But what guarantee do you have that e.g. the German Wikipedia is "doing
things the wikipedia way"? And what would you do if you knew we aren't?

I think it's very important that the people (often just one or two)
working on a new international Wikipedia are already indoctrinated with
our ideals (or have a social Wp-habitus, if that sounds nicer ;-).
Otherwise a new Wikipedia could become totaly tendentious, and it would
be very unattractive for others to participate. I fear this will happen
in the future, but hopefully enough multilingual "old hands" will
allways keep an eye on upcoming Wikipedias.
