It is true that from a strict efficiency point of
view, the goal of a comprenhensive and neutral
encyclopedia would benefit from dealing with issues in
only one central article with as many actors as
possible debating/working together rather than several
different articles with only a couple of persons in
each place, even though they are updating their own
articles from the other wikis.
