Thanks P.E. Measles has started a new sub discussion. You may want to take a look. Sirvice626 ( talk) 22:57, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Once again, I like your efforts. The original version by Measles (that you've now rewritten) seemed to me to distort the connection between NRM and cult. What you have presented with the use of a period clears up my concerns. Thank you. I like the way you write. Sirvice626 (talk) 00:59, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Did I notice your having added a navbox addition that allowed multiple navboxes at the bottom of articles to be closed? I can't find how to do this and I'm noticing a lot of prominent actor articles which multiple award navboxes that would be greatly benefitted with a close option. Thanks.

I learned the Preamble to the United States Constitution by heart back in the fifth grade. And I can still recite it. Strange... how some things seem to stay with you forever.
Anyway, both the above article and the National Archives show the "o" in the word "order" as capitalized. In my opinion, when one looks closely at the original penned document, the "o" in "order" is not capitalized. Take a look for yourself, and tell me how you feel about this. Here's the discussion, and here's the Preamble... Preamble to the United States Constitution/text

Fixed it! and left the following note on the {{ editprotected}} talk page of the Collapsible list template:
I have created a sandbox and testcases page for this template to illustrate the [Show]/[Hide] overhang outside the right edges of all the infoboxes that use this template. (See toward the bottom in the "Codes" section.) I'm not sure about other browsers; however, my IE7 shows this overhang in all nine skins. You'll note that the Infobox on the left is actually called from my personal sandbox, which is where I call the sandbox version of this template.
When the width near the top of the code is changed from 100% to 96%, this gives the best rendition of the [Show]/[Hide] link and brings the right end of the link within the edges of the Infoboxes. I'm interested to know how the testcases appear in other browsers. If the appearance of the left-side testcase is okay in other browsers, then I'd like for an admin to change this width to 96%. If the testcase does not look good in Firefox, etc., then perhaps a lesser or greater percentage should be used. At any rate, the width really should be reduced so that the [Show]/[Hide] link does not overhang outside Infoboxes in IE7.

I haven't used it in about a week. I do go looking for redirects on a page to fix, but while there I figure I might as well make some fixes to the page too (I don't go looking just to fix redirects). I will be honest those, I think that ridiculous guideline needs to be eliminated. Even though it's just a guideline (not a policy), some particular editors are anal about it and the guideline is doing more harm than good. Fixing redirects more often than not helps a article and users. There are some exceptions, but most of the time it is helpful to fix redirects. TJ Spyke 14:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Ref.:
Template talk:Infobox Country#Flag borders
Noted in the
Japan article is the indistinct border of Japan's flag in the infobox. Basically, what I see is a large red dot where a flag image is expected to be. Then I look closer and I can just barely make out the border of the flag.
See also:
South Korea –
Indonesia –
Russia
I'm unable to find any parameter that would give the flag a distinct border. This could be done by including an all-covering border=1 parameter and value, or by just including the "border" parameter as an option that can be adjusted in the individual articles. This affects all flags that have a white background. Options and suggestions, please?
