Beware of balkanization.
The above proposal would lead to a situation where people would not
only just read about the so-called "locally relevant" issues that
interest them, but it would probably very soon also lead to the
respective wikis mostly containing the locally predominant POV -- which
may be sharply at odds with the rest of the world. There are enough
global media franchises whose "localized" products sell well enough due
to added local slant and preselection. Our mission, I dare to believe,
is to transcend these things and reach for higher goals.
