I don't think it's unreasonable that on the *English* Wikipedia, the English-speaking community should be able to verify at least the core facts.
I think you are thinking of the "monoglot English" Wikipedia. That would be a fork ... for people who "moen" a lot about foreign languages. Yes, why not fork enWP according to this prescription? Of course you'd have to give up scholarly sources on huge amounts of interesting material, but I expect the "moeners" would agree to that.

OK, so I got caught out making a parochial judgment.
My penance was to go and write a short article.
Or was I too light on myself? Should I have fixed six unreferenced stubs? Is that the Wiki equivalent of a Hail Mary?
Hmmmm.
"Say six Hail Marys. Go in peace and sin no more." Or in our case, "fix six unreferenced stubs, go in peace and sin no more".
Well, it's a thought, anyway.
