Dear Subscribers, 
 
Thank you for your continued responses to The LINGUIST List calls to update 
articles on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a popular source of information for 
the general public and young students. The information displayed there 
reaches a wide audience (including future linguists!), so it is good to 
have the field represented thoroughly and accurately. 
 
In the past 3 weeks, you have collectively: 
 
-Updated sections of "History of the Spanish language": 
Dr. Lee Hartman, Carbondale, IL 
 
-Written a new article on Scott Kiesling: 
Chad D. Nilep, University of Colorado at Boulder 
 
-Linked more linguists' biographies to the "List of Linguists" and 
nominated several more for biographic articles or article expansions. 
 
-Volunteered to monitor a variety of pages on linguistics and language topics. 
 
We are grateful for those who have contributed so far. You can see these 
efforts in the activities log of LINGUIST's Wikipedia Update Project, found 
here:

This week we turn your attention to a list of Wikipedia articles that have 
been flagged by Wikipedia editors as "stubs." Stubs are brief articles 
that cover the basics of a topic but are in need of more details to be 
considered full articles. Here are 3 lists of stubs in some linguistics 
subfields. You might be surprised at what you find there: 
 
Morphology 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linguistic_morphology_stubs 
 
Phonetics 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Phonetics_stubs 
 
Syntax 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Syntax_stubs 
 
As always, Wikipedia allows anyone to update their pages. If you see an 
article lacking important information, please feel free to click on the 
link "Edit this article" at the top of the screen. After you have typed in 
your changes and saved them, the new text will become immediately available 
to other online readers. As you write and edit, please keep in mind 
Wikipedia's guidelines:

activities. We would like to announce your contribution to the project! I 
look forward to hearing from you. 
 
Sincerely,
