- Why are you so much against these Wikipedias being created if they
are as you say so useless? Could it hurt?
That would depend on how much difference there is in the written languages/dialects in China, wouldn't it?
Owing to my very limited knowledge of Chinese, I have to hypothesize here. It seems to have been said that Chinese writing is the same all over the country - same glyphs, same meaning attached to the glyphs. Only the spoken language appears to differ so much as to be mutually incomprehensible.
If this is indeed the case, I cannot quite see the point of different Chinese wikipedias. This would appear to me similar to having a British wikipedia, an American one, and an Australian one, on the grounds that both spelling and pronounciation varies. And that would, IMHO, hurt, because you'd have needless duplication and fragmentation of articles. It would be so much more difficult for the reader to find information on a given subject, which is after all the main point of a wikipedia.
Of course, it would be different if there were significant differences among the way the various Chinese languages/dialects were written.
