喺中文維基百科成立嘅早期，由於中文維基百科嘅條目數量仲好小，急需人手進行完善，曾經有人提出咗粵文維基基百科會分散參與中文維基百科嘅人，同時係另一極端，又認為粵文維基唔會吸引參與者。然而，隨著中文維基百科參與人數嘅迅速擴張以及其他漢語維基百科嘅成立，呢種質疑已經逐漸減弱。
In the early days of the establishment of the Chinese Wikipedia, because the number of entries on the Chinese Wikipedia was still small and there was an urgent need for manpower to improve it, it was proposed that the Cantonese Wikipedia would disperse the people who participated in the Chinese Wikipedia, and at the same time the other extreme, and that the Cantonese Wikipedia would not attract participants. However, with the rapid expansion of Chinese Wikipedia participation and the establishment of other Chinese Wikipedias, this skepticism has gradually waned.
