Source

I note that the original source of this page is the ASHA Foundation website. The tone is not very encylopedic (I've made a start) and I hope there are no copyright issues. TrulyBlue (talk) 10:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I ran Earwig's copyvio detector on the page and it said that a violation was confident at 75.8% . . . it seems large portions were taken from several other web sites. Hama Dryad (talk · contribs · email) 13:26, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed! Thank you for spotting that. Please see below. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:47, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

At least one contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:18, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

International Woman of the Year?

Gifford was apparently named "International Woman of the Year" by somebody in 2006. Without knowing who made the award it's hard to judge whether it is a significant one. Can anyone enlighten? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:08, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
