Absence
I have taken a long(ish) break from Citizendium, not because of any problems I've experienced, but just because I'm 'CZ-ed' out as it were, and off-line life is a-calling. I may well return next year. John Stephenson 18:41, 10 November 2007 (CST)
Awww.....
Well, fair enough, but the parties won't be the same without you. Come back to us soon, okay? Aleta Curry 01:46, 5 December 2007 (CST)
Welcome back!
Good to have you back, or at least not inactive, as you say! --Larry Sanger 20:57, 13 February 2008 (CST)
Thanks!
Thank you Larry and Aleta! I'll be dipping my toes back in the water here and there... John Stephenson 21:00, 13 February 2008 (CST)
Hey!
Wonderful to see you around. :-) Stephen Ewen 21:12, 13 February 2008 (CST)
CZ International
Hi! I’m just letting people who have expressed an interest in CZ International know that there is now a proposal on the table.
Please discuss its feasibility at: CZ:Proposals/Internationalisation sandbox in the Discussion area.
Feel free to help develop the proposal, as well.
We'll also need "drivers".
If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, please refer to: CZ:Proposals/New and CZ:Proposals

Varieties of English
Hello, I have a pedagogical piece called 'British & American English' which lists the differences in spelling & pronunciation. If you've seen my stuff you'll know the sort of thing. I was wondering if you could advise me on where exactly to place it. I could produce a second, AmE to BrE, version & append the two to your articles; or I could make it a separate article, but then there arises the problem of what to call it. 'Varieties of English'? But you seem to be the expert on that subject. Please advise. Ro Thorpe 18:38, 13 March 2008 (CDT)
Barack
Sorry - didn't see you altered it. But my version is what the Americans on CNN all say. The Brits tend to your version, I agree, or they just say 'Barrack', but I think we should have it as the man says it.
Thanks for your note, by the way: I'm thinking about it. Ro Thorpe 13:18, 17 March 2008 (CDT)
- Hi - see Talk:Barack Obama#Pronunciation of 'Barack'. John Stephenson 02:25, 18 March 2008 (CDT)
Differences between British and American English
or some such, as you suggest, seems to be the best option, as I have quite a lot of stuff, but only on those varieties. I'm going to ask around about the best title. Thanks for the advice. Ro Thorpe 18:43, 17 March 2008 (CDT)
Your proposal on Romanization
Hello. The proposal record for "Romanization", for which you are listed as driver, says that the current step (to develop proposal page and request feedback from other contributors) was due to be completed 11 March. Could you please update the proposal record on CZ:Proposals/Ad hoc, changing your self-imposed deadline and perhaps the next step? If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. -- The Proposals Manager, Jitse Niesen 09:47, 18 March 2008 (CDT)
Wales
I reverted the changes, asking for the author to explain his objections and discuss them on the Talk page first. Thanks for the info, Martin Baldwin-Edwards 17:44, 31 March 2008 (CDT)
subpagination
Hello John, I hope my see also explaination made sense. If not, feel free to add them back in. The subpagination business is much easier than it used to be, and so it literally takes no more than 60 seconds to do it. Give the system a go if you haven't tried doing it in awhile. David E. Volk 08:26, 22 April 2008 (CDT)
Romanization
I have changed the CZ:Proposals/Ad_hoc#Romanization next step and target date as it is likely to be resolved by May 02, 2008. Supten Sarbadhikari 00:14, 28 April 2008 (CDT)
