Does the non-English Wikipedias have the same or different problems than the English Wikipedia?

I have been reading the French Wikipedia and it seems to be a civilized place. If my knowledge of French would not make me look like a bad high school student I would start contributing. Their polices are similar to the English version, but they have made some changes which to me make sense. ArbCom members are elected for only one year terms with half of them elected every six months. They have Wikipompiers whose job is to put out fires something the English version lacks.

Yes of course. The French-speaking has had serous problems with its power structure. The Hebrew-speaking Wikipedia seems (form comments in the English-speaking Wikipedia) at least as bad as Jimbo's kingdom. See e.g. Diza's user page. I had over 2,000 edits in the German-speaking Wikipedia before I was infinitely banned. I think it would be worthwhile to have a German-speaking Wikipedia Review, too. So today starts an acceptance trial.

Wunderbar!

(I won't say more, I am stretching my language skills to the limit).
