Positive subtoot: supporting good alt text by telling people what you need from alt text
Here's mine:
If there is a publicly recognisable person in an image, please always name them in the alt text.
Calling someone just 'an absolute legend getting arrested' or 'a warmongering arsehole signing papers at a desk' is not useful, it doesn't help differentiate them much at all. Value statements and commentary on the person are fine (she IS a legend), please add people's actual names too.
