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.
