Hoi, You are making your problem the problem of others.You have to recognize that your ideas are not universally shared. You also do not find anywhere substantiation of your point of view. The aim of our projects is to provide information, as long as this is what they do, we can agree that we want to have a high standard everywhere and we can all work on improving this standard.
PS Thank you for nominating the thread of Wikipedia for this week. Thanks, GerardM

I am not sure if this is the right place and time, but I am using the opportunity to advertise what I believe is the solution for problems of this kind. It's called Data Extension and could be seen at http://www.rastko.net/~nikola/ http://www.rastko.net/%7Enikola/ .
With it, it is possible to effectively have articles about various
topics
similar to bot-generated articles without them actually being in the database. It is possible to kickstart a small Wikipedia by translating a handful of templates. And, it is possible to further expand the
articles,
as it is with bot generated articles.
I like people "just do things" but please do not "kickstart" small Wikipedias with template translation. It is that: A painfull kick in the ... of the people.
I simply don't want to sit in the same boat with people that think a bot generated article is useful. I don't want to sit in the same boat with projects that don't have the patience to grow sustainable.
If further small Wikipedias are starting to cheat like vo.wp I can guarantee you that there will be a split of Wikipedias.
