Talk:Makaton

message: "Makaton Keyword Signing varies from country to country and can even vary from state to state within each country" sounds a bit POV to me, suggesting that all countries have states. The US certainly does, but the UK and Canada do not. Is there a NPOV term that could be used instead? I would say "region" but that does not denote a particular demarcated subdivision. — Paul G 07:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This bit in particular strikes me as having an un-wikipedian tone (original research?):
:When teaching Makaton, you must ensure the person can see your hands and that you teach signs relevant to the person, rather than always working through the stages. Nouns like 'toilet' should be taught before non-practical signs e.g. please, hello, goodbye etc. You must always say the word while signing or the pupil won't see the need to use it.

message: The Makaton language is copyright to the charity, it is not permitted to create Free software that helps people to learn Makaton or share videos of Makaton signing. This is pretty unusual in a language, perhaps a section on that would be of value.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.65.98 (talk) 14:32, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Just wondering if there's a reason why Something Special (a show specifically designed around Makaton usage, and which ran for over a decade on CBeebies) isn't even mentioned in the main article and is only listed as an external link? Considering that the host received an MBE in large part because of his work with Makaton on that show, it seems strange that it doesn't merit a mention where Rob Delany's later bedtime story does. 82.27.48.105 (talk) 07:10, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
