First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Reverting edits

It is considered impolite to revert an edit without as much as even discussing it. It is also considered edit warring, which is a blockable offense on Commons and Wikipedia. In this case, there has been extensive discussion at en:Talk:Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012, where consensus leans toward keeping the image as color-blind friendly, even if it is uglier. Please discuss there before reverting again. Thanks. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:38, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

No there wasn't. One or two people is not consensus. The colors have there for months. We already changed the state map. The whole color-blind issue is completely overblown.TL565 (talk) 04:02, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

About 5% of people in this world are color-blind. I wouldn't call it "overblown" if 5% of people can't read our map simply because of our color selection. Magog the Ogre (talk) 04:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but I don't see people making a big deal about in the talk page. I can only see one person who brought up the problem. Also how many of that 5% are checking the map? How do you know that if the colors may be friendly to one type of color-blind but not to another? TL565 (talk) 04:26, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

First, there has certainly been more than one color-blind user to complaing about this, unless I'm mistaken. And even if there has only been one, this isn't the first time I've had a user complain to me about a map not being color-blind friendly, so I know it's a frequent occurence. Second, I know it's color-blind friendly because Vischeck tells me it is. 04:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
