File:Steinberg New Yorker Cover.png Many Wikipedia articles have an implicit American bias (IOW editors assume that readers are all either American, European, or incapable of reading English). This article takes it even further. The article implicitly treats New York City as the center of the universe by not even mentioning the city. Instead, we get streets and addresses, something called Park Slope (because "Brooklyn" would be too general, I guess), and finally a reference to New York City after Celia Cooney flees to the exotic land of Florida.
To fix this, the subject needs to be explicitly located in New York City. — ℜob C.aliasALAROB 19:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
{reverted my previous comment when I saw you were the one who added the context LOL} Thanks for adding the context. Wrote much of this as a much worse writer way back when. Eddie891TalkWork 19:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a good article. I think I commented just to have an excuse to post that New Yorker cover somewhere. (Finally got it formatted right.) -- ℜob C.aliasALAROB 18:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
