• My recent Citizendium edits - look here to see what I've been working on (or just see if I know what I'm talking about). I am mostly responsible for the original information on many of the Linguistics Workgroup pages, and have also been trying to get linguists and departments to link to Linguistics.
• My userplan.

• Articles I've created:

Linguistics Syllable Language acquisition Semantics (linguistics) English language British English American English Canadian English Varieties of English Comprehension approach British Association for Applied Linguistics LESLLA Sue Savage-Rumbaugh sourced from Wikipedia, but much originally mine Contact language Comparative linguistics Romansh language Grammar Sign language Welsh language Jamaican creole Noun class Written language Linguistics template New material: Creolistics Martha Young-Scholten Fossilization (language acquisition) Cranberry word Languages of the United States of America language acquisition template Politics: Members' Lobby Tony Blair Gordon Brown Alistair Darling Leader of the Opposition (UK) David Cameron Capital Mahmoud Ahmadinejad New material: Pseudostate Association of Electoral Administrators Imported from Wikipedia: Japanese English renamed from the Wikipedia original England Scarborough York Naples Craig Charles Norman Lovett Danny John-Jules Red dwarf (star) Culture of Japan Stephen Krashen Phonology of Irish Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh Cargo cult Reading Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Douglas Adams Doctor Who: new and 'classic' split into two articles

• Articles which I intend to make a significant contribution to include Linguistics, Language, Second language acquisition, Monitor Theory, the Critical Period Hypothesis, Applied linguistics, Phonology, Phonetics, Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Japan, Japanese language, Irish language, Creole language and Singapore English. I rewrote the German language page, but don't intend to go back to it much. I also restarted the abortion article, and wrote most of the early versions of spoken language. As for Japanese popular culture, I started that using bits written by other people and myself elsewhere.
