Hi all,
All political, sociolinguistic, and practical arguments aside, there
are currently 29 votes in support of a separate Cantonese Wikipedia
and 6 against

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.
