I have noted that Americo-centricity often tenhttp://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=%20pretentiousd to occur when authors have little information from other countries to correlate with. Especially in the areas of language and law (gun law especially, for some reason :-), the bias is often present. The current restrictions on the character set availble for article titles are far worse than most bias IMHO. Welcome to Wikipedia! --Anders Törlind

And a welcome from me, as well. I see you've jumped in with both feet! As to your question about your entries for [[Tasmania]] and [[Van Diemens Land]], I say it's good to have both. Probably under the latter some history about the name should be added, and when and why it was changed. Have fun! --

Hi Manning and welcome... About your renaming of pages to things such as [[Presidents of the United States of America]], [[Prime Ministers of Australia]] -- wouldn't it be better in the singular? For one thing, I'd hope the articles will eventually contain more than just lists, but more detailed info on the nature of the office (see [[Governor-General of Australia]]) -- in which case a better name would be without the plural. Secondly, what if I want to include in an article something like: "Jacques Chirac, current [[President of France]]"? If you make it a plural (i.e. [[Presidents of France]]) it becomes plural. But other than those minor quibbles, good work so far. -- [[Simon J Kissane]]
