Talk:Mesoamerican language area

New article
I added this page today. I would like to integrate it into the project mesoamerica but don't know how. Also I would appreciate if someone looked it through and expanded it. --Maunus 18:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks, Maunus, this looks to be a really good start. To integrate an article into the scope of WikiProject Mesoamerica, you simply need to add the Project's banner template WP Mesoamerica to the top of the article's talk page. Assessments could also be marked at that time by use of the template's class and importance parameters, see this page for guideline instructions on the parameter values and assessment criteria. Or alternatively, these can be omitted and the article will be marked as 'unassessed', one of the project members will come along later to assess it.--cjllw | TALK  02:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

move
already moved by kwami. --regentspark (comment) 20:50, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Mesoamerican Language Area → Mesoamerican language area – per MOS:CAPS and other language-area articles. — kwami (talk) 16:34, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * But you just moved it here? Why didn't you just move it to the non-cap title right away? Or leave it where it was, since there's not really any compelling evidence that "langauge area" is more commonly used than "linguistic area", and standardization in itself isn't a reason. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:51, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Suggestion to expand the article
As it stands this article is good as far as it goes but it is just a summary of the seminal Campbell et al. article it references. I think it would be worth adding a section explaining how the theory has been received by subsequent scholars, to what extent it is currently accepted, and what criticism it has received, or objections have been made, what discussions it has given rise to if any, or other proposals have been considered. Perhaps this could all go into a section titled "Criticism". A R King (talk) 23:10, 23 January 2018 (UTC) E.g. Suárez (1983) disputed the position held by Campbell et al. on pp. 159ff.
