[edit] US Commission on National Security/21st Century

Nice work on this article! I made some formatting and other fixes. Just a gentle reminder to please use edit summaries for all your edits so that other editors can understand the reasons for your edits and please use the preview button so you can proofread your changes before saving the page otherwise the edit history gets all clogged up with minor edits/typo fixes etc. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 16:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and I also added some categories and created redirect pages for Hart-Rudman Task Force on Homeland Security, Hart-Rudman Commission and US Commission on National Security. – ukexpat (talk) 16:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Nav Box

I have taken the stuff in the table in the US Commission on National Security/21st Century article (and the related articles) and turned it into a navbox template which could be used at the bottom of all the related articles. At the moment it is in my sandbox at User:Ukexpat/Template:US Intelligence Reform Attempts 1947-2005. Please take a look at let me know what you think. I propose that we delete the existing table and use this navbox instead. Let me know what you think. -ukexpat (talk) 19:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the message on my talk page. Actually, that's not the way to do it. I will move the template from my user space to the main space and add the template code to the very bottom of the article - that's where nav boxes are supposed to go. – ukexpat (talk) 19:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I fixed it -- as this is a template, all you have to do is add the wikicode {{US Intelligence Reform Attempts 1947-2005}}, at the bottom and the wiki software shows the navbox! – ukexpat (talk) 19:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
