Guy Fawkes Night is a major yearly event In New Zealand and has been so for decades,
yet barely gets a mention here. Instead, nearly a third of this article is about Guy Fawkes in regards to how it relates to the USA where it is basically unknown. Is wikipedia only about the USA and how things in the world related to the USA?

good point no one gives a damn that the USA doesnt celebrate it. The americanisation of wikipedia is getting worse these days. An idea for the editors why not talk about who does celebrate it rather than who doesn't? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.14.189 (talk) 13:16, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Guy Fawkes Night in South Africa
According to Avax.news: Guy Fawkes day is celebrated mainly in England by burning his effigy on a bonfire to mark a foiled plot to blow up Parliament in 1605, but Guy Fawkes Day has a different meaning in South Africa, where it is a day of absurd cross-dressing. Comical troupes of children in clumsy make-up and adult clothing sing special Guy Fawkes songs and dance in the streets as they playfully beg for coins from passing admirers.

Change The Title
Literally NOBODY in the UK calls November the 5th "Guy Fawkes Night". I am literally flabbergasted that this utter nonsense is even a thing. Literally NOBODY calls it that. It is "Bonfire Night" to ALL of us
