Communication accommodation theory

Hi Gesund, and thank you for your great contributions at our article Communication accommodation theory! Your help is very much appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions about editing Wikipedia or about linguistics articles, and I'll be glad to help. Also, I noticed that you had a draft of that article on this talk page. I've taken the liberty of moving it over to User:Gesund/Communication accommodation theory - this page is usually used for messages from other users, like this one, so you'd probably find that your draft would get cluttered up with other messages. At the new page there won't be any danger of that happening, so you will be free to work on it as you wish. Feel free to undo this move if you want - it's your user talk after all, not mine. Again, let me know if you have any questions. All the best — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 04:59, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Communication accommodation theory page feedback

Like I mentioned in class last week, there are plenty of opportunities for increasing links to other wikipedia articles; here are a few that jumped out at me:

although in an article as long as this there are plenty of other opportunities as well.

There are some strange unlinked footnotes in the Convergence section.

The References section has very uneven formatting; try getting them all into a bulleted list by preceding each line with an asterisk.

Wikipedia Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,
