Talk:Disability discrimination act

Latest comment: 3 years ago by Dakolson

This article is still Anglosphere centric, it mentions disability discimination acts in UK, US, Canada and Australia, but what about mainland Europe, does Germany have one for example?Myrtone (the strict Australian wikipedian)(talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myrtone86 (talkcontribs) 12:18, 9 April 2006

I think the title of this section can be strengthened by renaming it to "Disability Civil Rights Laws" to be more inclusive and focused on civil rights, as that is primarily the goals of disability community advocates when pushing for such laws. --Dakolson (talk) 20:27, 26 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Just a Question. What is Wikipedia doing to make sure the development of its policies do not compromise the spirit of inclusion and accessibility for all with regards to say someone with downs syndrome? Kaz 20:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Well quite a lot of what we do has improved accessibility as a goal, for example the use of {{flatlist}} in navboxen which enables assistance programs to parse the navbox contents better and the choice of suitably contrasting colours for text and background. See WP:ACCESSIBILITY. From that point of view the development of our policies does not "compromise the spirit of inclusion and accessibility" for anyone, quite the reverse. Downs' Syndrome is quite variable in its effects. If you have a particular concern, please ask in more detail. --Mirokado (talk) 21:04, 28 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
