Hi Chloe.93! Nice work! These are big sections and you've done a thorough job!

Suggestions: 1. Since this is a dense topic, it could be helpful to link terminology to other Wikipedia pages to help the readers out! For example, check into links for topics such as: Guillian–Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis, diplophonia, paresis, paralysis, Recurrent laryngeal nerve damage, posterior cricoarytenoid, dysphagia, recurrent laryngeal nerve etc.

2. Because the information is complex, perhaps you could try to shorten some sentences into smaller chunks. Really try to break sentences down whenever possible!

A few examples: Patients with either vocal fold paresis or paralysis may exhibit a breathy voice quality. [1][2] This voice quality results from the increased activity of the vocal folds to compensate for the immobility of the PCA muscle(s).

Glottal insufficiency is another common symptom observed in vocal fold paresis. Here,the vocal folds do not come together properly.

Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) damage is the most common cause of vocal fold paresis. The RLN is responsible for motor input to the vocal folds. Additionally, superior laryngeal nerve damage (SNL) can also lead to vocal fold paresis. The SNL is responsible for sensory input to the vocal folds.

3. Also, there is some wording such as thus, wherein, etc. that might be a bit formal for Wikipedia.

4. When you talk about swallowing difficulties, I think you could just put dysphagia in brackets instead of i.e.

5. Maybe you could define the difference between paresis and paralysis in the symptoms section.

6. It could be great to have a bullet point list of symptoms as well!

Great work, and all the best with the rest of the project! Ananaslp (talk) 23:03, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
