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?

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 :)
