Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: You published this page without any independent sources where these are far more important than primary sources and sources too closely related to the subject. As it was there was no indication of the importance of the subject. I have added independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject in order to get it over the line..

from the subject[edit]

Hello, First, thank you to whoever wrote a page about me. I am hono(u)red! I don't think I can/should edit my own page, but I thought I'd point out a couple of little errors.

1. In two places it says I've written 5 books. More accurately, I have written or co-written them. (Antonyms in English and Key Terms in Semantics are co-authored.) 2. I spoke at the Boring Conference in 2016, not 2019 (the footnote is correct).

And I'd probably also just point out that in my academic writing, I publish as 'M. Lynne Murphy'. The initial is left off when I do more popular-audience-style writing.

Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lynneguist1 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
