Welcome! edit

Hello, Mar ling2016, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Linguistic Typology edit

Hi, I see that you have chosen this article for your class assignment. I have to warn you, that's a very tough assignment! WP has strict policies about sourcing of material in articles (see WP:V, WP:RS, WP:OR, and WP:SYNTH) and, unfortunately, it is extremely rare that good sources exist on an academic journal. I haven't looked for sources on this particular journal, but I'd be amazed if there were much. Our journal article writing guide ha some suggestions on how to expand an article on an academic journal, but it looks to me like most of that advice has already been applied to this article (as far as possible). Good luck! --Randykitty (talk) 10:19, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
