Is there a way to add a "non-breaking space" in HTML lingo to the comments boxes for people who have not included comments in order to close out those table cells? Amadeust 16:45, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

HTML has an  , but I'm not sure why it's needed--at least, in my browser, the table looks fine as is. Elf | Talk 21:26, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Good point. I just checked with FireFox and it looks OK. Internet Exploiter and Netscrape seem to have an issue with this table. Will check with Safari when I get home later today. Amadeust 01:09, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Safari, Chimera and Mozilla display this page correctly. So it appears that the problem is confined to IE and Netscape (under MS at least). No issue there. Amadeust 07:10, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'm using Netscape 7.something on my Mac and it looks OK; IE 6.0 on this Windows machine looks sucky. So it's probably (ahem) a Microsquish effect... Elf | Talk 19:12, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Silly Question

Why isn't this page broken down into regions Gnangarra 14:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I agree that placing photographers into regions may make it easier for people looking for local photographers to cover a request. What are other people's thoughts on the above idea? Tom Webb 09:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Photo Matching Service

Have you seen an article on wikipedia that needs a photograph but you can't travel a thousand miles to take it? Do you love taking pictures for the wiki but aren't sure what our needs are? I've created Wikipedia:Photo Matching Service to solve both problems by matching photographers with articles that need photos. To a certain extent it duplicates Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers, but its a bit more useful for finding someone to take a photo because its sorted by location. Additionally, the page also includes a list of needed photos for any given location so anybody can see what photos we need and take them for us even if that person doesn't want to list themselves as a photographer. Anyway, the page is pretty bare-bones at the moment and I would appreciate any comments that people have GabrielF 18:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29"
