Oops.
I was thinking of another non-English semifork of Wikipedia which has way more articles than the Wikipedia version, and whose owner is deeply involved in Wikipedia but while bragging in private e-mails and on-list about how much work he/she does compared to others to put more free content online, does not consider allowing the corresponding language version of Wikipedia to share content.
*cough*

Where are you getting this information? From what I know, the Spanish Wikipedia passed Enciclopedia Libre in terms of article count a long time ago. The counts currently stated on their main pages are 50,508 (es.wikipedia.org) versus 28,165 (enciclopedia.us.es).
I do agree that being friendly and supportive is much more likely to bring them back in, on their own timetable, than trying to push the issue too much.
