On en: vs de:

>From my experience, two (rather unrelated) differences 
are most striking:

(A) On de: the argument "no real (convential) encyclopedia
would write this" is by and large honored (or at least considered).
On en: this argument is ignored, or even considered trollish.

(B) On de: all articles are expected to be accessable to a general
audience (the horrible and horribly named "Oma-Test" -- "grandmother 
test"). On en: there are a lot of articles in mathematics and physics
addressed to users definitively having some education in the area. 
I assume most experts are flocking to en: anyway, as it seems
pointless to have advanced articles in other languages than English.

Regars,
Peter
