[edit] Pictures

If anyone has picture/s of the Samuel Beckett Coin/s feel free to upload them also any information regarding the Samuel Beckett details (such as Alloy and Weight). If anyone has Pictures of the Accession of ten new countries to the European Union coin to replace the more generic version.Kevin hipwell (talk) 20:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Great Job!

I will help you out when time comes, I need to finish the Austrian and Belgium articles first, so I am assuming some time next week will be able to put some time into this article as well. Thanks for helping to create the euro gold and silver coins portal! Miguel.mateo (talk) 22:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland

I like how you changed the introduction its much cleaner than before, however I am a little concerned about the term "minted" as the Central bank of Ireland doesn't do the actual minting(the Currency Center does), I think the more suitable term would be "launched". How would you feel about this change?

"Launched" sounds like a rocket to me. Maybe "Issued" sounds better.Miguel.mateo (talk) 22:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Issued is fine, I was just using the word Launched as that was the term used in the news articles on the central bank websiteKevin hipwell (talk) 01:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Images

Unfortunately I don't have those coins yet and can't get the pictures for the €5 & the Samuel Beckett.Kevin hipwell (talk) 02:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Layout

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.13

as you see from the image below in version A when you include the "forced white space" it causes the obverse image to appear shifted from the Reverse

version B without the "forced white space" does not have this mis-alignment.

I am using IE 6.0 and IE 7.0, and it looks better (at least to mu eye); and look at what I see:

Let me investigate further more, maybe the HTML will need some changes. Miguel.mateo (talk) 03:53, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

what about using "new line" tag? I made that change to the special Olympics €10 and the result for me also gives "Version B" how does it look for you? Kevin hipwell (talk) 04:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Kevin, my point is that one coin next to the other not only looks better, but the extra spacing in the left text is removed, so the article looks more consistent, without so much extra spacing. BTW, your recent change did not change how this deisplayed in IE. I will investigate when I arrive home, I have only IE now. Miguel.mateo (talk) 04:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

When I saw your Article (the Austria one) it displayed it as one image above the other and I assumed you intended it to be displayed that way(I still see it as one above the other). I then used your layout for this article and the France one. When I seen that the "forced white space" caused a slight mis-alignment(as seen in my image above) I decided to remove it however, I was unaware that it displays the images next to one another with IE (I hate IE) and therefore did not realize the improved difference the "forced white space" makes for IE viewers.
I think we have 2 options here:

1. simply add the "forced white space" so that the articles look good(although different) for both IE and Firefox.
2. Find a way so that both browsers display the same layout(preferably how you intended it to be for the reasons you states above) but this will take more time and effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevin hipwell (talk • contribs) 04:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] width

what differences do you see when width of the first cell is/isn't restricted by the 180px?Kevin hipwell (talk) 05:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Let me work that out at home toght, I have almost all browsers installed in my Mac and PC. My real intention is to display the coins one next to each other, so as I said, there is no much white spaces. So maybe the solution is to set the cell with to 160x2 + alpha (for spacing) (so aorun 350px). When I removed the 180px, then in IE the coins looks next to each other, the other tables I see them one on top of the other. Miguel.mateo (talk) 05:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kevin. As you see if the with of the images cell is changed to 330px then the images are nicely put one next to the other in both IE and FF. What to you think about doing this change for all articles? If you agree (which in my opinion looks better) I can do a massive change in the format for all articles (Austria, Belgium, Ireland and the France set). You will need to check that the images you uploaded have the same height though. Let me know. Miguel.mateo (talk) 22:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
