please change to: "I can only say that I agree with you."

Cümle benim değildi.

if it wasn't your sentence, you shouldn't have adopted it. please leave orphan english sentences to native english speakers, who are more reliable in verifying which orphans are good enough to be adopted, and which aren't.

I disagree, since native English speakers aren't too interested in dealing with orphaned sentences. If someone doesn't trust my competence, it's not my problem as long as I do not actually exceed its limits and adopt an ungrammatical sentence, thus lowering my credibility for real. The idea that non-native speakers can't assess their level of competence correctly and act properly within it is ridiculous, although, to be fair, a fair number of people do tend to misassess their skills overconfidently.

yeah, you have a point. I actually had a small discussion about this once after I had adopted a perfectly grammatical english sentence. of course it is individually possible that a non-native can correctly assess their own competence and the grammaticality of a sentence that is not in their native language, but when you zoom out and look at a bigger, statistical picture, the native-only criterion becomes relatively strong, because it simply has a good accuracy of reducing bad sentences (though not at all 100%, of course, but we're talking about statistics).

you could therefore say that deductively or philosophically, it doesn't make any sense to try to get the ratio of sentences contributed by natives as high as possible, but empirically, it does (which is more or less a paraphrasing of what you said: you cannot say that *generally*, non-natives are unable to make good contributions, but the price you pay for excluding them is not as high as the one you pay for including non-natives who overestimate their competence and harm the corpus with it).

I think the best thing for non-natives is to adopt sentences when they think they are clearly wrong, change them, and then unadopt them again so that it can a) be easily changed again and b) it can still be adopted by a native, so that people like ck can include them in their statistics.

I would therefore also recommend to you, buzulkusu, that you unadopt the sentence, and leave it to be adopted by a native.

Ben buna bakana kadar kimse bununla ilgilenmemiş.

sentence adopted.
