Hoi!
Well, I agree with most of this, but I'm not sure if it's intended to be in response to my previous post.
Let's call it an indirect comment to the ukr-ru-ru_sib affair :) and more generally to many an Eastern European wiki :)
Not all of them, obviously. Just to name two of them, I have the strong impression that both Polish and Russian wikies are on a different level. They work as real encyclopedias, not just as agit-prop points.
I think that the vast majority of Wikipedians, of any language, are unaware of the pillars.
That's one of our worst problems. Punishing those who violate the pillars may be a temporary solution, but in the end the only good move is to put in a winning position those who comply. Impositions may frighten "bad people" for a couple of days; convenience always captures faithful attention.
