I know several people have worked on it, on and off, but proof-reading 
should certainly be a requirement before messages are going live.  This
should weed out the cases of non-native speakers contributing machine 
translations.

My motivation was the opposite.  It was the low quality back in the day 
which made me move to the Danish language Wikipedia.  Lots and lots of 
sub stubs had been importet from a similar project, a few people were 
trying to rewrite history, and there were not enough editors to fight 
vandalism.

Speaking of quality, I tend to have more hits than misses in the German 
language Wikipedia compared to the English one, when I'm looking at 
subjects a bit outside the mainstream (inside mainstream it seems equal).
