Great to see an expertly written article on an academic topic, instead of the usual pop culture stuff that dominates DYK. This article is probably GA quality, although a few places need citations, which I've tagged in the article. Also, I could not locate the info about the doubling of the vowels in Headley 1998. Could you add a ref directly after the sentence in the article (as per DYK requirements)? -Zanhe (talk) 05:39, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking the time to review the article and for the kind words. I've supplied the citations you requested, including two (for good measure) for the fact in the hook. Headly (1998) only implies it in his tables so I've cited Wayland & Jongman, who state it outright in their conclusion, and Jenner (1976) who mentions it in passing. Let me know if you have any other concerns. I'd be happy to address them. Cheers!--William Thweatt TalkContribs 12:42, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
