User:Dbiel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have found Wikipedia to be a very useful tool and as a result was lead to help make it even better. I had been actively involved with SpamCop serving as one of the two admins of the SpamCop Wiki[1] and also as one of the five moderators of the SpamCop Fourms[2]

My current schedule no longer permits be to be active in Wikipedia, but I still believe in the value of Wikipedia and make use of it as a initial reference source.

Editing articles for web accessibility

Web accessibility is the goal of making web pages easier to navigate and read. While this is primarily intended to assist those with disabilities, it can be helpful to all readers.

While editing articles, keep in mind the goal of making Wikipedia web accessible. All users, regardless of ability, should be able to read, navigate, and contribute to Wikipedia easily.

The Accessibility section of Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS) is a valuable resource that provides helpful guidelines. In addition, Accessibility dos and do nots is a quick summary of the most important guidelines for editors.

WikiProject Accessibility is a group of editors promoting better access for disabled and other users. For more information, such as what you can do to help, see the main project page.

The default Wikipedia search engine can be slow and unreliable. Luckily, alternatives are available, such as a customized Google searchbox, already preset to search Wikipedia: http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=wikipedia.org&sitesearch=wikipedia.org
