Columns

I briefly suggested the idea of moving around the items so the Hindenberg would be in line with it's parent article. That was shot down to keep them ordered chronologically. What about just shifting the Hindenberg anyways, and just having not perfectly balanced columns (but at least not having a randomly outdented article to start a column).

I think I prefer having the columns the same length myself. The intent of the outdented Hindenburg seems clear to me - rst20xx (talk) 17:51, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
