I am not at all convinced that we should have even the 3 wikipedias we 
have right now.  In general, it is quite reasonable to say that there is 
in fact one language here, not 3, not 4, not 10.

The problem of two writing systems is a difficult one, yes.  But the 
fact remains that if you sit down over a beer with people from all these 
dialects, they can laugh and joke and have fun together just as well as 
people with different dialects of English.
