any comments or objections anyone has.

Peh-oe-ji is a script/orthography, not a language. The peh-oe-ji
orthography, with some minor modifications, can and is used to write
orther languages such as Hakka and other aboriginal languages in Taiwan.
Historically, wikipedia has been using 'language', not 'orthography' to
classify the wikipedia. When a language is wrtten in only one orthography
there is no problem. When a language can be written in more than one
orthographies, there is a problem. In my opinion, wikipedia doesn't not
provide a method to solve this problem.
