Wars response
== Google Maps ==
How do you think the maps are coming? The ones relating to my three new subcategories of 1st Afghan War could be linked now though they will need a few refinements. I haven't spent any time investigating how to use your Map Template yet.--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 13:22, 10 June 2009 (PDT)

Hi Sarah. I think the wars infobox is great. I also like the way the map template fits under it.<br>
May I suggest:
*We have used numerals for the war titles generally (1st Afghan War) but letters for the title in the infobox (First Afghan War). Should we be consistent or is there a better reason to change?
*The date format 1839-42 seems to have become our norm rather than 1777 to 1782.
*I am uncertain about what should go into the Links section. In the 1st Afghan War article we have the category and its subcategories; which is fine. In the 1st Maratha War category we have the same category which of course is not a link to itself.<br>
Actually I am still confused as to when entries should be articles or categories. The 1st Afghan War article has the infobox, troop strength, recommended reading and external links. The category has troops strength, subcategories and articles including the 1st Afghan War article. Isn't there a certain amount of duplication/circularity here? Also it is the 1st Maratha War category that has the infobox as there is no article. Do you intend that all the category pages have an article page of the same name where the infobox and detailed information resides?<br>
Anyway the infobox is a great idea and I will happily add it to the war pages as I go if you can get through my muddle.<br>
Thanks for recent edits by the way. Sometimes I feel like a careless child whose parent is forever tidying up after them.<br> Regards--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 05:13, 24 July 2009 (PDT)
