I imagine that the man has had plenty of PhD students over the years; how are "W.-T. Dylan Tsai, Grant Xiaoguang Li, T.-H. Jonah Lin, Nigar Aygen, Naomi Harada, Gulsat N Aygen, Francesca Del Gobbo, Ruixi R Ai, Takaomi Kato, Masakazu Kuno, Hironobu Kasai, Beste Kamali Aknoun Azad, Hsiu-Chen Liao, Hiroki Narita, Peter Jenks, Dennis Ott" (the list currently in the article) particularly significant among them? -- Hoary (talk) 01:45, 17 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for this. I followed the suit of other academics' Wiki pages (see, for example, David Pesetsky), which have longer lists of grads. I included all students that appeared under Jim's hierarchical position on AcademicTree's LinguisTree. As somebody took the time to include them on that site, and given the accomplishment that successful doctoral study suggests (through the hard work and extent of expertise entailed), I thought that the entire list was worthy of including. Truthfully, I am only familiar with three of these researchers. I am open to further suggestion and, in the mean time, I will experiment with nesting the entire list through a utilization of a 'click to reveal', ('Show'-type) function and await further response. It's also of note that I plan to develop articles for at least two-to-three of these researchers in the future. – Mczuba (talk) 09:14, 17 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the detailed reasoning -- and yes, that all sounds good. -- Hoary (talk) 04:37, 18 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
