: Hi Wesley, just wanted to stop by and say welcome. It's good to see new authors contributing so quickly, and it looks like you have a pretty good grasp on the subpage mechanics too. I'm not active in your workgroups, but if you have any kind of general questions, please feel free to ask. --[[User:Todd Coles|Todd Coles]] 10:02, 8 March 2008 (CST) | |||

Wesley, excellent questions. I had to do some digging to find the actual policy on language usage. I found it here - [[CZ:Editorial Council Resolution 0005]]. It might be somewhere else but I didn't notice. My understanding is that the choice is up to the initial author. The Editor-in-Chief has final say on that, and I believe I've seen him change it on one article, but this hasn't really been a big issue. As far as determining status, you are free to upgrade that as you see fit - as is anyone else. So if you start a stub and label it as such, and I come along and add a few paragraphs, I'd go ahead and upgrade it to "developing" and so on. The only limitations you have as an author is you cannot set the status to "approved". | |||
Hope that helped, let me know if I need to clarify and I'll see what I can do. --[[User:Todd Coles|Todd Coles]] 15:39, 8 March 2008 (CST) | |||
