Wikipedia in Classical Chinese!

This is amazing. Wikipedia now comes in Classical Chinese (文言文)! (http://zh-classical.wikipedia.org/wiki/) The first step in restoring (what I consider to be) the only true written form of the Chinese language! And for the restoration of the East Asian nations' cross-border literacy.

Down with the imperialistic modern Mandarin vernacular! Long live Classical Chinese and the long-neglected and wrongfully-maligned dialects!

PS. As an aside, I wrote a forum thread on my views of the restoration of Classical Chinese at http://www.chinese-forums.com/showthread.php?t=11622
