Talk:Conlanger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don't you see it as a problem that this is a word only used by the very small community of atrificial language makers?
[edit] Removal of Unpublished Conlangers
I disagree with Weyes' decision to remove all of the unpublished conlangers from the article. Some, certainly, are not terribly notable, but inasmuch as, for example, Mark Rosenfelder is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article on him, and on his major conlang (Verdurian), I think he ought to be mentioned here. Henning is also certainly notable, and Langmaker is known by nearly every conlanger who uses the web, I should think. If no one else, it is my opinion that these two at least should at the very least be mentioned; they're well-known enough in the conlanger community to merit mention. I'd like to know what other people think, though, so any comments? --Whimemsz 19:14, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
- You have a point. Rosenfelder is notable. So is Rick Morneau, whose "Essays on Artificial Langauge Design" are frequently cited by conlangers. It'll require a bit of vigilance, though, to keep people from just adding themselves or their friends. — Gwalla | Talk 22:21, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge?
Should this article be merged with constructed language? It seems short enough, and inseparable from the topic. -Branddobbe 22:18, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, this is really completely tied with conlangs themselves, so this article seems fairly pointless. However, we might want to just rename the article "List of Notable Conlangers" or something to that effect. --Whimemsz 22:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- All right. That would be a pretty short list, but then so is List of fictional U.S. states, which I started and which I think is vital to human existence.

- Hey, aren't you on the Zompist bulletin board? I'm GreenBowTie there. It figures this is where we'd meet. -Branddobbe 01:14, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Reverend William Fulco
Um, "construct" and "reconstruct" are two different ideas. Why is Fulco considered a conlanger? Savatar 21:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
