I have proposed Language Reviews site on area51 - site for language learners wanting to get feedback on their language usage from experts, native speakers. Code Review for natural texts.

If you are interested in practicing foreign language and think that such a site is a good fit for Stackexchange network then, please, follow the proposal on area51. Thanks!

Jan 8	comment	How many hours per day did a Sumerian farmer sleep? `electric lighting resulted in people staying active after dark`, `it was too dark to work, and slept` What about using firelight? Firelight is not suitable for industry and field jobs, but craftsmen and peasants could stay effective after sunset. Am I understanding this correctly?
Jan 8	comment	Is there any country where the founder of the nation is no longer respected? And in case we accept political reformators, Hitler makes much better example as a "founder" of Third Reich
Jan 8	comment	Is there any country where the founder of the nation is no longer respected? Russia was one of the soviet republics. Yeltsin signed the agreement of USSR dissolution. At the moment of signing, he was already a president of Russia. Yeltsin certainly was a leader of political reforms, but I wouldn't call him a "founder" of modern Russia.
Jan 8	comment	Is there any country where the founder of the nation is no longer respected? Legacy of every historical figure may be questioned. I don't think that Ataturk is widely disrespected in Turkey. Could you give some references?
Nov 29	comment	What was the reason for the Nazis to support various ethnic minorities over the majority populations? examples and references on `scanty or improvised ethnic groups` would be appreciated.
Nov 29	comment	What was the reason for the Nazis to support various ethnic minorities over the majority populations? @Anixx that only means that Tsar army also used ethnic separation. By analogy, Cossacks and Russians were frequently used to suppress rebellion among Turks.
Nov 29	comment	What was the reason for the Nazis to support various ethnic minorities over the majority populations? ethnic/racial separation is one of the typical aspects of Nazi policies. So, is it really suprising that Nazis tended to separate different ethnic groups?
Nov 29	comment	What was the reason for the Nazis to support various ethnic minorities over the majority populations? Question is too broad IMHO. You've managed to mention 13 different social/ethnic groups. That leads to the number of open-ended statements. Is there any chance that you would concentrate on specific privileges gained by specific ethnic groups?
Nov 29	comment	What was the reason for the Nazis to support various ethnic minorities over the majority populations? `they supported %ETHNOSNAME% against %ANOTHERETHNOSNAME%` What does it really mean? Can you add some references to support statements like this?

Oct 5	comment	Why doesn't Russia maintain significant numbers of Aircraft carriers? I thought that Luke's first comment points to first part of an answer. +1 for the seabourne trade, but factor of expenses seems to be irrelevant.
Sep 24	comment	Which nations have armed prisoners and sent them to war? @Anixx, it's interesting. Could you provide some links?

Sep 21	comment	Which nations have armed prisoners and sent them to war? +1 for categorization. But `criminals are aggressive people suited to war` line sounds weird for me. Regular army assumes discipline and organization. I think personal aggressiveness is a negative factor here.

Aug 16	comment	Was there a noble cause to Genghis Khan's campaign? How could we define "nobility" of motivation? From the mainstream point of view of 13th century conquering extremely large areas of land is itself noble.
Jul 27	comment	Why some monarchs are sent to exile after a country is declared a republic? Also, there are examples of constitutional monarchy in, for example, Britain, Spain and Sweden. The direct causes of monarch's exile (Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany) or killing (Nicholas II of Russia) seem to depend on a specific situation.
Jul 27	comment	Why some monarchs are sent to exile after a country is declared a republic? Before overturn monarchy is a suppressing power for revolution forces. After overturn monarch automatically becomes the symbol/leader of monarchical opposition and, thus, a danger to brand-new political forces.
