In the fourth paragraph of "Early life and cancer", change "enrol" to "enroll" (first sentence). 99.199.132.83 (talk) 06:15, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. "Enrol" seems to be preferred in Canadian English. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:33, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested Title Change

Instead of "attitudes to disability"; what about, "view on disability,"? Attitudes to disability most certainly can be read in a negative connotation which isn't viewpoint neutral. I would love for someone more well versed in Wiki editing to assist in this manner if it is agreeable. 24.255.224.90 (talk) 03:34, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. "This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened: September 13 to 19, 2020." Not ONE single editor has the time to even respond to my request? The article is locked & I can't edit it myself otherwise I would have. Someone fix this or otherwise, make an articulable argument as to why it should not be changed.24.255.224.90 (talk) 03:01, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Attitudes to disability" isn't even good English. I've changed the section title. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:15, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JFC, Where have you been? Thank you! Way better, including my suggested edit. Merci! 24.255.224.90 (talk) 04:35, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
