Hello. I love Wikipedia! I use it to find out alot about a topic that I am very passionate about: urban rail transit. (That is, I use it to learn about different urban rail transit systems and lines around the world, as well as trolleybuses occasionally). However, there is a problem: I recently started seeing that some articles didn't have "article descriptions" so I started adding some. Then yesterday the Wikipedia app said that I had to log in to my Wikipedia account to start adding alot more. Since I didn't have an account, I just started creating one, but since I'm blind, I can't see the CAPTCHA image that they want me to copy. I would like Wikipedia to start thinking about making Wikipedia more accessible to people with disabilities, not just people with visual impairment but also people with other disabilities. You could include an audio option or text option in addition to the picture option currently provided. Keep the picture option especially if you chose to add the audio option: this would make it accessible to visually and hearing impaired people at the same time.
