I am nominating this article for Good article reassessment for multiple reasons. The citation needed, page needed and Miscellaneous info tags alone would be more than enough, but there are also of couple a potentialWP:COPYVIO Youtube refs (157 and 158), and the awards section doesn't talk about or source the specific awards in prose but rather just makes it dependent on a unsourced Succession box list. It may have met the criteria at the time it was promoted, but I don't think anyone predicted how even more popular this show got and thus there were probably less experienced editors infiltrating the article with unsourced info and trivia. Nonetheless, the issues are significant enough for a reassessment.👨x🐱 (talk)15:58, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently no one has read the book I posted about. "Trebek himself says in his bookThe Answer Is...(pg 229) that his favourite impersonation is byEugene Levy in several sketches from the 1980s onSCTV." Do I have to post a picture of the page?AMCKen (talk)06:15, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Current version of the article ([1]) does not mention Eddie Timanus explicitly but mentions accommodations for visually impaired contestants twice, once under the heading "Gameplay" (Contestants who are visually impaired or blind are given a card with the category names printed in Braille before each round begins, and an audible tone is played after the clue has been read aloud.
) and once under the subheading "Final Jeopardy!" (Visually impaired or blind contestants type in their responses and wagers with a Braille keyboard.
).
Is it accurate, that the keyboard which visually impaired contestants receive is a "Braille keyboard"? (And if so, has that always been true?) My strong suspicion is no; it's just a normal QWERTY keyboard. (Also, is the term "Braille keyboard" even meaningful? I tried looking that term up in Wikipedia, which has articles forPerkins Brailler andBraille technology. The latter article says, without citation,Braille computer keyboards are extremely rare.
)
This was briefly discussed on this Talk Page in 2008, without resolution, here:Talk:Jeopardy!/Archive 2#Moar questions. See also this posting to Reddit:[2], which cites this specific 2005 edit that appears to have been made by Eddie Timanus:[3]. That edit summary stated,I used a standard computer keyboard, not a braille notetaker.
Also, the official Jeopardy website discusses the point here:[4]Only minor adjustments were made to accommodate Eddie: He was given the category names printed in Braille on a card at the start of each round, and a keyboard to enter his Final Jeopardy! response. This was truly an historic event.
Therefore, the article should not state that visually impaired contestants use a "Braille keyboard" for their Final Jeopardy responses, unless and until some reliable sources are found on that point.

Does anyone else think there would be some benefit in delineating "Current hosts" vs "Prior hosts" ?
