Re: Geoffrey Nunberg: When creating stubs, please try to include a little bit more context so that the stub can be expanded by someone else. I see you're new, though, so: Welcome!

[edit] Stubs

Your instincts are quite right, Ph7five, and adding a stub template and category is absolutely the right thing to do. The only thing I would suggest beyond what you're doing is to include a complete sentences or two with some context: the person's name in bold (by writing '''linguist's name'''), profession, maybe where they teach, perhaps a book title or two (as you've done) and preferably why the person or the book matters: "She is influential in the field of cognitive psychophonetics" or whatever. See the section "Ideal stub article" at Wikipedia:Stub for more information. Again, your instincts are great. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Chick Bowen 00:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

P.S. I've already gotten Geoffrey Nunberg started in that direction. Chick Bowen 00:53, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
