I think I am starting to understand.
But /"first people should be encouraged to contribute to the Eng-lang 
Wikipedia before others"/ -- what about all the writers who don't speak 
English? Doesn't that make the non-en projects sound like the 
hoby-horses of the linguists among us?
"dealing with issues in only one central article" -- that is a good 
principle. But again: not everyone speaks english.
