Misplaced Pages accessibility
Hello Graham,
- I hope you don't mind me asking, but RexxS suggested that you would be able and willing to give me some first-person feedback on Misplaced Pages accessibility issues and screen readers. I'm particularly interested in language-related accessibility issues.
- On Misplaced Pages there seems to be very little awareness or understanding of the need for language-related semantic markup (using templates based on Template:Lang). Virtually nobody marks up foreign languages embedded in the body of English Misplaced Pages articles, and some users are moving large numbers of articles to titles with diacritics (and with no semantic markup for such titles).
- I'm sure these issues must be a big barrier to using Misplaced Pages with a screen reader. Any comments that you can find time to provide on this subject would be most welcome. Very best wishes. LittleBen (talk) 17:02, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Follow-up
Hi Graham. Thanks again for explaining those importing complications. I finally brought it up on my home wiki, and the resulting guideline is here. I was hoping you might have a few spare moments to give it a quick read over and check for any inaccuracies? I'm afraid it's arranged rather haphazardly at the moment, though...

- Thanks for the extra info! Hopefully this means cleaner page histories now. Osiris (talk) 02:15, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Housing edits
Hi Graham,
I recognize your concern that my additions are focused on one country. However, in the Blindness and Deafness articles, you have left the U.S. definition of blindness to stand, as well as the number and percentage of blind persons in the U.S., the U.S. Department of Education's policies regarding deaf children, and the U.S. EPA's noise standards to prevent hearing loss. I am not sure how my additions are different.
Also, I wonder if this issue would not be solved naturally when other users start adding housing information for other countries. Keeping the topic could encourage others to add to it.
More importantly, I would welcome your suggestions on re-writing so that the housing information is included. I believe that this is important information, not only to people in the U.S. so that they can exercise these rights, but perhaps also to people in countries that don't have these rights who might be interested in petitioning their governments to obtain them.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FairHousing (talk • contribs) 15:53, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Plural in heading title
Hi, Graham ! Regarding this edit, WP:MSH says "The provisions in Article titles (above) generally apply to section headings" and Article titles (above) says: "The title of an article should be based on the Article titles policy". At WP:SINGULAR, the article titles policy says: "Article titles are generally singular in form". So, based on all of that, I always use singular headings. Could you doublecheck that edit on that basis? Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:16, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Sandy, I didn't think of that before making my edit. I just thought that the heading title souhnded wrong because that section talks about a group of people, of which there is more than one, kinda like the other heading titles in that article ( "Difficulties in relationships", "Gender aspects", and most notably "Autistic adults"). A singular heading title there still sounds a little odd to me, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Graham87 15:43, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, I see your reasoning-- sounds good enough to me! Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:46, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the heads up. I do appreciate it, but could I ask that you use someone else? Thanks. —Lowellian (reply) 17:05, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Sub-headings at FAC pages
Hi, Graham; would you have a moment to look at Misplaced Pages talk:Featured article candidates#Accessibility of headings? Happy holidays, and best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:21, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Baku
A interesting wrinkle from when you imported an edit into Baku today. In the one minute when Baku was in the MediaWiki namespace, AvocatoBot (talk · contribs) "fixed" all the now double-redirects, pointing them to MediaWiki talk:Baky. Of course this page disappeared almost immediately, leaving a redirect to a deleted page. Later, Legobot (talk · contribs) helpfully came along and flagged all of these redirects for deletion! See the history of Baki Sahari for an example. I think it's amusing more than anything and I've fixed all the redirects, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Just a note to thank you for keeping an eye on wp:MW. It is people like you who make wikipedia a worthwhile endeavor for me. Season greetings. Ottawahitech (talk) 07:11, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
PROUT tags
Hi, Graham. Thanks for your input on the PROUT article. Regarding the tags, I am somewhat confused. As you know, the tags pertain to an old and rather shabby article that was put up on Misplaced Pages many years ago. I can understand why we would leave a tag from the Politics portal in place, even though that tag is certainly outdated. Though I have not done it, I believe I may request that the new article be reviewed and the tag reevaluated. But what is the use of prominently displaying a 'nominated for deletion' tag from 2007? If I were to nominate a model page for deletion, would that page need to carry my tag at the top of it forever? It seems to me that once a nomination for deletion fails, any associated tag should be removed (or, at the very least, eventually archived, as I did). Over this last month, the PROUT article was totally rewritten and vastly expanded. As a result, the PROUT page no longer looks anything like the page that was actually nominated for deletion. So, the 'nominated for deletion' tag might have made sense five years ago. It might even have made sense just 2 months ago. Today, however, it is entirely misleading. --Abhidevananda (talk) 01:03, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Epeefleche. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Murdoch University, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Fails wp:v, has been tagged since 2008 -- please do not restore without a proper ref Epeefleche (talk) 14:18, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- In regards to Epee blanking sections of text which are easily source-able, I think, Graham, that the rule you're looking for is WP:PRESERVE. This has been raised with Epee before on [[Talk:All_Hallows'_School#Removal_of_House_System_section|the talk page of another article where he removed content that was found through google in under a minute[[, on his talkpage, and at ANI.
- In amongst the fawning at ANI noted in the last you will see that the general feeling is that Epee is a hero of the people and that it's my burden to wikistalk him and source all the content that he removes, because WP:PRESERVE and WP:CHALLENGE can be read selectively. Clearly, I just wasn't quick enough in this particular instance. So, mea culpa. ˜danjel 15:27, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
