there's a question - if the US government offered us money, no
strings attached, how would people respond?
They'd accuse us of being Americentric, of course.
And to a certain extent (at least in terms of the "popular culture"
stuff, which we would be better off without), we are.
This is not going to change any time soon, because the pool of editors is
drawn from those with access to the Internet, and the Internet is mainly in
the U.S., especially when you consider that we are working on the
English-language version. I see this as self-correcting in the long term,
with other nations increasing their access, though I'm not sure about the
contribution to be expected from Nigeria's Internet pool.
