[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.

  • Support. Can't argue with the logic even if it doesn't seem necessary to me. Narco 04:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. American imperialism needs all the help it can get these days. LuiKhuntek 07:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[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)
