Single source of truth. It would be too easy to split into "alternative facts" if people could successfully establish alternative Wikipedias.
Of course, seeing the direction the world is going, this may happen.
Also, while seeing the benefit of single Wikipedia, I also think it could benefit from larger number of pages about less important topics, not being that strict on what can and can't be a page topic. Extended Wikipedia of sorts.

But you make an interesting point about how authoritative it is perceived. > I also think it could benefit from larger number of pages about less important topics, not being that strict on what can and can't be a page topic. Extended Wikipedia of sorts. I agree, that's why I'm doing WikiFork.
