message: Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

message: I'm an Australian audiologist working with both hard of hearing and Deaf people, and I've noticed that the Audiology article and its associated articles are rather terrible, and I'm looking to expand and rewrite them. I've started working on the Audiology article in my sandbox, it's a big job!
However, I feel that it's really important that anything that I put up not minimise or marginalise the Deaf community, and not fall into ableist language. I'm coming from a hearing perspective in a profession that has historically done some horrible things to people with hearing loss, and I want anything that I write to be accessible to everybody and not medicalise hearing loss too much.
So, I was hoping that someone might be willing to work with me to ensure that my language is okay as I work on these pages to improve them. Also, I was wondering what the state of any guides regarding terminology are - I'm currently using "person with a hearing loss", but it's a bit clunky.
Thanks so much!

message: Someone else noticed the same thing and added a comment in the article's talk page.  We had both noticed several instances where the word 'Deaf' was capitalized, some more strangely than others.  As the other person asked "is this political?" :-)  Could y'all take a look at Bimodal bilingualism and think about what to do?  I see sections here that talk about capitalization.  Maybe the policy/guidelines are clearer now? Thanks.  Shenme (talk) 23:40, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Would a person with mild hearing loss, who can understand speech unaided most of the time and isn't part of Deaf culture be considered hearing. According to the Manual of Style, no, such a person would be hard of hearing. What does WikiProject Deaf think? Do we have our own style guide and if not, should we?

message: When I was taking a few semesters of ASL, my professors were very insistent that the "D" in deaf should only ever be lowercase if it is referring to the condition of being deaf. They said in all other cases one would be referring to Deaf people and Deaf culture which should be capitalized on account of describing a group of people; this would be similar to saying "American people" or "Black people." My question here is if those rules should apply to the articles in this project because I have seen capitalization like that but only occasionally. Heather Lipsky (talk) 05:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

message: Hi, 
the article Mutual intelligibility only includes information about spoken languages, but does not mention anything about sign languages at all. I don't have any knowledge about the subject, but think it's important. Maybe someone wants to add a paragrah about sign languages? --217.149.171.189 (talk) 02:30, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it would be a good idea to have a brief mention. In brief, mutual intelligibility among sign languages follows the same pattern as among spoken languages: when one is a dialect of, or derived from another, the more recent, generally the more intelligible; when there isn't such a relationship, they are not mutually intelligible. Example: American Sign Language and British Sign Language are mutually unintelligible, but ASL and French Sign Language have a certain amount of mutual comprehensibility (I'd say around 30% or so) because ASL was partly developed from FSL in the early 19th century.

message: I'm a (hearing, ASL-fluent) professor at Temple University; Honors students in one of my courses as assigned to create Wikipedia articles about the experiences of DHH people in various countries around the world.  Last fall, students created new articles focusing on deafness in Bangladesh, France, Ghana, India, Portugal, Soviet Russia, and Uzbekistan.  They also made substantial edits to the following articles: Australian Deaf Community, Flemish Sign Language, Education in India, Women in India, and Disability in North Korea. I typically offer this course once per year, with approximately 25 students per semester.  Therefore, an additional 25 countries (or significant regions) should receive deafness-focused articles every year.  I'm relatively new to Wiki-work, and would appreciate help integrating these pages with this broader project, and/or other related projects.  And of course, all Wikipedians are invited to help improve the articles themselves! Matthall.research (talk) 20:30, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
