>IME most people default to en.wiki unless they are looking for something very specific that the English language version doesn't cover. It's not surprising en.wiki gets the most attention, it's the one people actually use. That's a pretty wrong generalization. It depends on the country, whether they speak English well enough and if their national wikipedia is big enough (Scandinavian countries, maybe?). In Russia, for example, almost no one reads the English version. I assume it's the case in France as well. Also I've seen friends of mine from Germany exchange mostly German wiki links between themselves.
