As the Wikipedia policy doesn't allow posting of original research, I was wondering if there could be a seperate wiki for original reasearch. I'm just 13, and I obviously can't get my original research published, but I have done some inventing/research with new results, but not contradictory to known facts and studies. (I created a teaching method for algebra that worked on four out of four preschoolers and I'm creating a more efficient language that is completely regular and logical.) Nobody takes anything I do seriously, though. If there were a wiki for this, I could publish it instantaniously and it could still be edited for errors in inferences and analyses of data, in addition to the validity of the data itself.

MIght this be an appropriate use for http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page? Zoe

Yes, I have thought about this myself. It is definitely an interesting idea, although without some internal approval/rating mechanism the noise level will probably be fairly high, making it harder for valuable ideas to cross media boundaries.
I don't think this is part of the Wikipedia mission, though. I could set up a UseMod wiki for the purpose if you're interested and willing to promote/populate it.

You can publish original research now on
http://www.internet-encyclopedia.info
However that site is little used and I can't promise anyone will ever read it.
In general I wouldn't worry about being 13 years old. If you have done good original material just write it up and submit it to an appropriate forum. Sounds like you are working in education, mathematics and language. Your focus needs to be on your work, not on your age and qualifications. Just submit your material and keep copies. When you have enough self-publish both on the web and as a print on demand book. In other words focus on your work and move forward.
You yourself (and most others) in similar circumstances are generally a poor judge of the significance of your work. Better to error in the direction of moving forward than in the direction of giving up.
As to whether a new wikipedia site should be created, sounds good. The site should allow the signing of original material and for peer review as Internet-Encyclopedia does.

You indeed don't have a chance on the logical language front. People have worked on that problem starting with Leibniz, and hordes of computer scientists/logicians are working on it at all times. You need to know the relevant literature to publish in that field. Nevertheless, you can submit your article to the preprint archive at arxiv.org, mention it on usenet and hope for some constructive feedback.
Math education is very different though. If you have a good idea there, you can publish easily. Write your work up nicely and go to the brightest math teacher at your school, or just pick a random math ed prof at a local college and show up at their office hour. After the first shoots you down, go to the next. There are journals that happily publish undergraduate research.
