Should WIkipedia cater to the tastes of its majority of users or to the majority of its potential users? Do we seek to be usable for the global population or for the American population? It seems from previous discussions that there's no consensus on this issue.

To continue to be a complete pain in the arse, I would have to ask
what you mean by "consensus on this issue". Who was asked? If you
asked a group of Australians whether Wikipedia should be biased
towards Australia or be unbiased, I'm not sure we would come up with
"consensus" either.
