It would be good to extend the research of War of 1812 to non-English Wikipedias.
I've had a quick look and it is surprising how many of the articles 'pretty good', but none are very good. I think that there is a depth level at which non-English writers say 'I could easily add more, but the [non-English] article is good enough; if you want more detail you'll almost certainly know English language and should go read the English article. My time is better spent expanding another [non-English] article that isnt yet good enough.'
