When asked where the English Wikipedia fails, it is for me in the other cultures. However, when you consider the Wikipedians that have a different mother tongue, there is a group that does their native language and there are others that work on the English Wikipedia. It could be argued that the quality of the articles in the English Wikipedia has a relation to the quality of the Wikipedia in the local language.
I think en.wikipedia does reasonably better than the other wikipedias on
this, because there are so many non-native speakers that write on it. It is easier to drift towards a "national" POV with languages that no one speaks outside a country. It's still not perfect, but it could be worse.
