redlinks
There are several existing redlinks to this article; Hinton is a recognized authority on language revitalization. She is a key figure in the development of the study of revitalization (which emerged, partly due to her work, as a complement to the study of language death). She collaborated with many other well-known linguists (such as Ken Hale) in codifying practices and documentation of endangered languages. She has also authored key texts, which are widely used in university-level courses, some of which have been translated into other languages for use in other countries. Specifically, The Green Book of Language Revitalization in Practice (ISBN 0123493544), which she co-edited with Hale, is widely cited and considered a standard reference in the field. babbage (talk) 05:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Her father, Sam Hinton
It is customary in Wikipedia to list notable parents, siblings, spouses, and children. In the case of Sam Hinton, Leanne Hinton is listed as a child. In the case of Leanne, Sam is not mentioned at all. Because this is the biography of a LIVING person and i do not know whether the omission of her notable father was intentional or accidental, i have not added it to her page. I simply bring it up here as one who follows the genetics of notable people.

Should anyone know her, i would ask them to seek her out and ask her preference. Another approach would be to add an info-box for her, in which her parents would be named and Sam would be linked.

For the record, my involvement is simply that i admired Sam Hinton as a harp-in-mouth harmonica player who took time to teach me how to do that trick at a folk music workshop at UC Berkeley when i was a teen, way back in the 1960s.
