Thanks for flagging this up Geni. A couple of staff members are already in touch with the Association to offer support and work with them on this initiative...we'll see what develops!

Best wishes

Lucy

The British Stammering Association has started running some adverts
that can be seen here:

They include the text at:

"The way we talk about stammering is wrong so we worked with wikipedia
to make it right"

The edits were made by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stamma_BSA_1
and are fairly harmles.

Might be an idea for wikimedia UK to reach out to try and help things
stay harmless (and who knows we might actualy find something to work
together on).
