	English language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		English is also the most widely used language for young backpackers who travel across continents, regardless of whether it is their mother tongue or a secondary language.
		English is the most widely learned and used foreign language in the world, and as such, some linguists believe that it is no longer the exclusive cultural emblem of 'native English speakers', but rather a language that is absorbing aspects of cultures world-wide as it grows in use.
		English as a lingua franca for Europe is a new variant of the English language created to become the common language in Europe, spoken in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

	American English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		American English has both spelling and grammatical differences from British English, some of which were made as part of an attempt to rationalize the English spelling used by British English at the time.
		English words that arose in the U.S. A number of words that arose in the United States have become common, to varying degrees, in English as it is spoken internationally.
		English words obsolete outside the U.S. A number of words that originated in the English of the British Isles are still in everyday use in North America, but are no longer used in most varieties of British English.

	Wikipedia - Anarchopedia
		It suffers from a combination of software deficiencies and a developer and sysop power structure that is the opposite of democratic, and strongly favours insiders over outsiders.
		The result is that it is the responsiblity of a banned user to prove their innocence; and somehow defend themselves against the cabal.
		There are no designated editors to make final decisions, in any language, instead this is a power struggle of sorts, with a GodKing who speaks only English and can't possibly read all the disputed articles or judge their content.

	Wikipedia - Simple English Wikipedia

	apophenia: Academia and Wikipedia
		Posted by: Thad at January 4, 2005 06:48 AM There's also something to be said for the static nature of encylclopedia-like sources (in addition to the fact that they have editors, which tends to be more of a blessing, I'm sure, than a liability).
		Posted by: joe at January 4, 2005 11:00 AM My biggest problem with wikipedia is not that it is not that it for the most part lacks a sanctified peer review.
		Apart from these two issues, this article is breathtakingly daring in its kicking in of open doors: never trust a single source, as astonishing a revelation as the discovery that many students are inclined to be lazy and naive in their research.

	The Wikipedia Community - Meta
		This covers a majority of the Earth's human population, but it's probably important to remember every once in a while that very, very many people have a stake in the content of the encyclopedia and the direction of the project.
		For those who work on at least 2 wikipedias, this is a fact, rather than a debate.
		One of 24's contributions was that "there is no such "community", and wikipedia is more of a Commodity market" (see Talk).

	On The Wikipedia & Collaborative Editing
		It is of course possible for someone to come along and write that Will Ferrell is in fact the inventor of Parcheesi I will address this point later in the article.
		One thing is that it is always nice to see something featured that I am actively interested in - such as when they featured the character of Link from "The Legend of Zelda" series of games that have been available for almost every game system made by Nintendo.
		There is also a link to Wikinews, a news source which combines other news sources to produce single articles from a neutral point of view.

		It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, and has spawned sister projects, including a dictionary, a library of textbooks, a compendium of quotations, a news site, and a media repository.
		In all, over one hundred articles were contributed in the same second as Jordanhill railway station, as many editors waited anxiously for the opportunity to post the millionth article.

	Wikipedia:Translation into English - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The English article can barely be called a stub-stub, the Italian article is a candidate for featured article (or "displayed article" as Babelfish says, but I think it's the same), even a partial translation would be a huge improvement.
		English article was me trying to give it a place so people might be able to find those lovely commons images.
		Notability on an international scale may indeed be discussable, but can't be measured by occurence in the Latvian wikipedia, as that is, unfortunately, in a lot of its parts a pretty dead affair.

	Distinguishing accents in English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Australian English on the other hand has turned most of the tense vowels into diphthongs, and turned some of what are diphthongs in Received Pronunciation into long vowels, thus replacing the tense-lax distinction (one of quality) with a long-short distinction (one of quantity).
		Scottish English is English spoken with a Scottish accent.
		The standard American English accent is the neutral dialect spoken by TV network announcers and typical of educated speech in the Upper Midwest, Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul and Philadelphia.

	Wikipedia - Uncyclopedia
		To this day, much of the damage has yet to be undone: for instance most of the western half of the country still believes that Pi is equal to seven (which accounts for the strangely shaped wheels on the cars there).
		After the 2004 recruitment of Wikiland dictator Jimbo by the Church of Scientology, one of the overriding goals of Wikiland's thriving Scientologist ragime became the addition of new Scientology-related articles and the revision of existing articles to include the Church's viewpoint.
		These "joke deletions" are a fun activity that users play towards each other- whomever writes the cleverest message gets to delete someone else's article, and the author of said article checks up on it only to find it removed, and promptly dies in various fits of laughter.

	Wikipedia:Tutorial on Old English - Wikipedia
		The verbs that act like twéogan are remnants of class 3 verbs that became class 2 verbs before the written history of Old English.
		Since this declension was so common, it became the basis for the modern English plural -(e)s ending.
		Note that the numeral 1 could decline strong or weak, and in the weak declension, could be plural.

		It may contain articles on just about every conceivable subject; for example, it already has articles for Gibraltar and cities in Finland and Spain as well as the Ten Commandments, a minor English poet, some native tribes of Taiwan, and Group 11 of the table of elements (the "noble metals").
		If you or your Māori-speaking friends could click on a link you know something about and write a couple of Māori sentences, then "Save page" (preferably after a look using "Show preview"), that would be a good start and might inspire others to join in.
		To "fix" the red links on as many pages as possible, find one of the "Most Wanted Articles" and create an article that is currently a "dead-end" link on more than one page.

	Wikipedia Machine Translation Project - Meta
		Small languages can't produce articles as fast as English wikipedia because the number of wikipedians is too low.
		The first step for wikipedia translation is the analysis of wikipedia's content.
		The idea is to semi-automatically create a UNL text from, say, English, then have it fully-automatically translated in up to 150 languages on-the-fly.

	Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		wikipedia has become increasingly controversial as it has gained prominence and popularity, with many critics alleging that wikipedia's open nature makes it unauthoritative and unreliable, that it exhibits severe systemic bias and inconsistency, and that the group dynamics of its community are hindering its goals.
		Some critics have suggested that wikipedia cannot justifiably be called an "encyclopedia", a term which (it is claimed) implies a high degree of reliability and authority that wikipedia, due to its open editorial policies, may not be able to maintain.
		wikipedia won two major awards in May 2004[46]: The first was a Golden Nica for Digital Communities, awarded by Prix Ars Electronica; this came with a 10,000 euro grant and an invitation to present at the PAE Cyberarts Festival in Austria later that year.

		I have no objection to translations from the English but there is a danger that contributers iver reach their lingustic skills ending up with articles that are difficult to understand and also difficult to correct unless one has good knowledge of the subject.
		All the help pages are on the wikipedia namespace rather than the help namespace on the Welsh wicipedia.
