What I want to emphasize is that majority of articles represent western democratic, capitalistic, liberal culture. Reading these articles you won’t learn anything extra that you were tought in school. On one hand it is ammusig how english wikipedia became a western culture mirror. On the other hand it is sad that you can not get insights into other cultures without western culture filter.

There are quite a few other entry points out there created by non-westerners; why complain that an index created by westerners for the English Wikipedia has a western bend? How could it conceivably be different?
