International Phonetic Alphabet

 * Man, that is one information-dense article. As a person lacking any understanding of the subject matter I had a difficult time making much headway. It did appear that the image placed at the top of the article is duplicated in text further down, so the image looks redundant. It would have been good to have at least a paragraph summary of the history in addition to the article link. Otherwise I'm not quite sure what to suggest in terms of improvements. Sorry. &mdash; RJH 23:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I would add summary of the history (maybe from the lead from the History of the International Phonetic Alphabet article). Other than that, it seems to cover the material well. Cmadler 16:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Even though I am a phonetics aficionado myself, I completely agree with RJH. The article is way too comprehensive and seems to be more focused on appealing to the wikilinguists than a general readership. I would also still recommend that the table be reverted back to imitation of the official IPA layout. The reference inventory needs to be looked over as well. It's quite questionable if all them are actually relevant to the article. / Peter Isotalo 11:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
