I completely agree with Alex Kwan. Having a Wikipedia
in both
Mandarin/simplified Chinese and Cantonese/traditional Chinese seems
redundant to me as well. One could perhaps compare it with setting up
extra Wikipedias for British and American English (I doubt that the
differences are much bigger; except for the trad/simp issue).
Ack! You've completely mistaken my reasons why I'm opposed to it. I was
afraid that we couldn't find a way to truly show the "Cantonese-ness" of
the wikipedia and I'm very much an all-or-nothing person.
But the variations between Cantonese and Mandarin is very different from
the simplistic picture you've painted and to delve into it right now is
beyond my time limit.
