In fact no one has replied in specific to my most recent proposal as to why it might be unacceptable (http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2004-October/035317.html)

You are wrong. To me English is English I am colo(ur) blind to what makes English English or American. You forget that there other types of English as well and as I mentioned earlier when I am expected to do the work YOU want people to do, you can count me, and with me many non-native (whatever English) speakers out, to contribute to EN:wiktionary. I have posted these reasons before.
On a brighter note, your problem got me thinking and I have introduced templates in the nl:wiktionary to enable the indication of words in their regionality. I have created templates for German, English and Chinese at this time. Propably more will follow. (see [[wikt:nl:Catalaans]] for an example with traditional and simplified Chinese The names for the templates are zh-tc and zh-sc. I welcome any suggestions to make them more usable.
Thanks, GerardM
