18 September 2011
- 15:5315:53, 18 September 2011 diff hist +1 Verbal Behavior noted -> argued (Adelman doesn't actually identify any serious misquotations or misrepresentations)

- 13:1013:10, 19 August 2011 diff hist +508 Talk:Noam Chomsky →Criticism
- 13:0813:08, 19 August 2011 diff hist −915 Noam Chomsky →Criticisms of Chomsky's views about language: Not sure why this section has been left in the article. It's unreferences, not very coherent, and doesn't even mention the most notable critics/criticisms.
25 March 2011
- 22:2422:24, 25 March 2011 diff hist −2,520 Poverty of the stimulus →Against the argument: This argument is not cited and is simply false. The issue of choosing structure-dependent vs. non-structure-dependent rules has nothing to do with Chomsky's particular theory.
27 February 2011
- 21:3321:33, 27 February 2011 diff hist −40 Pirahã people It's not clear what this is supposed to mean -- all living languages are unique among living languages.
- 21:3021:30, 27 February 2011 diff hist −9 Pirahã people →Language: CH&F are clearly not claiming that **only** human language have recursion!
6 August 2010
- 19:5319:53, 6 August 2010 diff hist −799 Bertrand Russell →Later life: This quote is out of context. Russell is here "speculating as to possible future developments of those [scientific societies] that are oligarchies." He is not advocating this.
24 January 2010
- 23:5623:56, 24 January 2010 diff hist +234 Linguistic competence Competence is explicitly **not** an ability -- it's knowledge. One can have the knowledge without the corresponding abilities, as Chomsky has explicity argued a number of times

- 23:4723:47, 24 January 2010 diff hist −172 Linguistic competence The idealization to an "ideal speaker-listener" is one that Chomsky makes in Aspects for the purposes of studying language acquisition. Also, Chomsky does not idealize away from individual variation.

7 October 2009
- 17:0017:00, 7 October 2009 diff hist −106 The Origin of Love (song) →The song: There is nothing "excentric" about this (many dialects of English use "was" in this way). Non-standard dialects are common enough in rock songs not to be worth special mention
11 September 2009
- 14:0314:03, 11 September 2009 diff hist −84 African-American English rv racist stereotyping
20 August 2009
- 01:2701:27, 20 August 2009 diff hist −13 Amnesty International This is US-centric and unnecessary (no-one writes "New York, USA")
18 August 2009
- 14:3914:39, 18 August 2009 diff hist −13 Peter Andre This is US-centric. You wouldn't write "Brooklyn, New York, USA"
11 August 2009
- 10:5310:53, 11 August 2009 diff hist −644 John Stuart Mill →Utilitarianism: This surely gives undue weight to a rather fringe interpretation of his philosophy (a google scholar search shows the article has been cited only once -- by its own author)
4 August 2009
- 11:4211:42, 4 August 2009 diff hist −236 Continuation →Programming language support: Haskell doesn't have first-class continuations, it just makes it easy to construct a continuation monad (but you can also do this in CL, Lua, etc. etc.)
15 June 2009
- 16:3516:35, 15 June 2009 diff hist −199 Dangling modifier →Examples: This is not a misplaced modifier, it's just a branching ambiguity.

27 January 2009
- 06:5506:55, 27 January 2009 diff hist +73 Scholasticism This is a bit sweeping. Some of the scholastics were accomplished empirical scientists. Not all post-SR thinkers rejected a priori methods (not Descartes, for example, though he was very a scientist)
10 January 2009
- 14:0014:00, 10 January 2009 diff hist −3 Kurt Hiller No edit summary
- 13:5713:57, 10 January 2009 diff hist −2,833 Linguistic competence The whole article is a bit confused and gives far too much weight to the particular intepretations of Chomsky's work to be found in a few not-very-notable secondary sources.
31 December 2008
- 13:2813:28, 31 December 2008 diff hist −23 Edmund Blackadder Does not fail to distinguish fact and fiction.
30 December 2008
- 10:2010:20, 30 December 2008 diff hist −112 African-American English This sentence is a bit superfluous and unbalances the intro. Move source.
23 December 2008
- 06:2006:20, 23 December 2008 diff hist −253 Neuroethics →The neuroscience worldview: It's POV to say that neuroscience calls these things into question, etc. etc. It's a particular /interpretation/ of certain results in neuroscience that does so.
- 06:1706:17, 23 December 2008 diff hist +12 Neuroethics →Brain imaging
12 December 2008
- 02:0302:03, 12 December 2008 diff hist +71 Linguistic minimalism →Criticism: This is IR, it's not for the article to decide that the responses are contradictorary. Also, use of "concede" sort of implies that L&J are correct on these points.
- 01:5801:58, 12 December 2008 diff hist +15 Grammar Not sure why this says that transformational grammar stopped in the 1980s.
10 November 2008
- 19:3119:31, 10 November 2008 diff hist +39 African-American English This paper (http://www.stanford.edu/~rickford/papers/CreoleOriginsOfAAVE.html) has a good overview of the controversy and lots of citations
- 19:1619:16, 10 November 2008 diff hist −84 African-American English Remove the more radical claim -- no linguists believe this, and it shouldn't be given undue weight in the introduction.
