 * 1) Dates without days are okay. The template will accept just year and month. Set it up without days for now. Then, later, check for dates page by page.
 * 2) The REDIRECT page is fine as a temporary measure. You can fix the links later. We prefer for our internal links to go directly to article pages whenever possible.
 * 3) The problem is not the right side bar. The problem is the table. It's too wide. Remember my earlier statement about being careful about how much work you do on those pages, because they need major changes? Tables being too wide is the #1 major change of all. The tables must be redesigned to fit within the space given. The adjustments I made to the tables today helped, but not enough.
 * 4) The biggest problem with tables being too wide is the Notes column. In most cases, it's unnecessary. The admins want to eliminate Notes columns in tables and move that information to footnotes and to the article pages themselves. Also, the admins want to limit footnotes by moving information to the article pages as much as possible.
 * 5) The images in those tables are kind of cool. They also add A BUNCH of width to the tables. Most likely, the Image and Notes columns will have to go.
 * 6) I know you're anxious to help, and believe me, we appreciate it. Here's where I need to ask you to slow down a bit. The new Style Guide will set some new guidelines about how to keep tables consistent on the site. I'm still working out the details, and then the community will discuss them and probably make more changes. In other words, if you overhaul the tables now, you'll probably just have to do it again in a couple of months.
 * 7) In other words, forget about the horizontal scroll bars for now. We know they're there, and we know we want to get rid of them. We need to be patient so we can do it right and do it once.
