Impact on India

Is there a reason this is here, and if so that Impact on $OTHER_COUNTRY isn't?

U.S. bias

This article has U.S. bias. Quote from EST:

EST may stand for:

• Eastern Standard Time - There are three time zones known as Eastern Standard Time (Australian time zone UTC+10, Brazilian Eastern time zone UTC-3 and North American time zone, UTC-5)

Please add the information about the two other time zones. I just don't have the time atm, might do it later. —kooo 13:17, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)

The great thing about Wikipedia is that anyone may edit it. It may be that only North Americans have edited this article (The eastern time zone extends into Canada also). Please feel free to add this other information.

I've moved the page to North American Eastern Standard Time Zone. This should solve the problem. Jimp 15Jun05

The article still has a U.S. bias. It does not elaborate on which parts of Ontario and Quebec that Eastern Time is used in, and how DST is used in the Canadian regions. It also implies that the Canadian regions are not part of the time zone, but merely follows the same time. I myself am not certain about the information that is missing, and would appreciate it if someone will fix the article. Noting that other users have noticed a U.S. bias I will place a tag on the talk page.

In Ontario and Quebec it's not known as EST directly, but as HNE - Heure Normale de l'Est. During observance of daylight saving, HAE - Heure Avancée de l'Est. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.235.159.104 (talk • contribs)

Not true for Ontario anglophones! They just call it Eastern Time Zone (or EST). QuartierLatin1968 17:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Anglo Ontarians (myself included) do not use French terms. — Nathan ^(talk) _{/ 23:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)}

Double redirects

I corrected several double redirects to this article (perhaps the page had been moved and nobody changed them). Afonso Silva 22:31, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Illustrate this article with picture of Metronome sculpture?

Please see Talk:International Atomic Time#Union Square NYC. --Mathew5000 22:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Much as I love the picture, it is placed rather poorly. May I suggest someone moving it?--Izno 09:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
