Hey there! I will indeed check that book - thanks! I don't know if this is the case, but perhaps a number of Wikipedians editing this page have a Cantonese background, it is probably awfully good to hear something even remotely suggesting that the language was once possibly really close to being the language of use in China - even if the statement might be false. I suspect that there is some reluctance to admit this, and probably some other cultural factors are coming into play here. On my part, I have no idea at all about this history, so I'm quite skeptical of anything until I've read it myself in a journal. Initially, I was a bit weary of your comments as I did find them somewhat overbearing - I mean, it's not often that one is told of insanities or whatnot! -D However, I'm really glad to see that things have started to settle down now, and I'm sure the other Wikipedians would agree with me too. You're most welcome to edit the page - why not give it a try now, and take out all the references/suggestions in the article that you think should not be there? I think we're at a point where everyone is willing to listen and hear everyone out. I'll try and help out with the edits as well. At worst, we can revert ) - However, I really don't want an edit war to start here, so please everyone, be kind with your edits and edit summaries! Let's give these few edits about Cantonese a try, so don't be too quick to remove material that doesn't sound right - articles are always in construction!
