Accessibility and signature
Hiya :). Would you be willing to change your signature colour (the History part) to something that meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines? It currently has a very low contrast of 1:1.5, where 1:4.5 is recommended for contrast with the white background. This tool may help you find a different colour. I've prefilled the colour black we use in Wikipedia, so you can easily play around to find a colour you like. A possible alternative is #2F7E98. Thanks in advance :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:53, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, I was thinking about changing it anyway. On my Mac, the light blue is VERY light blue, but I find on other devices it looks too much like a wikilink. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 20:57, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- Is ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 21:01, 5 November 2023 (UTC) better?
- Much better, thanks :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 21:11, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
Washington politics
Since you're part of WikiProject Washington and say you're interested in US politics and history, would you like to collaborate on articles about Washington politics? I've already written and edited several articles on various California politicians (and don't plan on stopping anytime soon) but for some reason I've always thought that Washington had interesting state politics and that I should contribute more to that.

- I would love to help, but I am quite busy and can't dedicate my whole life to Wikipedia. However, what articles would you think I could help with? I am quite interested in politics, but right now it isn't my #1 interest and I am a bit rusty. At this time, I do mostly anti-vandalism and minor edits, so I'm not terribly proficient in political article-writing, but I have written Uwe Holmer from scratch, so I guess I have the skills. I will help as much as I am able to, but November's a busy month for me so I won't be terribly active. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 02:38, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- @HistoryTheorist Yeah that's totally fine. I'm quite passionate about improving the available knowledge on state-level politics and since there's so much to write about I'm always on the lookout for people who can help out. If you'd like, I can send low-priority suggestions after I get started with some Washington politics-related articles. Derpytoucan (talk) 04:23, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- I would love to help out and your suggestion sounds reasonable to me. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 04:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- @HistoryTheorist Awesome. Can I also sign your guestbook? Derpytoucan (talk) 06:17, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- yes. anybody can sign it! ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 18:58, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
