 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Don't make a topic "in the United States" if we don't say anything about the topic in other places. |
Wikipedia has systemic bias that reflects its base of editors. Among those biases, topics related to the United States generally have much better coverage than other countries, especially those outside of the Global North or the Western world. When you come across an article on a general subject that describes the subject mostly or entirely in the United States, it can be tempting to rename it to include "... in the United States" in the title. This page describes why that's a bad idea, unless you're willing to follow through on it.
The US is used as an example throughout this essay, but its advice equally applies regardless of the specific country in question.
