Since it's now been 4 days over 2 weeks since a posting about this was
made at the zhwiki village pump, as Angela proposed, and the voting is
currently at 44-15, still a large margin of "support" votes.
Therefore, I am re-submitting the request.

Hi all,
All political, sociolinguistic, and practical arguments aside, there
are currently 29 votes in support of a separate Cantonese Wikipedia
and 6 against
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal_for_Sinitic_linguistic_policy#Vote_…).
Since this hasn't yet been advertised on the Chinese Wikipedia, I
suggest we leave the vote open for another couple of weeks. I have
just posted details about on the Chinese mailing list, and hopefully
someone there will be able to translate it to advertise the vote on
our existing Chinese language wikis. I think it is only fair to allow
the people on those projects to at least be aware of a proposal which
is liable to take away editors from their own wiki.
Angela.
