Hi.

No time right now to make this look pretty. Also, as yet I know almost no Wiki syntax, and almost all I am doing is correcting the occasional glaring error I see (checking the syntax for each new task that I have to do).

I'm also trying to start a project to get Wikipedia more colour blind friend. There are quite a few pages with images (maps, graphs, plots. etc.) that are pretty much useless to a user with "red-green" colour blindness. It ought to be possible to make these plots safe for the vast majority of users.

I also think that, if it is not possible to make a colour plot safe whilst keeping it coloured, some sort of black-and-white plot ought to be additionally furnished. The annotation for an image would say something like "image known to be colour blind unsafe, please click here for a greyscale version".

This is a list of pages that might, or might not, cause difficulties for colour blind people. I've not decided yet.
