As I noted before, it is a dialect continuum.
Stellingwarfs and Middel-pommersch are surely not mutually intelligible, but Grunnegers and Oostfreesk very well should be.
You are foolishly dividing Platt by nations. This is illogical. If we had an Oostfreesk Wikipedia, Grunnegers-speakers would surely understand it and vice-versa, even though Grunnegers is in the Netherlands and Oostfreesk is mostly in Germany.
The problem of dialect continuum is a very difficult one.
HOWEVER, given the community reaction to a request for a Baseldytsch Wikipedia, I think the same is logical for a request for a "Dutch Low Saxon" Wikipedia -- your language may be different to whatever degree than what many people on X Wikipedia use, but there is no rule forbidding its use. There is no rule against writing pages and pages and pages of content on nds.wiki in Stellingwarfs or Achterhooks. When I suggested doing this, I got a cold response that Dutch Low Saxon and German Low Saxon aren't mutually intelligible. Before whinging to us about that, can you at least actually try to use your dialect on nds.wiki to prove to us that it really doesn't work?

Mark here we go again. It has plenty of support and someone reacted to your arguments. You do not speak it. So how can you judge?
