[edit] Requested move
Westernisation → Westernization – The Westernization article was created nearly a year earlier, but turned into a redirect with the rationale "duplicated article" (see here and here) a few months after the creation of Westernisation. Please don't accuse me of Americani(s/z)ing or something. It was also predominantly spelled Westernization in the article, and I unified it after seeing this probable attempt at de-Americani(s/z)ation. It likely wasn't moved properly although I've not looked into it (such moves without moving page history are illegal under our licence and they should have been merged rather than C+P'd). Also a majority of pages link to the z article despite how long it's been this way, meaning it's not a case of a move being more trouble than it's worth, hence my suggestion.

[edit] Error of Fact
Acculturation is not a specific term for Westernisation. Children are accultrated when they are socialised into any culture. China is acculturating Tibetans, Mongols and Manchu into Han society as Japan has acculturated the Ainu. This needs correctionJohn D. Croft 19:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
