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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mater lectionis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alif (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Best edit summary of the day!

Imperial boomerang moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Imperial boomerang, does not have enough sources and citations to show standard use of the term. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 04:47, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did it ever occur to you to drop me a courtesy note to add more references before chucking the article into AfC purgatory? Einsof (talk) 11:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Imperial boomerang has been accepted

[edit]
Imperial boomerang, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Stampede

[edit]

Hello
I see that you have peremptorily split the human stampede section from here and re-labelled it 'crowd crush'. Quite apart from the lack of discussion, this has a number of problems; despite the new title, the content is still about human stamp4ede and how the term is inappropriate; many of the examples listed are titled (however incorrectly) as stampede incidents, so you saying they aren’t, without reliable sources to back it up, is original; and you have failed to provide attribution on the talk page, effectivelyapparently passing off the work of the editors at the original article as your own. I have reverted the split; I would suggest you read WP:SPLIT and then make a proper proposal. Regards, Moonraker12 (talk) 13:55, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I should have said 'apparently'. Regardless, it was a shoddy piece of work, per that and the other points made; are you planning to address them on the article talk page? Moonraker12 (talk) 18:12, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A false accusation of plagiarism is defamatory, and as such violates WP:NPA. Anything short of striking the entirety of the false accusation, including the accusation of lack of attribution, and issuing a retraction on Talk:Stampede (wherein you inserted a link to this discussion) is insufficient.

Regarding your addition to Interstate Highway System

[edit]

Hi, regarding [1], I think it's an iteresting idea but I see a huge problem. I think it would be better to list incidents in the article about the individual interstate highways, and not the article about the system itself. There have been tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of major accidents on a network of highways tens of thousands of miles long over it's 70 years of existance. This list could explode into an unmanageable pile of spaghetti in a hurry. Would you be open to moving this content to the articles for the individual highways? Dave (talk) 21:51, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The full list of Amtrak incidents is also too long for the main Amtrak article and instead exists in a separate list article. I think that is probably the right solution for the Interstate Highway System as well. If that is still not manageable, we could have separate articles that list incidents by year, as is done for mass shootings in the US. The table on the main IHS page can contain only those events that exceed a certain notability threshold—perhaps only the deadliest events, as is currently done on the top-level page for mass shootings in the United States. Einsof (talk) 23:33, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Our standard approach has been not to list incidents in highway articles unless they resulted in a lasting impact on the design of the highways themselves. Since we rarely list them in the individual highway articles, it's even less likely we'd list them in the system article itself. As a matter of comparison, Michigan State Trunkline Highway System, another highway system article at FA status does not have such a table. Assuming, ad arguendo that we did list them, the table would need citations that it lacked. Statistics are in the list of things that require citations.
For all of these reasons, I have removed the table. Imzadi 1979  05:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Who exactly is "we" and "our" in this context? If this is some small contingent of editors who focus narrowly on highway content, then perhaps we need an RFC to solicit a wider perspective. I notice you didn't remove the corresponding table on the Amtrak article even though it also lacks citations that you claim are required. Einsof (talk) 05:57, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I started a discussion on the Interstate Highway System article talk for more visibility. I suggest you respond there instead. Einsof (talk) 06:08, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
