Glad to see you made it - there are loads of pages you can potentially have a look at and modify (see [[:Category:Linguistics_External_Articles|Linguistics External Articles]] and [[:Category:Linguistics_Developing_Articles|Linguistics Developing Articles]]), and maybe start your own; we're certainly missing [[Turkish language]] at the moment.

Hi. Re: your question on my Talk page, I always head for Wikipedia to check out their version before starting anything new on Citizendium, but this is very much personal choice - maybe you prefer to start from scratch. I think it's worth checking the WP page for any ideas about what to include, even if you don't ultimately upload and modify the WP version. I think it also depends whether you are committed to writing a good article from scratch - you are in CZ for the 'long haul' - or if you'd prefer to edit others' work, which requires less of your time. An example: usually I edit Wikipedia versions, but with the [[Romansh language]] page I started from scratch because I'd written several essays about it as a student. This also gives the CZ pages a different perspective, so they can both complement and compete with Wikipedia. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 20:46, 23 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
I will keep your ideas in mind John. Thanks in advance, [[User:Olcay Sert|Olcay Sert]] 12:37, 24 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
