Infobox[edit]

It looks hugely unwieldy to have a massive infobox stretching the entire length of the article and running into the series of footers that give all the relevant information. If we must have the dates, please put them in the footers and leave the infobox as it was. If some sort of justification isn't given for them, I will re-remove.

Personally, the bottom boxes look weird rather than the side ones. The side infobox appears to be the current standard for politicians and maybe you should discuss that at the template. Four days for a discussion. Wow, that's quick. At the end of four days, I will revert back. Assize (talk) 20:36, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What current standard? The navboxes have pretty much universal usage across the project, both Australian and overseas articles (Canada, UK, US); the stuffing of the same info into epic infoboxes seems to be just scattered across a few NSW articles, evidently done by just a couple of users.
