[WikiEN-l] original research on wikipedia

[Fred Bauder]

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.
