Welcome![edit]

Hello, Amandafoort, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Wikipedia Class Project[edit]

As a portion of my class assignment I will be working on the Speech Production wiki page with another class mate . Our goal is to add information that is relevant to the field and contemporary study of speech production and introduce some of the theories and models that explain current knowledge of Speech production as it is accepted in the field of psychology.Amandafoort (talk) 00:19, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Amandafoort I have looked at your sandbox and if I understand your plan correctly, you are making substantive additions to the main article. I don't see any notification of this on the talk page for that article, so people watching it need some warning of your plans. Please go to the talk page and summarize the changes you will make. Importnatly indicate how these additions link to other existing pages. Don't put the new text in the talk page, but you could link to your sandbox if you like. After a day or two, go ahead and make the changes to the main article space. This gives other editors a chance to comment before you make major changes to the page.
In terms of content, I would be very wary about proclaiming any scientific finding a "truth". In Wiki you need to think about every word. Reconsider how to present Fromkin's observations. Also ask yourself who is reading this page. Do not write for me. Does the typical reader know what a morpheme is? would linking to the relevant wiki page help? I like the Aspects of Speech Production Models section,though you must be clear about the source, this can't be your synthesis. Also, are there main pages for some of the specific models? I hope you find these suggestions helpful. Keep up the good work. Marentette (talk) 13:45, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposals for Babbling Article[edit]

Nice selection of articles covering a range of non-English languages. This should strengthen the Babbling article and help fulfill Wiki's mandate for cross-cultural coverage. Can you let me know where you intend to add this to the page? Marentette (talk) 23:54, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]
