Okay, then create it. Go ahead. Nobody is stopping you.

I wish the Yoruba, Swahili, Igbo, Xhosa, Zulu and even Afrikaans Wikipedia were suffering from the problems the English Wikipedia is known for.
So the problems are a _good thing_ because they indicate the project is mature and doing good work? The project is _not_ mature - there is plenty of room for improvement, but improvements cannot be made because so many people disagree on what consitutes "improvement" and no group gets a final say, for better or for worse; and people are so insecure that they must use perfectly ridiculous pseudonyms on the project because of some "it's safer" claim. The project is arguably doing good work, but is crushing that work with junk-heaps of bureaucracy, ill-enforced civility and politeness, rules and governance of contested status, allowance of bullying and stalking, and so on, et cetera.
If you disagree with me, feel free to do so. I'm not trying to brainwash you into thinking that Wikipedia is bad; but please maintain an open mind towards Wikipendium, and consider that there are plenty of improvements that it might make on Wikipedia's systems. Consider it this way: some of us are satisfied with Wikipedia, and some of us aren't; and some of us are going to create Wikipendium, because we can't be bothered spending years trying to get an improvement, be it social or technical, into the system - we've got articles to write.
Thank you,
Thomas
