There's a huge lack of articles about the self advocacy movement. including the fact that the page for self advocacy movement doesn't even clarify what kind of disability advocacy it is. I'd like to work on this project, there's some really good sources like https://mn.gov/mnddc/ada-legacy/ada-legacy-moment17.html and https://publications.ici.umn.edu/impact/33-1/self-advocacy-as-a-movement. As well as some articles that should be fleshed out like Roland Johnson. I'm new to editing wikipedia, so I'd appreciate help and expertise with that. Also working on this draft: Draft:Self Advocates Becoming Empowered

Perhaps someone from this WikiProject could take a look at Ola Abu Alghaib and maybe help clean things up a bit. I came across the article as WP:HD#Issues templates posted on this article and did a bit of cleanup myself, but it probably needs some more. One thing that seems to be an issue is WP:SURNAME, but I'm not sure whether "Ola" is the subject's given name or family name. In addition, based on this edit, I'm guess that the IP asking for help at the Help Desk as well as probably some others who edited the article recently have a WP:COI: one such account Veronikacuesta was even blocked for violating WP:PAID. So, it would be nice to have some more on eyes on it just in case things start to get a little out of control. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:10, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

I came across what looks like a fairly decent source about disability policy/politics in ancient Athens. Who knew that social security for disabled citizens has been a contentious issue for so long!
I hope someone would find this useful. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 08:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
I'd like to propose that we make an effort to get the article up to at least GA standard as soon as possible. It is currently rated C-class. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 06:14, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Eddie Izzard#Requested move 15 March 2023 , which is within the scope of this WikiProject. The topic of the discussion is on moving the article due to Izzard's recent name change.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I have posted a suggestion at WP:WikiProject Women in Red/Ideas#Disability that we have a collaboration with them. It's been quite some time since we last did something like that, so please participate in the discussion there. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 09:29, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
A month-long collaboration with Women in Red will take place during May 2023. Full details are at WP:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/268. Please sign-up there. Thanks Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 21:05, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
I've started a draft about a subject who I follow quite closely on social media. Consequently I'm not really sure I'm able to fairly and neutrally evaluate the sources I have gathered. Please take a look at the sources I've listed at Draft:Chelsie Hill to see if she is clearly notable. (BTW This is part of the WiR collaboration for May 2023 that I have mentioned above.) Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 18:44, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Orders, Decorations, and Medals/Archive 7#Deprecated language in citations for UK honours about whether citations should be updated to today's language, eg changing the 1980 "For service to the disabled." to "For service to disabled people." Members of this Wikiproject may have a view: please comment there. Pam D 17:12, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

I recently created NaviLens with a translation of the Dutch article. The company makes QR codes to assist visually impaired people. Any help with expansion would be appreciated. Thriley ( talk) 16:52, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone involved in the disability space would review this article for submission. It’s about Creativity Explored (CE), a nonprofit in San Francisco that hosts a day program for developmentally disabled adult artists. Located in the Mission District and Potrero Hill, CE functions as a studio-based collective, currently offering over 130 artists art supplies, training, exhibition and sales opportunities. I am an AmeriCorps VISTA in Community Development serving at CE so I wanted to disclose that and welcome any notes on bias and/or promotion that is inappropriate. That being said, CE is a 40 year old nonprofit that has a strong nuclear community and is a proud part of the broader disability community. I’d appreciate any time you take to look the article over and provide feedback, thank you! GeorgiaMKC ( talk) 16:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Physical therapy#Requested move 29 December 2023 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. – robertsky ( talk) 04:45, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is the best place to ask this, but thought I'd give it a shot. I'm a bit bothered by a sentence in Wiseguy (TV series) concerning the fictional character Daniel Benjamin "Lifeguard" Burroughs: "Daniel is a double-leg amputee, but is remarkably mobile in his wheelchair; he is also mobile with a pair of prosthetic legs." I thought this was the norm for amputees, to the extent that an amputee being unable or unwilling to use a wheelchair or prosthetics would require explanation. Am I mistaken, or is it appropriate to excise everything in this sentence which follows "amputee"? Martin IIIa ( talk) 18:06, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
