Attention Esller
I disagree with your position on accent reduction entry. I do not consider the insertion of section on Free and For pay accent reduction resources to be spamming. If you feel it to be so please state your reasons rather than accuse me of spamming.
Additionally, the entry about Kathleen S. Dunn is no different than the entries I inserted about AccentSchool and Pronunciation Patterns. As a matter of fact I hope to build a list of all online Accent Reduction resources available and insert them into this article. There is probably about a dozen of accent reduction sites as well as 10-20 well known accent reduction practioners. It is probably a good idea to list them all. If you know the contact info feel free to add.
Additionally, you may decide that examples are irrelevant in such an article -- in this case please feel free to remove ALL examples (including Kathleen S. Dunn).
Thank you
P.S. I am not AccentSchool employee, just someone who found the site helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.106.6 (talk) 04:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long to reply back. I think the article is progressing ok - there are some citations now. I would suggest that you add some web links so that interested users can find the relevant article/web pages immediately. I don't know much about it, but one thing that seems missing is any kind of fundamental theory behind accent reduction - what are the basic techniques, why do they work, are they effective? The article needs to present both sides if there is a genuine controversy in the field, and reference appropriate. Regarding Ms Dunn, I don't see why she deserves special mention. If there's something uniquely special about her, then provide some references to back that up, otherwise it does seem out of place in a general encyclopedia to specifically pinpoint the work of one particular person. enochlau (talk) 13:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
