I don't know what you're reffering to as 'standard english'. There are many forms of English. First, there's American English, British English, Australian English, and Irish English. Then each country has its legalese, which might be regarded as official english. Then, within American English, there are several similar gramatical dialects that states create for the purpose of standardised testing (oops, I can't spell like that on the test, that's the British spelling) and each state has its own dialect of the national legalese.

As I read it, SV implied that he'd standardise the English on Wikipedia.
And despite what I've said above, I couldn't support any other plan,
because we are in fact writing in standard English --
more precisely, that English that is widely understood around the world.
Using AAVE or Bangladeshi dialect would limit our audience,
and *that's* why we should rewrite such into standard English --
even though standard English is no more correct or educated.
