How to deal with large and complicated tables
[edit]A thought of mine on how to deal with large and complicated tables such as Ed Bradley#Awards and recognition. In such cases, the spoken editor faces a challenge. Doing a complete detailed read out is laborious and at the same time very difficult for a listener to parse and usually not useful.
Different approaches could be used while dealing with tables:
- Option 1 - Summarise very broadly.
- Option 2 - Summarise very broadly. AND Give the name of the audio file where the details are completely .
- Option 3 - Group common items and summarise. AND Give the name of the audio file where the details are completely .
- Option 4 - Choose most important items to expound in full. AND Give the name of the audio file where the details are completely .
- Option 5 - Give the details completely.
One could choose any approach. However, the listener should be clear from your script that what you are saying regarding the table is your summary work and not the original text of the article.
This thought of mine arose from a question to me from M4V3R1CK32. I invite thoughts and views from others on this issue.

Pronounciation of names, what to include
[edit]Hello, I am considering contributing to this project, and was wondering about some things:
When there is a name (whether of a person or of something else), is there a more conveinent way of finding the pronounciation than searching for random videos with the person in it? Unlike dictionary words, names are not something that always takes a couple of seconds to look up. Additionally, what about the scenario when there is no video of anyone saying the person's / subject's name?
Also, what info should be included in the recording? I assume it would be the title of the article, the date of the article version that the recording is based on, and all sections aside from References, including infoboxes, graphs, etc? And is there otherwise any information that is too menial to include? Also, I notice there's recordings of people saying the url of the article considering the title is read, and the url is going to be on the English Wiki if it's in English. Is the url being read necessary? It seems a bit redundant, but maybe I am missing something.
It seems info on what parts should be recorded is not in the "Creating Recordings" page of this project. Shouldn't this info be included in there? TheGEICOgecko (talk) 08:26, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
