Talk:Geoffrey Nunberg/@comment-5545747-20120924231234

The wiki page of Geoffrey Nunberg is a well rounded wiki. The page reads easily and still manages to present all of the information necessary to give a complete picture of Geoffrey Nunberg’s life to date. One aspect that stood out to me in the post was the accuracy of the sources which were provided. Each went to information related to the topics which they were citing. The number of sources also added to the validity of the wiki. The one aspect of the wiki that was lacking was the early life section. While it seems like there is not much information available about Nunberg’s early life it would have been nice to have more information presented there. It would be possible to list information about what colleges and universities he attended by possibility checking with the University that he currently works. They might have information available on his early education. I enjoyed all of the detailed about Nunberg’s work with Xerox and his current employment at UC Berkeley. The importance of the work the Nunberg did at Xerox and is currently doing at UC Berkeley is covered in several sections of the wiki. The application section also focuses on the importance and application of his linguistics work with information technology. One fact I found interesting about Nunberg that was brought up was that he was brought in as an expert in linguistics in the legal case of the American Indians v. The Washington Redskins. The full listing Nunberg’s published works goes along with his list of awards and recognitions to provide the reader with a direction to look if they wish to gain more information on Nunberg or his works. Overall it is a great wiki that serves its purpose of presenting an accurate portrait of Geoffrey Nunberg.
