message: I'm glad to see  has been adding substantive descriptions of JBG's research. However, I've left him/her a message reminding of the need for inline references, especially since this is a WP:BLP. EEng (talk) 19:17, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

message: DocJ, where do you get the idea expressed in your edit summary here ? It doesn't look anything like something derived from WP . Am I missing something? EEng (talk) 10:06, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source based on WP? 

message: The selected publication list is much too long. The usual shorter list can emphasize her contributions. I've added her CV to the external links so her publications are available at a click of the mouse and archived it so it won't go away over the years. I've added her most cited publication and will cut the list down.StarryGrandma (talk) 03:53, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Please don't delete entries -- this is already a subset -- but if you want to organize them into groups somehow that would be fine. EEng 04:14, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is much too long. The purpose of a selected publications list is to see how a researcher developed. This one is just a wall of text. It has articles that have been cited one or two times, book reviews, etc. A shorter list will show what she did and when she did it. I linked her CV prominently first so that all her publications could be found easily. StarryGrandma (talk) 05:32, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand what you're trying to do, but given the subject's extensive output, over 50 years, this is a shortened list, developed with the help of experts in the field. Please propose criteria for inclusion/exclusion before going ahead with this. EEng 06:44, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I was working from her impressive page on Google Scholar. With over 120 papers listing over 60 isn't a very small subset. The list as it stands seems weighted toward relatively minor things in more recent years. And each edition of a textbook doesn't need an entry. I'll put my version of the list here on the talk page.

replies: text: Why don't you just start by saying what criteria you plan to apply? Again, I think the most useful thing might be to organize the current set into subsets, like book chapters vs. this vs. that. And if you really think some things should be straight-out dropped, say what the criterion would be for that. EEng 20:15, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

text: Thank you. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I've learned fascinating things doing this sort of improvement over the years. Its one of the things that makes working on Wikipedia so enjoyable. I'll move the list into the article later today. StarryGrandma (talk) 20:03, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Could the Wug Test be given it's own article? I believe it could be, and then be expanded on, especially given how big it's become in linguistics pop culture (including the copyright controversy surrounding it). -- NotCharizard 🗨 17:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: (Repeating, first, my statement elsewhere that JBG's late husband was a friend, and I am occasionally in touch with her.) The thing to do is start expanding here, then see how it goes. I suspect you're overestimating the amount of material that's both available and containing info that would really be informative for our readers. I would think at most a  paragraph on inpopcult, and the same for the intellectual property dispute -- and probably less, depending on sources. We need to be especially cautious about the IP controversy, since we can't be interpreting court filings ourselves, and so much of the commentary out there is linguists, bloggers, and others not really in a position to comment intelligently about a legal dispute. "So-and-so claimed, but this-person disagrees" makes for awful reading, in general. EEng 01:34, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

text: Agree. A Google search for "Jean Berko Gleason" linguistics yields 16,900 results, compared to 51,400 for "wug" linguistics. Widely known in linguistics pop culture, the wug is, imvho, notable enough to warrant its own article separate from its creator. TortillaDePapas (talk) 03:36, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
