"From the sound of it, many editors are well aware that there are articles in other languages that are not in the spirit of what the site should be about (your Croatia example). How is such a thing even tolerated by the Wikimedia Foundation, when millions (billions?) rely on this information? I don't get it."
For better or worse, the Wikimedia Foundation cannot be directly involved in the editing of content unless the content violates a law or Wikipedia's Terms of Use. If the Wikimedia Foundation becomes involved in content decisions, rather than just hosting content written by users, they are in danger of losing their
safe harbor status under the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The content problems on the Croatian Wikipedia and elsewhere must be dealt with by the community.
