Probably the basic obscacle is that one article supposedly equals one topic. In reality it's far from the case for almost every article - articles on obscure authors cover their works, articles on cities cover their sights etc.
Also, as mentioned, when articles carve information up at right-angles to each other, you're basically just stuffed. A set of historical articles on a region mapping onto a set of geographical articles, each with its own history, for the same region, is just doomed.
