[edit] Second Language Acquisition

Text dump of a research paper. (Possible copyvio.) Delete. - 84.42.148.115 14:35, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I just added my own text to start this page. I thought it would be a helpful start to building up a knowledge page about second language acquisition and I have referenced everything properly. I'm new to Wikipedia, and just wanted to make a helpful contribution, if there are revisions I need to make, please let me know without simply deleting the whole lot! C Fielder

• C Fielder please check out Wikipedia:How_to_write_a_great_article on what a really good, useful article contains and also WP:SR for short rules about formatting/editing. Your contributions are certainly welcomed here and it seems you have done some great research and are interested in a very interesting topic, now you just need to get them to conform to the established Wikipedia rules.

• Comment Suggest you create an account (only takes a minute) and then you can put this on your user page and work on it at your leisure. When it's ready, create a new article. Dlyons493 Talk 20:32, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

OK, so I have to change some stuff on my user page before I can put the article on wikipedia? Any practical suggestions with whats wrong with it? CF

• It would probably be best to discuss the matter elsewhere, but the most obvious point is that Second language acquisition already exists. Before you start writing a new article, it's a good idea to check whether there is already an article on the same subject. TheMadBaron 19:51, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. (If anyone cares, there's a copy of this at User:Mga/Second Language Acquisition. Complete with a redlinked afd stuck to it. Hates that, hates that I does.) —Cryptic (talk) 04:43, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, author can add any new information to Second language acquisition that he/she feels is missing. No need to redirect, it's the same name just with different capitalization -Andrew 03:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
