I'm completely agree on that and would add (to make it closer to
context of  Excirial wording):

... nor per country neither per culture, and no culture own no
Wikipedia in no language.

I'm talking about matter of fact (see [[WP:5P]]), without any
connection to whether I like that or not.

If somebody need another situation he/she should start another wiki
(on Wikimedia platform or not) with different "pillars".

Sincerely,

Pavlo
