Agreed. I love Infoboxes and they are generally the first thing I read. I will admit that the George Washington one is far too long though; at that point it is no longer " Highly scannable info", but rather just a pile of data. >So I'm not sure moving all this stuff outside of the article is >ever a good idea.

I like the earlier mentioned idea of a Data tab for the extra information that could be removed from longer infoboxes. Thank you, Derric Atzrott P.S. Sorry about my terribly worded email to the list earlier this morning. I was tired and didn't proof read it first to make sure that it actually flowed according to the rules of English instead of my thoughts. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
