I think this is a very valuable analysis.

Imagine I would write: "Rotem Dan was born in Holon, Gush-dan municipality" what would you understand by that?
No, but I would likely understand "Rotem Dan was born in [[Holon]], [[Gush-dan]] municipality." (i.e. with potentially mysterious terms linked)
Similarly, we could either write "Michael Jackson was born in [[Gary, Indiana|Gary]], [[Indiana]]." Or we could also add [[USA]] on there. I think both are fine.
(a bit extreme) example: taken from "Reverse Osmosis": The article starts like this: "Membrane separation technology in the application for water supply augmentation has been well recognised and is getting an important role in water treatment. The family of membrane processes is now very diverse. They are generally classified as microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), ..."
This is perfect gibberish to anyone not knowledgeable (or even expert!) in the field. I've noticed most computer-related and social/exact science articles are suffering from some degrees of it.
I agree with this critique of some articles!
There are many more types of "Cultural Biases" which are not listed. However, I am by no means whishing to make Wikipedia more "Politically correct", I understand that most writers on e-Wikipedia are from English speaking countries and western cultures (USA and UK especially), this should be changed. Until then, please be sensitive in what you write.
Yes, I understand what you are saying, and I think it's all good.
