Dear Colleagues
Let me start off by pointing out the fact that I am never sure about
exactly what issues are handled on this list and secondly when are
the
issues of a specific language Wikipedia handled among that community
and
when are they (these issues) - if ever - handled at a higher level
(Wikipedia top level).

Best regards,

Indeed, among the top-10 Wikipedias the Portuguese and the Russian ones
have the reputation of the projects where users are more preoccupied
with fighting each other and proving points (in the sense of
[[:en:WP:POINT]]) that with creating encyclopedia.
On the other hand, nothing ever will be done about it outside these
projects. I do not see WMF ever stepping down, under any circumstances.
One can open RFC on Meta, which has 100% chance of leading nowhere. Even
admins of minor projects, with a long history of abuse, in practice
always never get desysopped.
Therefore, I am sorry to say, if you can not defend your cause inside
the project, forget about it.
(This does not mean I agree with you that you cause is the right one;
in fact I have no opinion).
Cheers
