Just a question...
Have you noticed NSK, that aside from the english wikipedia, there are other languages buzzing with activity ?
Yes, there are.
And most of the bigger encyclopedia show a lot of activity to promote wikipedia in other languages.
The german encyclopedia is especially successful for reaching media, the french is beginning to have nice success as well, and the japanese seems to do well.
We get new contributors everyday, and some of them trickle to the english speaking encyclopedia; each trickle help to balance.
Note that I tried to reach north africa, largely french speaking, during the last global press release, but we are not meeting much success right now.

I have noticed that many people believe that a number of Wikipedia articles are very US-centric and I think in some occasions this is true. I would say that you might need more non-US contributors.
Have you considered using geotargeting advertisement for solving this problem? For example, you could target ads to places like India, Japan, South Africa, UK, Brazil or Canada.
