Redundant explanation of items in the tables

Revirvlkodlaku, the tables themselves are clearly marked, in bold, with the column headings Year, Title, Role. It is absolutely redundant to add an extra line, directly above the column headings, to tell readers that this table shows year, title, and role. Do you suspect that readers of this article are incapable of understanding the column headings, and need to be told multiple times, on consecutive lines? The column headings are fine, all by themselves. Jmg38 (talk) 17:32, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jmg38, I do not appreciate the fact that you first reverted, then decided to talk to me about this issue; that is rather sneaky. I also don't appreciate your tone. Just because you do not understand the reasoning behind something doesn't mean it is pointless. The extra line is there for those who are unable to read and use accessibility tools. This was explained to me a while ago by another user, and I have been adding the extra line ever since. I don't have the WP link to show you my rationale, but perhaps you can look it up for yourself. In the meantime, please leave the line there. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 19:43, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No need to reply, unless I missed anything else regarding this item. Thank you again. Jmg38 (talk) 20:23, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
