This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Anti-Americanism article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.
Please stay calm and civil while commenting or presenting evidence, and do not make personal attacks. Be patient when approaching solutions to any issues. If consensus is not reached, other solutions exist to draw attention and ensure that more editors mediate or comment on the dispute.
This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Anti-Americanism was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Oppose The term is used much more broadly than conveyed by "sentiment". For example, according to the lead sentence, sentiments and positions including opposition to its foreign policy. NightHeron (talk) 09:27, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Mild Oppose I say "mild" in that the suggestion isn't egregiously wrong, and if there were consensus for it that would seem fine to me. However, per NightHeron, the term "Anti-Americanism" is generally broader in usage and this seems to be reasonably well explained in the lead. Also noting that "Anti-American sentiment" is already a redirect to this article, so anyone looking for sentiments is going to find it. CAVincent (talk) 10:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Comment: It literally says Anti-Americanism (also called anti-American sentiment or Americanophobia) is ....
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
For what's its worth, reiterating my mild oppose for the same reasons that I gave when this came up (above) last September. CAVincent (talk) 05:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Oppose. Currently the only evidence of a WP:COMMONNAME is the Ngrams graph, which shows a strong preference for the current title. Briefly going over the references in the article, both the current and proposed titles are used, but it seems that the current title is more common. If the nominator or another editor can find evidence that "Anti-American sentiment" is the more common name, ping me and I will reconsider; if this discussion has been closed, feel free to start a new one. However, with the current evidence, I oppose this move. Toadspike15:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Anti-Americanism is the more common name, but its inconsistency with other articles on xenophobia implies American exceptionalism. Only the European and American examples except this convention (sometimes racism replaces negative sentiment depending on context) Alexanderkowal (talk) 15:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Comment 1) Consistency between article naming conventions is a considerably less compelling argument than WP:COMMONNAME. 2) Suggesting that the name of this article implies American exceptionalism seems a bit overwrought. CAVincent (talk) 05:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
I’m just saying that it is very ironic for an article on negative sentiment towards American people to be titled in a way that makes it exceptional. I would’ve thought that especially American people would want to counter this. Policy is a guideline remember Alexanderkowal (talk) 17:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. PianoDan (talk) 20:35, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Done It might be a good idea to put it in the lead. —Panamitsu (talk) 04:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
