History headings[edit]

Could I ask User:Walter_Görlitz why s/he removed my perfectly valid headings to at least break their history into smaller chunks?? I find it hard to read that much with little difficulty, and many similar artists have these subheadings...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by IamMattDavies (talk • contribs) 07:57, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@IamMattDavies: Sure: MOS:LAYOUT. We do not need short sections with only one or two paragraphs apiece. They offer no benefit to the reader and make the table of contents unnecessarily long. They're not needed so I've removed them again. Also, we don't link headings. Ever.

It seems to me as though you're engaged in conflict of interest editing? Am I mistaken or do you have an association with the group? Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:39, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply - I thought breaking it down into smaller chunks might be better. As far as I am aware, there doesn't seem to be any conflict of interest as such; I am merely a fan and avid listener etc etc... IamMattDavies (talk) 16:45, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I think there's too much info as well, and the content should be trimmed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:28, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Walter - I cannot see any part of the MOS:Access page that suggests we cannot merge cells - why provide the option to do it if it can be avoided?? IamMattDavies (talk) 06:48, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There was recently a discussion about this. I cannot recall if it was at ACCESS or the album project raised by someone from ACCESS, but I recall that some screen readers have difficulty with merged row cells. An effort was being made to remove the ability but it would take time. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:57, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok. IamMattDavies (talk) 06:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am confirming that with the ACCESS project now. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:41, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Walter, I've just added their announcement of Churchboy, and I came across MOS:ACCESS again, and I wondered whether, even with, say 5 headings, that the History section could be broken down imto more manageable chunks...?

Oh, and I was wondering if it would be worth adding a clarification about the songs released for Supply Drop (lz7.co.uk/supplydrop) and what has been released on top of that...?

Thanks IamMattDavies (talk) 17:38, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ACCESS isn't about layout, MOS:LAYOUT is, and after consulting with the project, rowspan is no longer an issue. There was at least one other editor who recalls being told it was and so it wasn't isolated.

As for layout, there's really too much WP:FANCRUFT in the article and there isn't a lot of WP:SECONDARY support to the content. When much of the content is supported with Facebook, YouTube, etc.. it's probably better to trim the contents than create headings to organise it better, particularly with WP:NOTNEWS in mind. That would apply Supply Drop as well. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. If I get time I will see what I can do tomorrow. IamMattDavies (talk) 18:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
