Which to boot out? (Linguistics)

Struck through = done John Stephenson

As you can see, as of 27th October there are 5 too many in the linguistics lists. Which should be rejected? I think that individual languages and language families are less important, unless for some reason they are notable. I propose removing:

What do you think? Individual languages that I added I did so because they are widely spoken (e.g. Bengali and Javanese). John Stephenson 08:16, 27 October 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, I added the language families using size as a criterion (i.e., number of languages in family), but I agree that a lot of them should go. Good call. I'm really glad that we've got a full list now! Joshua M. Jensen 09:37, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
By the way, I just changed Linguistics to Stage 3. There's no question in my mind that it meets the definition of "most or all". Joshua M. Jensen 09:39, 27 October 2007 (CDT)
I have removed the above links. Unless others wish to get involved - I'll put a last call out - it would be okay for Chris Day to consider locking the page.
I'm sure we've missed things out, though, or could argue forever about the 99... John Stephenson 00:04, 29 October 2007 (CDT)
John, i don't think we can ever get to a perfect list. It's a pretty subjective task. We can always create another list when we have finished our first 99 :) As far as locking the page, I can't do that other wise the other subjects canot edit, but we can always undo future changes. Chris Day (talk) 00:21, 29 October 2007 (CDT)
Whoops - sorry, I know you don't lock the pages. I should have added 'in' to conform with stages of development - i.e. you 'lock in' the list. John Stephenson 02:25, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

Additions & Changes (linguistics)

Before we close the door to changes on the list, can we gather a few more ideas here? I've given it a start. Joshua M. Jensen 12:47, 29 October 2007 (CDT)

POSSIBLE ADDITIONS

POSSIBLE DELETIONS

POSSIBLE POINTS CHANGES

More phonology I can go with. :-) LSA, though... I know it's a big association, but it might imply we should also add articles on e.g. the Linguistics Association of Great Britain.

Psychology

I've changed one of the headings under Psychology from "Already written articles" to "Articles with minor content". The articles previously tagged "Already written" are simply not written. They contain limited content, by and large contributed by a single editor, and the information there, in addition to being unreferenced, is poorly presented. No offense, RP, but you are a third year psych student, and the content reads like it...and, to qualify, that comment is made in the best of faith and speaking as a university professor.

This content area needs some serious help. I am only one person with a huge amount of stuff on my plate outside of CZ, with interest and expertise in a more than this single content area. I will sally forth, and am hopeful that some of you, you included RP, will join in.
