I feel that my additions were positive, but I think now the length of the article requires a bit more structure/breaking up. Not sure what the best way would be, though. Any ideas? -- Jacquelyn Marie 20:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
The timeline contains definite biased statements; I will try and work on this later... 76.117.247.55 ( talk) 02:54, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
If this is all that's available, it should be removed until someone can do a better job. It reads like an unsupervised college newspaper article.

This article is completely biased against the Deaf community and the realities of this movement. I agree with the above statement that it should be removed as there are obviously people who are completely biased who continue to control the content. The article misrepresents the FACTS. This was not about a Deaf candidate, as I.King Jordan is not Deaf, but deaf. To me, this was much more of a compromise than a simple desire to have a president who was deafened. Zinser had NO qualifications or any semblance of understanding of Deaf-World issues, which is why she was flatly rejected. There is a growing number of individuals who would love to control Gallaudet, and the Deaf population, and these powers come from Oralism and the Medical community. The fact that this page is changed back to this one-sided opinion every time anyone alters it to represent the truth, shows the lengths to which some will go through to force their obviously uneducated OPINIONS of what transpired here.

I came to this talk page to see if anyone had explained why an ordinary adjective like "deaf" is capitalized throughout the article. From the comment above, I gather that the purpose of the capital is to distinguish those who cannot hear from those who refuse to hear. If I have understood the distinction correctly, I would say then that the capital should be changed back to a lower-case letter because using a capital in this manner politicizes this article, and Wikipedia articles should be unbiased. For a lay person, the capitalization is also unnecessarily distracting. Hattrick ( talk) 15:25, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
This article discusses a mostly-forgotten, peaceful protest that took place at Gallaudet University. I recently deleted a massive amount of wholly inappropriate material, removing, by my calculation, approximately 57.1% of the article's content. Deaf President Now is relevant and notable only in the context of Gallaudet, and should be treated as such. Include a half dozen or so paragraphs on DPN at Gallaudet, replace this page with a redirect to the pertinent section, and we'd be set. Şłџğģő 20:38, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post here because I've recently been making a lot of edits to the page. I just wanted to give a summary of all the edits I made so far and the reasons why I've made them.
So I've removed the different dated sections and put the protest as one big section. I did this because there wasn't enough content under each day to section it off. I moved one of the references Deaf President Now! by Sharon Barnett and John Christiansen to the sources section. I did this rather than have the book cited throughout the entire article because a lot of the information in this article is attributed to that book. Every line would have to be cited to that book throughout the article if I did in-line citations for it. I changed a lot of the actual content in the article as well. After heavily reading and reviewing the source Deaf President Now! by Sharon Barnett and John Christiansen I changed a lot of the article to be accurate with the information depicted within that book. I included information that the book heavily covers, such as the group the "Ducks." I also removed some information that I feel was extraneous and not notable enough/relevant enough to the protest to be included such as the March 5th candlelight vigil.
