Unfortunately trolls seem to be very active and winning in a number of languages.

This is not good. Perhaps setting up arbitration committees or something similar in those projects will help. Jimbo would need to give that type of thing the authority its needs to function.

Proposals from within the various language communities would be nice too---there's no specific reason every Wikipedia has to function identically to the en: one, which is in a lot of ways a sort of special case.

Is the problem that there are no proposals for what to do, or no authority to implement the proposals, or does the "outside world" just not know what's going on in a lot of Wikipedias because of language barriers? I confess I have very little idea what's going on in Wikipedias other than en, de, and fr, and I suspect that's true of a lot of people---even ja, a very large and active one, is pretty much a black box to me as a non-Japanese-speaker, and doubly so for many others.
