I think wikipedia should look the same, have the same policies and customs, and the same spirit, no matter the language.
That sounds like a very effective policy for driving people away.
That sounds like a pretty bold statement without any real back-up ;-)
The Esperanto has uppercase-letters for family-names, only one example. Asian, Hebrew and Arabic Wikipedias need a different look for the Interface because they don't write left->right like we do.
It would certainly not drive *me* away -- quite to the contrary, it would encourage me to contribute more on non-English Wikipedias.
I doubt you really have enough time to contribute to more than one or two WPs.
