Probably the basic obscacle is that one article supposedly equals one
topic. In reality it's far from the case for almost every article -
articles on obscure authors cover their works, articles on cities
cover their sights etc.

Also, as mentioned, when articles carve information up at right-angles
to each other, you're basically just stuffed. A set of historical
articles on a region mapping onto a set of geographical articles, each
with its own history, for the same region, is just doomed.
