Is there anything that I contribute to Wikipedia that's right? -- Zoe

Please don't take offense Zoe - we all edit articles and fix each other's mistakes. The trouble was that the image is more than 206 px wide. --mav

As a pure technical note, I see no reason (even from a performance or load point of view) for including an explicit width of a diversion. It does not help at the Wikipedia end, nor at the client (which needs to find the diversion height anyway). So I would recommend simply leaving out the explicit width. -- Egil 06:20 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)

Unfortunately some pre Mac OS X-based browsers do not wrap text below images when an explicit width isn't added (resulting in a justified image with a column of white space below it the same width as the image. That said, I still don't add the specification myself becasue I'm lazy and think those Mac people should upgrade to Mac OS X or buy a PC with Linux on it. ;) --mav

Or just switch to Mozilla? There is a Mozilla version for just about everything. Tannin

Omniweb under Mac OS X does the same thing [1], which is why I go around changing them when I see them (I have Photoshop open all the time, so it's easy for me to do). (I'm not switching to Mozilla, either, if it can't handle nested tables; see Talk:Yttrium. ;-) Hephaestos

There is nothing wrong with Moz - the nested table doesn't look right because an image should be in the middle of it to prop-up the different parts. See Lithium for an example of one of these nested tables with an image in it. --mav

I note this page is linked to Casualties of the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks: City of New York where a firefighter with this name was killed. He should be mentioned.

I would do it myself but am too depressed from reading the names of the dead. Paul, in Saudi

Someone (preferably someone who nows mroe than I do) should also deal with the British mariner John Marshall, whom the Marshall Islands are named for... that article links here, confusingly. -FZ 13:56, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Several quasi-humorous remarks are inserted in this article; maybe someone adept in Wikipedia can revert those changes? 213.10.183.26 20:35, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Queued images

Sculpture of Chief Justice John Marshall from the grounds of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., created by William Wetmore Story, 1883.

[edit] Intermarried

John Marshall's tombstone reads "Intermarried with Mary Willis Ambler ". Does anyone know how "intermarried" is different from "married"?Vincent 01:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations

Note: This article has a very small number of in-line citations for an article of its size and currently would not pass criteria 2b.
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.
