We were looking at the Neurofibromatosis Type II Wikipedia article today and it appears to need editing. For example, the description of the hearing loss that is a red flag leading to a triage of tests that lead to a diagnosis.

The comment on hearing loss is only related to post operative outcomes for example, and does not describe the type and degree of hearing loss (and it's progression) in persons with this syndrome.

I needed to add a comment so I receive any updates on this page.

Welcome!

September 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Garner, Iowa. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You appear to be adding external links to the article, which is not permitted. You also appear to have, at least in the recent past, been adding autobiographical material about yourself to this article. This is not appropriate.

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!

Welcome to Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

• Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
• Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
• The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:59, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Great your here. Happy to help as needed :-) The key is using high quality secondary sources. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:59, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ohio Valley Voices

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ohio Valley Voices, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Ohio valley voices deletion

I will look again at the material I posted for creating Ohio valley voices. My opinion is that I simply described what happens there. My entry is similar to postings by other schools for deaf children. UIowagrad (talk) 03:13, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi - I see you have recreated the page for Ohio Valley Voices. I was reviewing it just now, and I noticed that it does not cite any reliable sources - it just has a link to the school's website. You might want to try to find some independent sources to support the assertions in the article - our guidelines at WP:NCORP outline the type of sources we're looking for. Just linking to the school's website isn't really sufficient. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 14:22, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ohio Valley Voices

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ohio Valley Voices, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

COI

If you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. In particular, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:UIowagrad. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=UIowagrad|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Also read the following regarding writing an article

• you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
• The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:

1. significant coverage in
2. independent,
3. multiple,
4. reliable,
5. secondary sources.

Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.

• you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
• there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:31, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ohio Valley Voices

The article Ohio Valley Voices has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Recreated G11 article. Does not sound like an unambiguous advertisement anymore, but there are merely trivial mentions from the Press and journals. No significant coverage. Still fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOL

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 94rain ^Talk 01:36, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I have completely revised Ohio Valley Voices. It is factual, does not advertise, has references. And meets all criteria for Wikipedia in my opinion. It is parallel to an article on central institute for the deaf.

Ohio Valley Voices

Ohio Valley Voices (OVV)is a private school established in 1999 for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. They are part of the family of Moog Curriculum schools, helping hearing impaired children and their families communicate through speech and the only school in the Tri-State that offers an auditory oral program. It was awarded the Loveland, Ohio Non-Profit of the Year-2011.

The mission of the school is “to teach children who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate by listening and talking.” The vision is for children who are deaf or hard of hearing to reach their fullest potential and to communicate independently. OVV is located at 6642 Branch Hill Guinea Pike, Loveland, Ohio 45140.

Ohio Valley Voices provides several programs for children from birth through eight years old that include both Academic and Family Programs. The Academic Services Program is comprised of two divisions; the Discovery Center for preschool aged children, and the Learning Center for school-aged children. The preschool program Discovery Center provides both small group instruction of two or three children, and large group instruction for eight to twelve children. The Early Elementary Program begins at Kindergarten age with emphasis on use of spoken language and literacy development. The goal of all programs is to prepare children to transition to elementary schools within the child's school district. Family programs provide support to families and their infants with hearing loss. Parent-infant therapy sessions provide education on topics of hearing loss and habilitation and direct services to children. The Toddler Program includes individual and group activities promoting language, listening, and socialization.

Upon graduation, Ohio Valley Voices provides outreach services to the child and school districts to ensure smooth transition into a community school. Each child’s progress through their elementary years is monitored to assist the child. The audiology clinic provides monitoring of children’s hearing levels. The clinic is housed in a separate quiet room containing a state of the art sound booth and audiologic equipment. Hearing aids and cochlear implants are checked on a daily basis. Services to children include cochlear implant mapping, hearing aid fitting and maintenance, monitoring. The audiologists serving OVV are licensed by the State of Ohio.

Financial assistance is available to provide family assistance; and opportunity to attend Ohio Valley Voices is offered regardless of family income.

This information was posted by UIowagrad - Robert W. Keith, Ph.D. (UIowagrad) who is an unpaid member of the Ohio Valley Voices Board of Directors.

• Dr. Keith, you've been here long enough to know that Wikipedia articles are not message boards, so that last paragraph ("this information was posted") is not acceptable. As for the article, it has some problems. I did some cleanup, but you need to remove all those spaces at the beginning of a paragraph. Next, it needs to be rewritten so that it sounds neutral--right now it's eligible for speedy deletion as a piece of marketing. Then, it needs reliable sources that indicate that it might be notable by our standards--please see WP:ORG for notability standards. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 22:22, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of SCAN test batteries for screening and diagnosis of auditory processing disorders

Hello, UIowagrad

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Willbb234 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, SCAN test batteries for screening and diagnosis of auditory processing disorders, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion. The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Willbb234}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

I have noticed that you have recently been using the "minor edits" checkbox in cases where this does not seem to be called for.

Improper addition of inline links

On the Cincinnati Art Museum page, I have reverted you a few times for adding inline external links. I appreciate the efforts to improve the page, but the relevant policy is WP:ELPOINTS:

1. This guideline does not apply to inline citations or general references, which should appear in the "References" or "Notes" section. This specifically includes e-commerce and other commercial-sales links, which are prohibited in External links but allowed in footnoted citations.
2. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article. Instead, include appropriate external links in an "External links" section at the end of the article, and in the appropriate location within an infobox, if applicable.
3. Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
4. In the "External links" section, try to avoid separate links to multiple pages in the same website, as if to provide a portal to that website; instead, try to find an appropriate linking page within the site.
5. This guideline does not apply to links to non-English Wikipedia articles; these appear in the sidebar by default, and are either sourced from Wikidata or can be added to the page's wikitext after External links.

Please refrain from adding inline external links that violate this policy in the future. Cerebral726 (talk) 14:51, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I never understood objections to posting information about Ohio Valley Voices. A school for children with cochlear implants. There is a similar posting of information about Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis. The posting was informative and not an advertisement. I appreciate efforts to keep Wikipedia free of ads so this objection seems to me very arbitrary. I regret it was taken down because readers of Wikipedia would be interested to read about OVV. 65.189.35.228 (talk) 12:26, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
