It's good to see universal debates we can learn from, but I enjoy
discovering the tasty differences among Wikipedias.

My favorite - at Wikimania, I was moderating a panel, and one
presenter (CathyMa) talked about barnstars. I explained to the
audience that barnstars originated to be given by anyone to anyone for
appreciation.

Rui Silva of Portugeuse Wikipedia dissented, saying it wasn't so on pt:

Me: "You don't just give out barnstars to anyone?"

Rui: "Oh no. Not just anyone can get a barnstar. The community must vote on it!"

:)
