Unfortunately it seems that lately, that statement -
"an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language"
Should be changed to: "an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in only the most populous or their respective state-sponsored languages."

Hi Ashar,
you cannot even imagine which mail I was writing right now. So thank you! And really the community should say a giant thank you!
I was sincerely asking me what Wikipedia is about considering what was going on here. If it was really that great like I believed. What it really stands for.
Thank you for considering the most fundamental policy of Wikipedia - "an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language".
See: in my answer I made it clear that it is not a question of creating that wikipedia - this can be done anywhere, but the fact to be able to create easily interwiki-links, to create cross references, to use and provide material for commons/wikibooks/wiktionary/ultimate wiktionary - this is the mayor reason for having such an Encyclopedia with the Wikimedia Foundation (at least for me).
Have a great Sunday!
Sabine
I am willing to handle the task of new wiki creation ;) Going to test the installation process this afternoon and hopefully pending wikis will be made available soon.
