His point is is that, at least from his standpoint, the opinions and population aren't as diverse.
The Netherlands and Belgium are right next to each other. And what percentage of Dutch speakers are from outside of them?

I don't see how this is a good policy. By happy accident of languages, we have no US-specific Wikipedia, in which Americans get to decide how their Wikipedia is going to look---they have to share their English Wikipedia with the opinions of all other English speakers on the planet who choose to participate.
Ermmmmm even if their were a US-english specific wikipedia, still everyone who considers themself to speak US-english would want to participate. I do not see the difference. Also on nl we welcome everyone who speaks Dutch. Whether they happen to be Belgium/Dutch/Surinamese or not. For all I care a Dutch speaking Martian contributes. I mean we have Dutch speaking trolls so why not :)
