How do those of you who write well in two languages feel about this idea?
IMHO we mostly already do it. EN.wiki is the largest knowledge base available on the net, so it's absolutely natural for multilingual people to go there and use it. And once you are there it's also natural to check and correct the info, add missing bits etc.
In that case, could you (and anyone else reading) please do an experiment for me? Pick a featured article on a Wikipedia not in English; translate it to as high a quality article on en: as you can; and tell us how long it takes for each part of the process. This will be useful in seeing how many man-hours we would need.
