- 07:0007:00, 19 March 2010 diff hist +2,293 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Fangs: Fangs is a useful first approximation, but it's misleading in important ways.
- 06:3206:32, 19 March 2010 diff hist +1,623 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Source request again: The citation clearly states that alt text issues are one of the main problems with blind access to Wikipedia.

- 16:2116:21, 18 March 2010 diff hist +1,120 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Some remaining issues: The example was recently changed (not by me) and is currently wrong, which explains the confusion.
- 16:1216:12, 18 March 2010 diff hist +1,657 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Source request again: Summarize what the source says.

17 March 2010
- 22:3322:33, 17 March 2010 diff hist +618 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Succinct in seven words: Way too short for encyclopedic images. Guideline should not enforce a very terse style.
- 22:2122:21, 17 March 2010 diff hist +322 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →What to write for the caption to be the alt text: WP:ALT#Placeholders and WP:ALT#Defaulting to caption.
- 17:5417:54, 17 March 2010 diff hist +286 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →What to write for the caption to be the alt text: Yes, it's wrong.
- 17:5117:51, 17 March 2010 diff hist +1,064 Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Duplicate citations: New subsection.
- 17:4917:49, 17 March 2010 diff hist 0 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →References: These two sources are directly cited, so they are references, not further reading.
- 17:4217:42, 17 March 2010 diff hist −76 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Further reading: Omit URL towards what appears to be a copyright violation.

- 17:2017:20, 17 March 2010 diff hist +226 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Brevity: Restore the point about not a detailed physical description (recently came up) and not an ID (often comes up). Give a loose upper bound (as some guidance is needed here).
- 17:1317:13, 17 March 2010 diff hist −22 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Be precise, but keep it simple: Rename to "Accuracy", for brevity.
- 17:1217:12, 17 March 2010 diff hist −17 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Complying with the content policies: Rename to "Content policies", for brevity.
- 17:1017:10, 17 March 2010 diff hist +26 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Complying with the content policies: Add an anchor, since WP:ALT#Verifiability is common.

- 17:0317:03, 17 March 2010 diff hist +18 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Complying with the content policies: Mention that the hair is tousled, perhaps the most striking visual aspect of this portrait.
- 16:5916:59, 17 March 2010 diff hist +4 m Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: Conjoin two short and related sentences.
- 16:5816:58, 17 March 2010 diff hist −3 m Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: Reword for brevity.
- 16:5716:57, 17 March 2010 diff hist +279 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: Restore reliable source that is primarily about blind access to Wikipedia; this is more directly relevant than most other sources here.
- 16:5416:54, 17 March 2010 diff hist +10 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: Mention network problems explicitly; they're common.
- 16:5116:51, 17 March 2010 diff hist −22 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: Omit "But bear in mind that"; not necessary.
- 16:5016:50, 17 March 2010 diff hist −129 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: No need for in-text attribution or qualification here: this point is the consensus among reliable sources.
- 16:4916:49, 17 March 2010 diff hist +54 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: In example, use same size as in actual web page. This is the main portrait for Ptolemy, so details about his appearance are appropriate for the alt text in this context.
- 16:4716:47, 17 March 2010 diff hist −24 Ptolemy II Philadelphus Shrink alt text a tad, in the interests of WP:ALT#Brevity.
- 16:4416:44, 17 March 2010 diff hist +12 Ptolemy II Philadelphus Make the coin a bit smaller.
- 16:4216:42, 17 March 2010 diff hist +306 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Goal: Explain goal at the start of the section: alt text is intended to be a working alternative, not a perfect substitute. This helps motivate brevity.
- 16:3816:38, 17 March 2010 diff hist −217 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images →Images without alt text: This is about exceptions, and should be after more-typical cases. Fix incorrect advice about link=|alt=. Suggest "Indescribable image" for contentious case.
- 16:2316:23, 17 March 2010 diff hist −225 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Use more-succinct alt text in main example, taken from the talk page.
- 15:5915:59, 17 March 2010 diff hist −185 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Coalesce duplicate citations to McAlpine. Don't use Google Books URLs; they are not reliable (typically don't work for me), have privacy issues, and are not necessary.
- 15:5415:54, 17 March 2010 diff hist −76 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Contentious images need alt text too, even if it's just a placeholder.
- 15:5315:53, 17 March 2010 diff hist +10 m Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Add "parameter".
- 15:5215:52, 17 March 2010 diff hist +62 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images All non-decorative images should have alt text; when captions substitute, they are supplying alt text.
- 15:5015:50, 17 March 2010 diff hist +220 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Explain difference from caption. This is invariably a cause of confusion and needs explanation in the lead.
- 15:4515:45, 17 March 2010 diff hist −284 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Cite McAlpine in the body too; lead should cite only sources cited in body. Move out of "references" since it's cited.
- 15:3415:34, 17 March 2010 diff hist +26 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Repunctuate example a bit.
- 15:3115:31, 17 March 2010 diff hist +32 Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images Every image should have alt text, unless it is purely decorative. This is the WCAG guideline; it's not something we should blithely override. Distinguish from caption.
- 07:4207:42, 17 March 2010 diff hist +43 Daylight saving time Undid revision 350359421 by Eubulides (talk) Revert self; fixed the target page instead.
- 07:4007:40, 17 March 2010 diff hist 0 m Time in Australia →Daylight-saving time: Omit the hyphen in the section title; the term is rarely hyphenated.
- 07:3807:38, 17 March 2010 diff hist −43 m Daylight saving time →How it works: Remove wikilink that no longer works; discovered by WildBot.
