I've listed this article for peer review because I feel this article could do some help with experts or users with good knowledge in this area of Internet Linguistics, clearing up any possible misinformation or possible biases in the way statements are made.

I don't have time or a full peer review, but here are some things I noticed:

The whole article needs to be restructured in a more logical fashion. Right now it seems disorganized. Particularly, I don't see the purpose of a section like "further dimensions of Internet linguistics"—what does that actually mean, and how is it different than the other content of the article? Clearly defining the issues you want to discuss will help organize the article better.

Done Thanks Rjanag for your pointers. The structure of the article are as follow: After the lead section, the 4 perspectives of Internet linguistics (as put forth by David Crystal) serves as an overview of the main aspects of which Internet linguistics could be looked at. After that, other major issues of Internet linguistics are explored. The sub-section "further dimensions of Internet linguistics" has been renamed as "Dimensions of Internet linguistics," (would appreciate if you would have any other suggestions for the title) in which other main related issues are explored, namely the Web as a corpus, Language identification and normalization, and the impact of its spread and influence through mass media and literary work. Finally it concludes with the linguistic future of the Internet. Lai eric (talk) 16:44, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The only section I read, "The multilingual Web", doesn't make sense. Frankly, I can't tell what it's supposed to be about; what is the main idea of this section? Its second paragraph just randomly describes the results of what I assume was some study, without making any attempt to contextualize it or explain its significance.

Done The section under "The multilingual Web" primarily seek to inform readers of the significant size of the web as a corpus, not just the massive amount of data available for a single language alone, but also the data of a huge array of languages that are available through the Web. A more detailed explanation of the significance of the study cited has been included. Lai eric (talk) 16:44, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article shouldn't be at PR and GAN at once. Please choose one or the other instead of spamming the projects. Thanks.

Done Noted, we will list it in only one at once. The reason why we list in under peer review is because there wasn't any responses in the GAN page. Thanks for pointing that out to us. We are very grateful for your kind feedbacks and reviews. Lai eric (talk) 17:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, for anyone else reading this, just FYI, this article is being edited as part of a school project: Wikipedia:School and university projects/NTU HG252 Language, Technology and the Internet/Completed assignments. rʨanaɢ (talk) 14:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
