right by the communities.
But these experiences can not be extended to everywhere. en:wp have
20 times the number of contributers then sv:wp and of course this
means need of different ways of handling problems. I do not pretend to
have anything to teach en:wp, but as said I find nothing useful for
sv:wp hearing of the challenges on en:wp

Actually, the strongest insult I ever felt on a Wikimedia project (I
mean not a "fuck you" from a random vandal, and not a "this guy does not
understand anything" or "this admin does not know the policies" or "stop
POV editing" from a troublesome user, but a real insult from a user in
good standing), was in the Swedish Wikipedia in 2010.
This is my personal experience, and I am not trying to generalize. Just
wanted to note.
Cheers
