Hoi, For your information. When a language gets to the stage where it is promoted to a full Wikipedia, the articles written in the Incubator will be verified by a linguist who knows that language.
The question whether Wiki stuff is significant as a reference is not relevant. What is relevant is that an expert opinion is sought to verify that the language used is indeed the language in use. It would not be a problem to ask the expert to look at the data provided to the CLDR. Thanks, GerardM

their test in Wikimedia Incubator:
Wiki* things as such are comparable to drawings on public toilet walls, except that such drawings may carry the author’s name or signature.
My point is that Wiki* stuff as such is not significant as a reference. If reliable references are cited on a Wiki* page, it is better to cite those references directly.
Please remember that anyone can write anything at Wiki* and often will.
