I don't want to get into a long debate over this and it has already been [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Featured_list_candidates&oldid=391741974#Manual_of_Style_Issues discussed here] but I got told to come here. [http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/H63.html W3C says] "For simple tables that have the headers in the first row or column then it is sufficient to simply use the TH elements without scope." (''TH elements'' can effectively be read as wikitable syntax). I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AFeatured_list_candidates&action=historysubmit&diff=391741974&oldid=391740721 got told] that maybe I shouldn't believe everything the guideline says, and that this has been "reviewed by an accessibility expert". Forgive my sceptisim, but the [[Essjay controversy]] now makes me cautious over matters like this. I'd much prefer to see something in a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] to back up these claims.
