  • 20:2020:20, 24 April 2024 diff hist +314 Konya→‎Etymology: Renaming the section since it doesn't contain any factual information about the name's ultimate origin + removing questionable Bronze Age name + adding reliable sources for the actual likely Hittite name + clarifying that the Medusa-related etymology is mythic (per the cited source) current
  • 14:4514:45, 24 April 2024 diff hist +1,624 Talk:Bin Tepe→‎Implementing GA general comments: new section current Tag: New topic
  • 14:4214:42, 24 April 2024 diff hist +564 Bin Tepevarious fixes per talk page current

  • 14:3314:33, 22 April 2024 diff hist −165 Generative grammar→‎Music: Not sure what this would even mean current
  • 14:3214:32, 22 April 2024 diff hist +160 Generative grammarAdding an explanatory caption to the top image
  • 14:2114:21, 22 April 2024 diff hist −1,382 Generative grammarRewriting the lead so that it crisply presents the main ideas (while restoring some text from earlier versions + adding sources)
  • 13:5413:54, 22 April 2024 diff hist +64 Generative grammarPrecision
  • 13:4513:45, 22 April 2024 diff hist −896 Generative grammarAgain, this is a particular analysis rather than a central idea in generative grammar
  • 13:3313:33, 22 April 2024 diff hist −1,729 Generative grammarRemoving essayistic text not backed by the sources (e.g. the Kluender paper doesn't argue against the existence of wh-movement)
  • 13:3013:30, 22 April 2024 diff hist +2 Generative grammarMoving the LLM-inspired criticism from the lead to the article body
  • 13:2913:29, 22 April 2024 diff hist −951 Generative grammarRemoving caption. It's not a commitment of the generative approach that the subject is outside the VP and the object is inside it. (See, e.g. the VP-Internal Subject Hypothesis)
  • 13:1913:19, 22 April 2024 diff hist −158 Generative grammar→‎Evidentiality: Clarifying what these criticisms in particular live (e.g. FOXP2 stuff is only relevant to Chomsky & Berwick-style biolinguistics, not generative approaches to grammar itself)
  • 13:1213:12, 22 April 2024 diff hist −202 Generative grammar→‎Evidentiality: more specific
  • 13:0913:09, 22 April 2024 diff hist +31 Generative grammar→‎Evidentiality: More specific criticism + attributing it to linguists since this is an actual debate within the field itself
  • 13:0713:07, 22 April 2024 diff hist −653 Generative grammar→‎Evidentiality: Not at all in source
  • 13:0613:06, 22 April 2024 diff hist −971 Generative grammar→‎Evidentiality: This reads like an essay and most of it isn't backed by the sources given

18 April 2024

  • 02:1302:13, 18 April 2024 diff hist 0 m Lesbos→‎Prehistory: spelling
  • 01:4401:44, 18 April 2024 diff hist +517 Lesbos→‎Prehistory: Adding a brief mention of its bronze age history, though this will eventually need expansion
  • 01:3701:37, 18 April 2024 diff hist −326 Lesbos→‎Prehistory: Removing questionable info sourced to non-RS
  • 01:3501:35, 18 April 2024 diff hist +567 Lesbos→‎Etymology: Retitling section given the broader content in it + restructuring so that related information goes together + adding sources for the Hittite form of the name which is fairly secure (but is probably not the *origin* of the name and could even be a Hittite rendering of a Greek-origin name)

  • 18:4518:45, 7 April 2024 diff hist +903 List of summer schools of linguisticsUpdating, expanding, and consolidating (though this will eventually need some cleanup and perhaps rethinking as well)

  • 20:5120:51, 30 March 2024 diff hist +519 Talk:Linear A→‎Syllabograms and ideograms: reply current
  • 20:3720:37, 30 March 2024 diff hist +750 Linear A→‎Script: adding simple presentation of script's structural characteristics
  • 20:3620:36, 30 March 2024 diff hist −8 Linear A→‎Proposed languages encoded: retitling subsection
  • 20:3620:36, 30 March 2024 diff hist −13,400 Linear AReducing the discussion of linguistic connections to a brief, terse, well-supported discussion of two non-fringe ideas. I'm being very bold here, so (of course) feel free to revert, but I worry that without in-depth discussion of the evidence, an extended list of "X proposed Y" statements turns into a salt lick for cranks without supplying any useful information
  • 20:2020:20, 30 March 2024 diff hist +1,092 Linear A→‎Proposed languages encoded: adding description of what we can glean about the language
  • 20:1820:18, 30 March 2024 diff hist +3,681 Linear Aan attempt at reconciling a couple different proposals about how to present and contextualize the presumed phonetic values (I'm happy to discuss if anyone objects, and even so I'm sure it could use a polish)
  • 19:5919:59, 30 March 2024 diff hist +49 Lingua (journal)→‎History: rephrasing, in particular to make sure this article isn't taking a stance on the Theseus's Ship-esque dispute in Wikivoice
  • 19:5519:55, 30 March 2024 diff hist +265 Lingua (journal)ref for top paragraph
  • 19:4219:42, 30 March 2024 diff hist 0 m Lingua (journal)→‎History: oops
  • 19:4119:41, 30 March 2024 diff hist +199 Lingua (journal)→‎History: Full formatting for ref
  • 19:3919:39, 30 March 2024 diff hist −78 Lingua (journal)→‎History: This isn't really a source for that claim
  • 19:3819:38, 30 March 2024 diff hist +59 Lingua (journal)I would want a stronger source to present this in wikivoice, but a Language Log post by those two is certainly worth of inclusion with attribution
  • 18:2518:25, 30 March 2024 diff hist +1,607 Linear A→‎Decipherment: adding introductory paragraph about current state of our understanding of LA + adding subsection on barriers to decipherment based on preexisting text
