Hi - as far as I know, Citizendium is an English-only wiki at the moment so you're not supposed to upload articles in a language wot ain't English. This hasn't stopped people doing this, of course. I suggest for now that you work in English on pages like [[Cherokee language]], either from scratch or by [http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki/Citizendium_Pilot:How_to_convert_Wikipedia_articles_to_Citizendium_articles uploading and editing] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee_language Wikipedia version]. And welcome to the wiki.

:John is correct. Although I can appreciate the hard work that must have gone into the Cherokee language articles, and can imagine how they would benefit Cherokee speakers, they regrettably cannot be uploaded at this point. As discussed [http://www.citizendium.org/faq.html#international at the FAQ], the Citizendium Pilot cannot yet be in languages other than English. This is largely do to simple practical considerations, such as server space, funding, and personnel. However, please don't lose heart or patience. The public launch is soon forthcoming. At some point after it, I would encourage you to lobby for a Cherokee language Citizendium. Regards, [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 00:40, 2 March 2007 (CST) | |||

Cherokee Language Article
Hi - as far as I know, Citizendium is an English-only wiki at the moment so you're not supposed to upload articles in a language wot ain't English. This hasn't stopped people doing this, of course. I suggest for now that you work in English on pages like Cherokee language, either from scratch or by uploading and editing the Wikipedia version. And welcome to the wiki.

- John is correct. Although I can appreciate the hard work that must have gone into the Cherokee language articles, and can imagine how they would benefit Cherokee speakers, they regrettably cannot be uploaded at this point. As discussed at the FAQ, the Citizendium Pilot cannot yet be in languages other than English. This is largely do to simple practical considerations, such as server space, funding, and personnel. However, please don't lose heart or patience. The public launch is soon forthcoming. At some point after it, I would encourage you to lobby for a Cherokee language Citizendium.
