I think we'll probably have a generation of drivers who will simply not know what to do and would probably get lost easily if their phone breaks/data-plan runs out.
Look at this open source project for example: http://activeadmin.info/
The front page doesn't leave you wondering why the fuck do you want to use ActiveAdmin for.

Don't get me wrong, Romaji has useful purposes, such as representing place names in Japan for foreigners, etc. But as a learning device for learning Japanese, it's not a very good one.
> not which country has suzerain over which scrap of land
Personally, I don't care much for which country "owns" which scrap of land either, but usually it is the very same passionate nationalists that you referred to that disagree with us. Which is why, I've asked the original question, with what right does any country own a certain piece of land, or not own certain piece of land.
Wikipedia has never been about collecting sum of human knowledge, as it claims. It's about collecting sum of human knowledge that it can verify.
Wikipedia is designed from the beginning to be a tertiary source, and it's not an accident. This is why if you try to put any original content in it, it will usually get reverted, not because the content is wrong or even unhelpful, but the fact that nobody can verify it. (I'm not saying whether this is a good or a bad thing, it's just the way Wikipedia works) If you want to contribute original knowledge, don't use Wikipedia as a vehicle for doing so, you are better off writing to a blog/magazine/academic journal.
If your customers are indeed coming from China, the most logical place to host your server would be Hong Kong IMO. It has good access time from the Chinese mainland and from other Asian countries.

In fact Wikipedia has a page called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IAR which encourages editors to ignore policies and guidelines that hinders them from improving Wikipedia. (How well this policy is applied these days, I honestly do not know)
However, just because notability is a guideline, doesn't mean I should make up a word like "xryzcbslmrwp463vnfd" and define that using Wikipedia.
Now, with regards to wikipedia admins deleting articles overzealously, this is indeed a problem in my opionion, and I have undeleted articles that would of be kept if it was actually discussed in Articles for Deletion. The thing is, most Wikipedia newbies, do not know how to contest the deletion of their article, or even know they should be contesting it because the notability is there and can be asserted.
Note: I'm pretty much summarizing what's on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:N If you think I'm biased, please read the policy directly on Wikipedia itself.
