Well most names like "Munich" were anglicized long before the USA existed.
Nowadays we anglicize less - we tend to leave the names of people as
they are; if Spanish actor became an international star today, we might
call him Christobal Colon; but as it is we're left with past anglicization.
Do you think the French wikipedia should write "london" instead of
"londres"?

Jimbo Wales, whoever that is, he probably would rather see the correct
name of things, than the same ol americanized crap.
