Hi Felix,
I think one thing that would help would be to add more to the list of topics. This would make it easier for incoming users, and there would be a wider range. Include perhaps links to famous people from Gwangdung and Hongkong and Macao, specific locales within Hongkong and Gwangchao, (ie, famous neighbourhood, districts, buildings, and landmarks, maybe also suburbs, nearby mountains, rivers, bays, ...)
Good idea. I will work on it.
I would do this myself but I'm not sure so much on famous things, and I don't know if there's a difference between the Guanhua-Baihuawen names for people and places and things and the Cantonese name for things.
Never mind trying. If you make a mistake, other people will correct it. Alex K is back. *She* will surely help a lot. ^_^
Another issue is do we want to include extremely divergences like Toishanwa, or do they need even a separate Wikipedia?
Let's see how divergent it is if someone really writes in Toishanwa. There is already much opposition to the one written in Standard Cantonese. Let's worry about those things later.
