[edit] Order of Countries

Given that this is the English language version of the Wikipedia, it is likely that readers will be interested in UK and USA usage before German, Israeli or Korean. I propose that the article is re-ordered with the ranks of English-speaking countries first. What do people think? 88.105.139.68 17:38, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

  • That would surely upset people as it would it appear that the U.S. and U.K. readers are stating that there versions of the rank are more important than the others. Using the alphabet is a pretty good way to ensure neutral POV. -Husnock 18:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I would certainly agree, the internet is not exclusive to english speaking countries and the Alphabet is fair. [Dan]

Agree with Husnock. Entries should remain strictly alphabetical. -- Necrothesp 20:13, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Alphabetizing the countries using the English alphabet could be seen as NPOV because it does not adequately represent users of the Cyrillic alphabet, kanji, etc. Perhaps they should be randomized. --VAcharon 13:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
