So you're aware, people from all over edit the articles (and there's
nothing stopping anyone from downloading them and starting a fork, in
your country or any other).  Also, Jimbo is not the author of even 1%
of the material in WP (I doubt he's read any significant fraction of
it either), and certainly those of use who are US or EU residents do
our best to keep the content neutral for everyone.

Maybe if you explain your concern in more detail the list can help
offer a solution?
