Hey Graham, hope you're doing well! I was wondering if I could ask a (work) favour — I'm taking a look at the potential accessibility considerations in regards to some changes we're planning to make to diffs, and although I'm fairly confident in my understanding of ARIA and the such, the couple of times I've tried to use either JAWS or NVDA I've struggled. Would you be willing and able to screen record both the workflow you describe for viewing diffs, and how your screen reader normally reads a diff (i.e. without viewing the page source etc.)? If you do not already have a preference for screen recording software, I can personally recommend the free, open source ShareX ( https://getsharex.com) application. — TheresNoTime-WMF ( talk • they/them) 12:54, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

my story today |
Thank you for updating for DGG, who is much missed. The April image shows one little blue flower among a few grass leaves, sticking its head out of snow, melting in crystals around it. The best image of resilience I found. On 9 April, Easter Sunday, I enjoyed seeing the story of Marian Anderson on the Main page, who sang in resilience in Washington on 9 April, Easter Sunday 1939. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:41, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

And it happened, I had a good story on coronation day: the Te Deum we sang that day (mentioned before). And the following day we sang it for the composer ;) - And today we remember a composer who created music especially for us! - The May image is dominated by a blossoming apple tree that is not very high but very broad, against a backdrop of the high green forest trees. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:11, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
more pleasant music (just heard!) if you click on songs - did you know a string quartet with two cellos (and no article yet)? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:32, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Pentecost was full of music, and my story today is that 300 years ago today, Bach became Thomaskantor, with BWV 75, writing music history. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:56, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Graham - hope all is well? I'm getting in touch to ask about the WikiBlind project, after I read about it on your personal timeline. I am not blind myself, but use speech-recognition software for other accessibility-related reasons (I also have a visually impaired younger brother, but he certainly isn't old enough to be using the Internet quite yet). I was, therefore, wondering if I would be eligible to join in some capacity, and assist in accessibility-related matters on Wikipedia in this regard? Thank you in advance, and have a good day!

Hello Graham87, import is able to bypass certain parts of the interface administrator controls, however if any adjustments are needed such as another move, or if the content model isn't set correctly, it will be stuck until an interface administrator can work on it. Generally best to defer those, especially if there is a non-userspace request, to Interface administrators' noticeboard. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 09:16, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello Graham87, Trust all is well? Please i will like to request for an IP block exemption for this new user.

I like today's Main page, and here's why ;) - (DYK that we got filmed when performing the piece mentioned?) - The image here shows an abundance of daisy flowers almost to the horizon, the camera caught 100+ singers in a a half-circle against the sandstone wall of our church -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:01, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

the image is hard to describe: an almost natural-looking cherry hits some blue planet, with impact - ask Lingzhi -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:40, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
I would like to know about this format. I already have some idea of what it is from seeing other LGA pages such as the City of Perth, but I find it really minimalist and leaves out key factors of LGAs such as roads (which are the responsibility of LGAs to maintain), education and economy. When compared to other third level divisons like counties in America, it seems that Australian LGA are quite minimal when they could include more information relevant to the shire. But then again, there might be a good explanation. Anyways, have a good WA day. Topeka-GuyWiki ( talk) 02:14, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

I saw you ask at WP:VPI about two recent high-profile checkuser blocks. I know you to be something of a wikihistorian, and I saw no one has directly answered in the thread yet. While I'm not privy to the exact information, the two most recent high-profile checkuser blocks I can recall are User:GizzyCatBella during the recent Holocaust in Poland arbitration case, and User:MalnadachBot's operator (apologies if your screen reader doesn't understand Kannada script) User:ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ, blocked days ago during the acceptance phase of another arbitration case.

Hello @ Graham87, I will like to request for IPBE for the following users. Users with no account on this wiki can be created. Since they do have an account on other wikis.
Please do update me incase of any situations on circumstances related to any of the accounts in the list. JDQ Joris Darlington Quarshie ( talk) 15:07, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
On 22 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mackay Davashe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mackay Davashe wrote "Lakutshona Ilanga", the English version of which, sung by Miriam Makeba, became the first South African piece to chart on the Billboard Hot 100? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mackay Davashe. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Mackay Davashe), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

For updating an external link on the John Lewis (pianist) page. For all it does, Wayback Machine loads excruciatingly slow, and 99% of editors would never bother to change a technically functional link. Thank you! Mach61 ( talk) 00:48, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
