This page should have a lot more info about the controversial history of this org, and its relationship with the Deaf community. So far, I have been unable to find any indication a single leader of it has been deaf. By all measures, it is an organization of hearing people pushing Deaf people to conform to an oralist lifestyle, not exactly an advocacy group. If there is anything uncontroversial it does (ex, lawsuits demanding captions in videos) it would be worth noting, but so far it doesn't seem like that.--RespectCE (talk) 12:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Achutjian: Your edit summary is "This entire section was written by an activist with unsupported claims and expired or irrelevant sources" but I just added a link (oralism) to the phrase "promote listening and spoken language". Was this incorrect? Arlo James Barnes21:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Arlo Barnes: I think they were referring to the person who rewrote the section to be much larger in 2022 (parts of the section seemed relevant (though its size seemed like potential undue weight) but also I didn't want to even partially restore that version because the person who made the edits was a sockpuppet), and their undo of your linking was a separate thing they did alongside. I've restored the link to oralism because its removal was unexplained and linking to the topic seemed sensible, and I've also restored at least the version of the controversy section prior to its expansion because its full removal seemed off in the other direction (i.e. potentially biased toward presenting AG Bell as uncontroversial). (Addendum: And have added deadlink templates to HOPEFULLY remind myself not to forget to add archive links for some of the dead links. 16:29, 12 August 2024 (UTC)) - Purplewowies (talk) 16:20, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
