[WikiEN-l] Re: minor issue, but still a npov warning

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.

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.
