Well, it does away with most of the infobox data and those pesky language links...
I like the three-column layout (obviously; [1]), and the map/timezone display is nice.

I thought it looked like one of those pesky commercial travel sites; it might be the subject matter, but it just looked so void of content that I was convinced it was trying to sell me something.

I do think it's a little light on content too (at least for my tastes). But I like the overall direction it goes in. Unsolicited redesigns are seldom used

I imagine the author probably hid the language links in one of the various menus. Definitely minimalist, but doesn't help highlight that we've got other language projects :)
As far as infobox: I think the right area with the picture and population and national anthem is a good area for iteration. It's a little light on info like Risker says, but I think you could add more info there without necessarily cluttering things.
I like the three-column layout (obviously; [1]), and the map/timezone display is nice.
+1.

Strike that "Unsolicited redesigns..." bit. Half-finished thought that wasn't 100% relevant.

In the comment thread at the bottom someone gave him a heads up about the fonts controversy, hopefully he doesn't get totally discouraged from MediaWiki design studies after reading it ;)

I actually think it's interesting that he independently picked a mixed serif/sans-serif approach (going a step further than we did and turning all headlines serif). This is also true for other redesigns such as the recent "more readable Wikipedia" design: http://weare1910.com/sites/default/files/project/wikipedia_new_desktop_full....
Of course there are lots of issues with it - it's always a lot easier when you don't have to design with reality as a constraint :)

Could you or your friend please post https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unsolicited_redesigns to the thread? Designers generally do better with a spec ;-)
