I felt the need to update this page since there was pretty much no information on Andrew Foster.

For now this biographic article is complete until new source can be add. Until backlog articles on deafness can be address, this will be revisit. See WP:DEAF D. Richard 23:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

He was awarded an honorary doctorate for having five children? — kwami (talk) 07:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Article Revisit
Hello,

I am thankful this article was started! To add more substance to this, it would be great if we could find more scholarly sources to support the information. There also might be copyright/plagiarism issues regarding the second reference. Once there are more reputable sources, a clean up would be beneficial as the intro and contents do not seem to have the user experience in mind. Does anyone know if there is a possibility that we can find information on Andrew Foster that may be in the public domain? Also, does anyone know if his son, Andrew Foster Jr., is still alive? He is used as a reference on one of the external links.

Birth date
I noticed that different sources mention different birth dates. Runnels (2017), for example, mentions both 1925 and 1927, the Gallaudet website linked (https://www.gallaudet.edu/about/history-and-traditions/andrew-foster) mentions 1925, Nyst (2010) (Sign Languages in West Africa, in: Sign languages: a Cambridge Language Survey) mentions 1927. Maybe someone has more information about this. Falott (talk) 09:56, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
