For Tamil wiki there was a control over the Google's project. I hope that had helped to control the damage. But think about the wikis where Google employees were having a free hand.

Great, now in ta wiki we are stuck with the task of correcting a 1000 crappy large articles. No wonder they showed little interest in correcting or copy editing and always wanted to push for more new articles. They must have had an internal target of X words or so for gaining experience for the machines. Once that was done they have closed up shop.

"You can expect translations for these new alpha languages to be less fluent and include many more untranslated words"

If this is the officially admitted state of an alpha release, imagine the quality of the articles this project created using beta versions.
