Talk:NEADS Inc.

A fact from NEADS Inc. appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 December 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans relies on help from inmates from 15 New England correctional facilities to train many of its assistance dogs?

Name change/page moving

There has been a LOT of discussion on the help page about the title of this organization. PLEASE do not move the page or change the name! The organization is most well-known as NEADS. It refers to itself as NEADS or NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans or NEADS (Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans) within its website and on its official logo. Its official 501(c)3 nonprofit title is NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans. Wikipedia does not like '/', so I've changed it to parenthesis, which the organization also uses (see their homepage: www.neads.org.)

If you really feel compelled to move the page, please leave a note here or on my talk page first (I'm the page creator) so we can talk about your concerns before any moves. Thanks! --Lisaanimal (talk) 20:44, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
