Thanks for the comment. Do you know what the braille is for Belarusian ў or Ukrainian ґ? And do you have any evidence the cap sign is 45? Counting you, our three sources contradict each other. — kwami (talk) 02:22, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Belarusian ў is dots 346 («inverted» у), and Ukrainian ґ is dots 12456 (г with dot 6 added). By the way, I know the author of this Braille symbol (I mean, ґ) personally. As for the capital sign... Actually, I would become an eminent Wikipedia editor if I had sources for everything I know :-). I'm a Braille reader (and writer) for many years since I'm blind from birth. And I know that the cap sign is dots 4-5 here. Yes, it was dots 4-6 before 1956. I'll try to find sources but there are too few possibilities. Anarendil (talk) 12:06, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

[edit]

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for joining WikiProject Disability! I'm blind from birth as well, and use a screen reader. If there's anything I can help you with, let me know. Graham87 05:23, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, Graham!) Actually, here are lots of things I don't understand yet. But I'll look around)

You're most welcome; see my reply on the JAWS talk page about the captcha. Also, you might find Wikipedia a bit easier to edit and navigate if you change the skin to Monobook, the old theme, in the appearance section of your preferences. The default skin, Vector, hides many options that are infrequently used by readers, to create a better appearance; clicking on the links expands them, in case you hadn't noticed). Monobook exposes all the options right there so you can get to them conveniently. You can also change the language of the site's interface in the user profile section of your preferences. Changing the interface language and the skin are among the first things I do when I have to edit a new language version of Wikipedia for the first time (which I have to do for various reasons).
Re: The problem with the feedback that you mentioned on the JAWS talk page, that's version 4 of the article feedback tool, which is displayed on 90% of articles; version 5, which has more features and is more accessible (though still not perfect), is displayed on 10% of pages.
One more thing: replies in talk page conversations are indented by adding an extra colon to the start of each paragraph. This is described at Wikipedia:Indentation; I've indented this conversation per standard practice. Graham87 05:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
