I don't believe William (bill) Stokoe was a Linquist. He certainly was not hired as Linquist when he started his work at Gallaudet. He was hired as an English teacher. So when he first saw Sign Language it wasn't through the lens of a linguist it was as an English teacher. He studied with two Linquist while Gallaudet which was part of his interest in the language. I don't believe he had a degree in linguistics therefor I don't think he could be identified as Linquist William Stokoe.
How come the Regional Variations doesn't seem to have as many citations. The information seems valid, but there's only 1 citation per section with a lot of information included? -Jdenny17 (talk) 19:06, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
The map in the infobox is difficult to interpret especially before enlarging as the colors are pretty similar. I'm not super worried about color being the only distinction here, because the info is provided in the text of the main article under geographic distribution, but I do think that more contrast might be helpful? I don't know anything about infobox editing and it looks like the map is from Commons... hoping someone with more experience in one/both of those areas might have some thoughts.
