I've been lurking around for quite a while and I thought I should finally contribute. When I wrote the new '''Perl''' page, I tried to eliminate all wording from the original stump that could be construed as originating from WP (sorry, now we'll never know what the "arbitrary limitations" are ;) ). I actually have one advantage: since I currently live in China, it is '''very''' awkward to read WP (you need to use proxies because of the "Great Firewall") *) so I wasn't even tempted to copy anything from them.

I'd like to import the "good article" version of wikipedia's Perl entry. Is there an efficient way of importing articles from there? or do I have to copy/paste the source? --Joey Kelly

Unfortunately, no, there isn't. See: CZ:How to convert Wikipedia articles to Citizendium articles, which I am about to fix up as there seems to be a demand for it... --Larry Sanger 16:58, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Now I'm really curious what "the arbitrary limitations of many scripting languages at the time" were. Really. --Markus Baumeister 16:41, 7 March 2007 (CST)
