Don't know if it could be considered a private practice though.

No offence to everyone, but how come in the article it is only "Americans" that are being referred to?

You can change it! The article was originally from Wikipedia, part of the initial population of the PlanningWiki database. I'm trying to edit articles as I copy them over, but ocvasionally I'll miss something. PlanningWiki isn't intended to be US-only, and when you see things like that, you're encouraged to "be bold" (a Wikipedia guideline that applies on PlanningWiki) and edit them.

The Wikipedia community encourages users to be bold in updating articles. Wikis develop faster when people fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure the wording is accurate, and so on. We expect everyone to be bold; it's all right. How many times have you read something and thought, "Why aren't these pages copy-edited?" Wikipedia not only allows you to add, revise, and edit the article — it wants you to do it. It does require some amount of politeness, but it works. You'll see.

Also, of course, others here will edit what you write. Don't take it personally. They, like all of us, just want to make Wikipedia as good as it can possibly be. Bring out all information that you can.
