It's not the former, as "Random page" reveals. Some decent if stodgy articles. Some slight. If [[cz:Middle East]] is at all typical, they are ducking some areas. 

Redlinks: plenty you'd have thought someone would have filled out by now. Deficiency of vitamin gnome. It doesn't look like anyone searches the site for common spelling errors like "neccesary" or "comittee".

The quality is probably more consistent than early-model enWP. But the coverage is not really very far along the timeline, if that's a fair metric.
