Deafness in the United Kingdom
[edit]Hi @Sydneydavis2004, Thanks for creating the article on Deafness in the United Kingdom. I took a look at the draft and cleaned it up a bit, but it needs significant copy editing for incomplete sentences, capitalization errors, and attention to the overall encyclopedic tone.
Remember Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is meant to provide a summary of the topic at hand, not to provide information on services or jobs available to the deaf community. As a writer for Wikipedia, you shouldn't talk to the reader. Any usage of "you" in the text needs to be rewritten to be neutral and informational, so as to not persuade the reader. Please take some time to address these concerns. You can also check out Words to Watch, as a helpful guide to address text that may introduce bias or might stray from the encyclopedic tone required of Wikipedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Looping in @Matthall.research. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
I have sent you a note about a page you started
[edit]Hi Sydneydavis2004. Thank you for your work on Deafness in the United Kingdom. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thanks for creating this article, noting that it was created as part of a school project. It's a helpful contribution, fitting well with the series in Category:Deafness by country. It's well-written, with an appropriate tone, and using appropriate sources. I had wondered about the rather long section on Human and civil right, which is a rather long summary or extract of one source - but the material included is well-chosen to address the topic of the page, and hence is helpful to readers. The page could now be better linked from other Wikipedia pages. I hope that you go on to make future similarly helpful contributions outside of your course!
