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.
