[edit] Heading and link

There was a heading called "In American Sign Language" where it was also the first instance of American Sign Language in the article and so someone made the American Sign Language part of the heading into a link. I find headings that are also links a bit confusing or at least visually unsettlling so I moved the link to the first line of text in the sentence under the heading. I think that is less confusing than having headings double as links where it can be avoided. Qaz

• I just looked it up in the Wikipedia Style book and it suggest avoiding links in headings too. Qaz

[edit] The image for this article...

...has the alphabet completely out of order. For people who use ASL, this won't be a problem, but for native English speakers, the image might mislead them into thinking that "J" was in fact "D" by reading the image left to right and top to bottom.

Anyone know where we can find an images that uses English alphabetical order? Jfulbright 15:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
