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.
{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. Eddie891TalkWork19:46, 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.aliasALAROB18:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
