Wikipedia's list of sign languages: who?

[Schuit, J.M.]

Hello all,

 

Recently I googled an Inuktitut term that was supposed to refer to sign language, and Google gave me directions to a Wikipedia article with a List of Sign Languages. Does anyone know who wrote this? It's for this reason:

To my amazement, this article listed Inuit Sign Language as well as Inuktitut Sign Language, each with a different Inuktitut translation (or I guess it is an Inuktitut translation as I do not know the language). As I am working on a description of (parts of) the Inuit Sign Language used in Canada, I would be interested to know to which languages the labels Inuit SL and Inuktitut SL apply, and where the Inuktitut translation comes from. Does anyone on the SLLing List know who wrote this Wikipedia article? I would like to ask him/her where the information about these two languages came from, as I had not come across it before.

This is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sign_languages

 

I hope anyone can inform me!

Best,
