Jeff, Do you still have copies of the Wikipedia entry that were deleted?
I’m planning to make one for the spanish wikipedia, but it will take time because not even pimsleur nor rossetta nor livemocha… etc have an entry. So I’ll have to practice and make those first!. I’ll let you know when I succeed.
I have only edited a few small things in articles so first is to figure out how to make one from scratch.
The articles on the Dutch wikipedia will also be deleted shortly. Oh well.
Oh yes, I have copies as of last night.
It seems as if they’re particularly sceptic to first-time writers, and their claim that the topics don’t have much coverage on the web…, have they tried Google?
Can you post a copy of what you said. I am curious.
LingQ är ett community och en språkinlärningsmetod [1], lanserad 2007 av kanadensaren Steve Kaufmann. Webbplatsen är just nu tillgänglig på och för flera språk, inklusive svenska.
Metod
Metoden bygger dels på Steve Kaufmanns egna erfarenheter som har gett honom kunskaper i elva språk, dels på inflytandet från två moderna lingvister - Stephen Krashen och Ivan Illitch.
Utifrån sin egen nivå väljs lektioner som finns i LingQ-biblioteket. De obekanta orden kan slås upp via en online-ordlista, sparas i sin egen personliga ordlista och till sist studeras närmare genom s.k. flashcards. Dessa ord förblir också markerade i samtliga texter ända tills man har lärt sig dem. Till varje text kommer en ljudfil i mp3-format.
Det går också att ladda upp texter och ljudfiler som andra medlemmar kan ta del av.
Man kan boka tid för samtal med en modersmålstalande via Skype och skicka in egna texter för rättning.
De språk som systemet hittills erbjuder är svenska, engelska, spanska, kinesiska, franska, japanska, portugisiska, ryska, tyska och italienska. Fler språk är under uppbyggnad.
Till communityt hör också ett forum där medlemmarna använder sina nyförvärvade språkkunskaper.

But hey, we’re not the only ones being deleted… http://www.andrewlih.com/blog/2007/07/10/unwanted-new-articles-in-wikipedia/
Here’s a quote from that blog post that Jeff linked to that Steve would probably agree with:
It’s as if there is a Soup Nazi culture now in Wikipedia. There are throngs of deletion happy users, like grumpy old gatekeepers, tossing out customers and articles if they don’t comply to some new prickly hard-nosed standard. It used to be if an article was short, someone would add to it. If there was spam, someone would remove it. If facts were questionable, someone would research it. The beauty of Wikipedia was the human factor — reasonable people interacting and collaborating, building off each other’s work. It was important to start stuff, even if it wasn’t complete. Assume good faith, neutral point of view and if it’s not right, {{sofixit}}. Things would grow.
