[edit] Whitespace in Violet Beauregarde

Hi, the article doesn't need that whitespace, and is not different from other wikipedia articles as far as I can tell. Could something be wrong with your browser settings or style sheet? The whitespace just comes across to me as weird. If you think the sections are too close together in the standard Wikipedia article format, the solution is to update the standard format (you could suggest that at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) if you think it's worth it) to put more space between sections, not manually insert a bunch of <br> tags in individual articles. I personally haven't seen a need for more space, but maybe that's just me.

Also, the px directive for images is deprecated and shouldn't be used without a good reason. If you have a wikipedia account you can set your personal choice of default size in Special:Preferences and without a px directive, the images will be shown at the size you choose. With the px directive, the directive overrides the viewer's choice of size. We generally prefer to avoid overriding viewers' choices of default size since they can always click on the picture if they want to see it bigger. Remember that we have a lot of users with small screens, viewers using dialup connections that load large pictures very slowly, users with weird browsers, etc. We want to let them make choices that reflect their own requirements. Note you can also set up a custom style sheet for yourself (at least if you have an account) and that could add whitespace if you wanted it to.

I'm going to revert your change for now. Feel free to discuss it on the article talk page.
