Not done: The change is the addition of links to the nonexistent article Copper statue and the article metal – this falls squarely under WP:OVERLINK. Tollens (talk) 20:54, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Could someone with edit privileges update the following to remove the offensive term handicapped. Maybe change to “disability access”:
“A modern elevator was installed, allowing handicapped access to the observation area of the pedestal” Thejeremybrown (talk) 14:15, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Is there a recommendation in the Manual of Style? Surely this is something other articles have encountered. Wehwalt (talk) 14:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
“accessible access” might be better. Check out the terminology section of this Wikipedia page - DisabilityThejeremybrown (talk) 15:09, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Changed to "disability access". Accessibility access might lead someone to change it feeling it sounds redundant.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! I’m not sure if the term handicapped is still common in the USA - but sounds very outdated and offensive from an Australian perspective. Thejeremybrown (talk) 00:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Thejeremybrown, In the US at least, "handicapped" is still common and doesn't have the same offensive connotation that it has in Australia, per MOS:DISABILITIES#Political correctness and the euphemism treadmill . "Disability access" or "wheelchair access" are good alternatives in my opinion.@Wehwalt, while I'm not aware of anything in the MOS per se, MOS:DISABILITIES does say that "disabled" is favored among disabled people. I have no problems with your edit. (I forget if the elevator was installed after the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was passed, though.) – Epicgenius (talk) 16:52, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
