Edits on Dutch pronounciation

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua

Hi CodeCat, then you would not mind removing the Northern variants and keeping the Southern ones? I do not believe normal users would read the IPA in terms of phonemes - this is certainly not the common practice on Wiktionary - see for example cancer. Hence, most/all people would read this as what are the common and standard ways of pronounciation, and hence excluding the Southern pronounciations remains a pov. To reply on your other point: as you likely know, there is not an official American pronounciation, and in the UK, RP is a recognized practice, rather than a standard. That does not stop contributors from labelling certain IPA's as UK or US. I am equally open to be more precise. But again, let us keep the different IPA's... I also highly recommend not to continue removing IPA's - this is not constructive as long as we do not have a consensus. If need be, we can consult some of the contributors to the English IPA page.

I'm not sure why you think I'm excluding southern pronunciations. I'm not including or excluding any pronunciations at all, I'm just removing misleading information and using a single common phonemic system for Dutch. As I said, labelling pronunciations as "Netherlands" is misleading and POV, especially when they contain features that are only found in a relatively small amount of speakers. We shouldn't be labelling pronunciations unless the label is accurate and neutral. I will continue to remove the labels "Netherlands" and "Belgium" as these are not correct.
