It would be good to extend the research of War of 1812 to non-English
Wikipedias.
I've had a quick look and it is surprising how many of the articles 'pretty
good', but none are very good. I think that there is a depth level at which
non-English writers say 'I could easily add more, but the [non-English]
article is good enough; if you want more detail you'll almost certainly
know English language and should go read the English article. My time is
better spent expanding another [non-English] article that isnt yet good
enough.'

You seem to be disregarding the entirety of the developing world and
non-English speakers in that statement.
