I was threatened with a ban for daring to suggest that there should be seperate English and American wikis.
Also all the city renaming for example: Mumbai (Bombay) and Chennai (Madras). Indians can call what they want what they want but why do we have to follow suit? Seems to have been led by the colonial-apologist BBC. Why don't the BBC start refering to Germany as Deutschland and Spain as Espanya? Because that's not what they are called in English...

I make a point of referring to Peking as Peking.Ditto Bombay, Madras, Burma, Rhodesia, Zanzibar, and more.
We brought civilisation to those benighted godless places; it's a damned cheek for the natives to think that they know better than we do what their places should be called.
