whitespace

Hi, Pittlers. Thanks for your contributions to Cedar Waxwing. Just a couple of things to mention. Generally it's a bad idea to insert whitespace to "fix" layout. There's an enormous variety of screen sizes, browsers, and browser window ratios to which each page has to adapt. If you "fix" whitespace on one configuration, it may "break" it on others (these fixes made my version look sloppier). The best thing to do is to let each user agent decide on layout based on the source with minimal manually inserted linebreaks. Occasionally there are some semantic markup tags that are useful (like <br clear="all" />, see Rolle's_theorem for a working example of this). I have undone the whitespace changes to the article you made. The new references you added also have non-informative reference names like ":0" and ":1". I don't use the Visual Editor so I'm not sure how adding references works with it, but if there's a way to use more descriptive names, please consider it.

Ok about white space. About the reference names, I am not sure what you are referring to. Are those names appearing in the source editor? In visual editor, you just click a button and punch in your reference info and it creates the citation automatically; it doesn't offer a reference namer. I don't know why they have those emoticon looking things as names. Kind of weird! Erica (talk) 04:17, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
