I think there is a huge number of notable topics that

what about China and South America? The areas most Wikipedians care
about are well covered, so we don't notice the gaps. The meme that
Wikipedia is finished and we only need to add new things that become
notable is very dangerous.
I wonder how we compare to Britannica et al in this regard. Certainly
we don't have many articles on African countries. But do other
English-language encyclopaedias?
