[edit] Size of the main image

The size of the main image in certain articles stays relatively small (see Bob Dole, Hillary Rodham Clinton) but the image is much larger in other articles (see George W. Bush, Dick Cheney). I originally thought that if I simply removed the 'image_size=' parameter from the pages with smaller photos, the specific size would be eliminated and the photo would size would increase (as it seems to have become the norm on American political articles). But my attempts failed, as the photos still remained small. I'm one for consistency, so does anyone know what the problem is? Happyme22 (talk) 18:54, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh my gosh, I was writing it incorrectly. My sincerest thanks for your help. Best, Happyme22 (talk) 20:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Office" breaks when "order" used

Can somebody provide a justification for "office" (and equivalent parameters) behaving differently (specifically, getting automatically encased in double square brackets) whenever "order" is used? It makes the use of offices such as "Provincial secretary of Quebec" impossible.

More generally, why should only offices which have a dedicated pages be allowed to use "order"? Circeus (talk) 17:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

It was done when all the politician infoboxes where merged. Can you give an example of a page where the template becomes 'impossible'? --Philip Stevens (talk) 17:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
See Étienne-Théodore Pâquet for a textbook example. Circeus (talk) 22:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
So it's the use of "office" Vs. "title" (legacy of conflicting implementations I assume) that was at fault. I think the template needs to be better documented rather than just randomly listing the original basic implementations. Circeus (talk) 15:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
