Exactly and the local community wasn't completely oblivious to Poetlisters conduct back on English wikipedia. He was carefully watched, tutored and polished to what he is now. His own effort was vital, no doubt, but he wasn't unguided.
What I am suggesting is not an Interwiki Police, I would be the first in line to oppose that. What I am suggesting is better communication between wikis. The arrogant tone between wikis should be abolished.
What evidence do you have of this "arrogant tone" except to the extent that it comes from en:wp? If admins from en:wp want to be believed on sister projects they would do well to abandon their love of kangaroo justice.
What I seek is better information sharing between wikis. I should not need to pay attention to individual noticeboards and block logs of every wiki. Intense cases of disruption should be noted in the same site.
We don't really need that. Why should my approach to a newbie be tainted by such prejudicial material? The ones that are really bad will soon get noticed without the need for such a condescending noticeboard. In my years with Wiktionary and Wikisource I have found timewarping admins to be a bigger problem.
For example checkuser info on indef blocked user should be shared among checkusers. If user 'A' is banned on wiki 'X' and then decides to register the account 'B' on the wiki 'Y' the local community should be prepared for it.
I have no use for this kind of infectious paranoia.
