What UTTER nonsense. This has nothing do with bias, just a difference of outlook. I CANNOT imagine how you can possibly consider this naming difference bias. And I am offended that you believe that there is some sort of conspiracy among English-speaking Wikipedians to downgrade the accomplishments of other people. How about cleaning up the French language Wikipedia before you start casting stones?

Then we just do not have the same perception of what is neutral, this is all. For me, naming things (like a polish city) may have to do with neutrality of report.
and it's unfair to hardworking editors to say that they're biased and not doing anything about it.
This is an unfair comment, as I mentionned that the articles were great. What I report rather tends to fit in systemic bias of Wikipedia.
There is a bias of the en wikipedia to have anglo success appears bigger than they may appear to african people for example, just as there is definitly a bias on the french wikipedia which makes France appear more important that other french speaking countries.
We are all biaised, and little can be done about this.
