It's not that "no one on the english wiki bothered to read the Information on the Russian Wiki", but that the vast majority of people contributing to the Metro Wiki in English do not speak a word of Russian. Personally I'm only semi-fluent in Russian and therefore have contributed a little by translating some things from Russian to English, as well as from Polish to English (Polish being my first language).

Lately though I have been extremely busy with full-time work and other irl responsibilities that have stopped me from adding as much as I would have liked. It is, however, great to see more people joining us after the release of Metro Exodus because for a good few years it was basically just me and a few occasional contributors. Somehow we managed to just keep it afloat and up to a decent standard without all these game news, I also deleted all the spam that appeared in this period (which was plenty, unfortunately).

Now that many new users such as yourself are adding new content to the Wiki, be it by translation or other means, please do remember to spend a decent amount of time proofreading your additions. It is also never a good idea to rush articles! There may be different approaches to this at other language Metro Wikis, but here we prefer quality over quantity. Nevertheless, we still very much appreciate your contributions. Thanks for joining and good luck with future articles.
