Another good point. It's really a syndrome of "en's younger brothers" mentality. Said syndrome is usually marked by far more relaxed discipline than on en, and considerable antipathy towards en people who dare suggest that en standards might actually be better.
This mentality, as I read it, is how Poetlister got a foot in the door at WQ: how the accounts there still aren't all banned and retain most privileges, how an attempt to merely tag them as socks based on FT2's meta report got reverted, and it also explains this thread: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ANI#admin_abuse:_block_on_wikitionary
Personally, I think some chips need to come off shoulders here. There needs to be greater cross-project cooperation, not pointless hostility for the sake of it.

For some reason the wikiquote impostor Crum375 has not yet been renamed despite now being admitted as a bad faith creation. There are few things on Wikimedia projects which are utterly inexplicable but this is certainly one of them.
