I don't see how this is a good policy.  By happy accident of languages, 
we have no US-specific Wikipedia, in which Americans get to decide how 
their Wikipedia is going to look---they have to share their English 
Wikipedia with the opinions of all other English speakers on the planet 
who choose to participate.  Some languages aren't blessed with as 
diverse a population of speakers, but this is no excuse for making 
decisions that don't take into account the opinions of the rest of the 
world.
