Revision as of 01:26, 6 October 2007

I am a linguist specialising in acquisition of second language phonology and comprehension-based language learning. Following a BA in linguistics (Manchester) and an MA in language acquisition (Durham), I lectured part-time at the universities of York and Durham in the UK. Currently I teach linguistics and English at Mie University in Japan.

Constabulary

Since 1st August 2007 I have been a 'constable' on Citizendium - an administrator or 'sysop' who helps out in cases such as behavioural disputes, pages to be deleted, and applications to be approved. To get help with these sorts of problems it is best to email constables@citizendium.org in the first instance, but where I am involved, feel free to contact me. I'm in Japan, so am more likely to be on-line between about 0200 and 0900 UTC (GMT), which is 2100-0400 EST.

Note that constables who are also significant contributors to an article can't intervene in a dispute about it, nor adjudicate in any case where they are personally involved, so for articles I've edited or discussed content, another constable is necessary.

Getting around and maintaining Citizendium

I make use of the workgroup boxes (see below) to navigate around Citizendium, as well as the links in the left menu. I recommend the 'toolbox', particularly 'Special Pages'. This brings you to a list of things in much need of maintenance, such as uncategorized pages. I've found that people creating inappropriate articles can get their work on the wiki for some time by not categorising articles so they don't show up in workgroup lists and other CZ groupings, such as 'internal articles'.

Citizendium contributions
