>why you singled out US and GB
let's take him at his word, "it's thin outside the US and GB." OK, hmmm, how do we get more global coverage? oh, of course, France would be fr.wiki and Germany would be de.wiki, that would really increase global coverage.
now you come in and say "but what about Canada, Australia, etc? there is no nz.wiki et al?" And then you have some ideas about how to do that, ideas which are not strictly "wikipedia" as we see in the headline idea.

Like I said, combine all the Wikipedia editions using Wikidata. > oh, of course, France would be fr.wiki and Germany would be de.wiki And of course, what language is e.g. Belgium (in your model)? > And then you have some ideas about how to do that, ideas which are not strictly "wikipedia" In this strict case, how do you remove duplicates (between the different language editions)?
