I considered that the nonprofit organization behind Wikipedia is in the US, but decided that World News is appropriate in this case, since a great deal of the world relies on it, and since its content comes from international contributors. So I guess our thoughts are mostly aligned.
Of note, Jordan, is that this policy is strictly for the English Wikipedia unless other Wikipedias decide to adopt it (IIRC the German Wikipedia already adopted one some time ago). Nevertheless, we get contributions and readership from non-English-speaking all the time as the first and easily most active Wikipedia. (And, of course, English-speaking countries are very much not just the US.)
I agree with you therefore that this constitutes world news.
Wikipedia is an American company, but it does have global reach. Reported as inappropriate for !world@lemmy.world but I’ll allow it for now.
Still a better fit for !news@lemmy.world !technology@lemmy.world or !business@lemmy.world
Edit Downvoted for telling you all someone reported this post but I am ignoring the report?
What is WRONG with you people?
if I had to guess, this is what made people downvote your post lol

Thanks for allowing it.
Yeah, they have global contributers and readers so there is definitely a World angle.
Still couldn’t hurt to crosspost elsewhere.
