted bits? And snip irrelevant bits on your way down? It'd make things much more pleasant to read.
