Hello, I see you have created a new Cardinal Infobox. Would it be possible for you to change the colour of the box from purple (a bishop's colour) to the red of the cardinals? Its not major but is more aesthetically pleasing. Gavin Scott ( talk) 18:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I also note in the infobox there is an Other section. In the case of Cardinal O'Brien you put his previous post in this section, however it reads like the section means he holds the position in tandem with his Archbishopric. Can it be changed to Previous Position or just removed? Gavin Scott ( talk) 18:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Its the red that you would have seen in the Infobox cardinalbiog2, the one you changed. Gavin Scott ( talk) 18:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I have declined the speedy deletion of those two templates because they do not meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion. I suggest that if you want them deleted, you submit them to Templates for deletion. — Travis talk 19:14, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Your well-intended changes created some havoc in several pope pages, as the new size and dimensions create ugly spaces on top of page. Please correct (revert) this unanticipated consequence.
Second point, The strong purple color does contrasts with pictures. The previous color as neutral and clearly better. Cheers -- Ambrosius007 ( talk) 21:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, you reverted my recent changes to the template, asserting that they were incorrect. The changes are in fact correct - I linked to the relevant articles. The term "United Kingdom" as used today is short for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", and before that after the act of union in 1801, it included all of Ireland. Can you explain why you believe the edits are incorrect? I'll watch this page for a reply. Thank you. -- Bardcom ( talk) 08:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
(outdent)I've copied this to the template Talk page - it's probably more appropriate to continue any further discussions there. -- Bardcom ( talk) 10:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I don't have knowledge of the subject area. I noticed purely by coincidence that you made the changes immediately preceding the change I reverted. Could you check this anon IP edits please? I've reverted one based on the way that they switched the word Cardinal around, but I don't know enough about the others. Thanks ... -- Bardcom ( talk) 16:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
It might seem reasonable to revert the replacement of a good image with a worse one, but Wikipedia can only use free images, or fair-use ones when there is no free alternative. Even though the second penny image is worse, it is free, so we use that. Just in case you're tempted to be looking for coins - always good to illustrate medieval rulers - please be aware that even though photos of old paintings are nearly always in the public domain ( Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. refers), pictures of old coins are usually not because coins are 3d objects. A pain in the neck.
While I'm here, regarding the {{ Infobox British Royalty}} template, this is supposed to be for Wikipedia:WikiProject British Royalty use, i.e. from George I onwards. It really shouldn't appear on earlier rulers as it includes far too many fields which cannot be filled in. It's silly enough for it to be on James III of Scotland, but it is worse yet for it to be used on Alfred the Great. {{ Infobox Monarch}} has as much info as can usually be found, and even for that half of it can't be filled in for Alfred the Great or Harold Godwinson. All the best, Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Your actions on the above page are, at best, of extremely dubious justification. So far as I can tell, no one explicitly agreed to your proposed formatting when you proposed it. Since then, two editors, myself included, have on the talk page specifically indicated they prefer the older formatting. On this basis, your most recent in a series of unilateral revisions to impose your own tastes on the project page would seem, I believe, to most people to both be contrary to WP:CONSENSUS, which I very strongly suggest you read, potentially a violation of WP:VANDALISM, and almost certainly a violation of WP:OWN. Given the fact of the three, I am reverting your recent unilateral changes. If you wish your chosen version to be in place, then I suggest that you consult others, obtain consensus, and then make the changes. Consider, this, if you wish, a formal warning to cease such conduct immediately. Thank you. John Carter ( talk) 16:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! You're a member of WikiProject History, so I'm just informing you about a proposal I've made about standardizing History of [country] templates (like Template:History of France).

Hey bro, I was wondering why you changed the standard Twelve Imams template for Ja'far al-Sadiq? -- Enzuru 21:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
What are you doing here? You are not, as your edit says "restoring [the] microformat, but damaging it, and removing its documentation. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 15:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm not really sure what the point of this template is, but I've reverted your edits which added it to Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush. It seems rather pointless, and is only used on one article. WP:TFD might be the answer. - auburnpilot talk 21:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
