::I'm not a regular editor of these articles and I don't hold especially strong feelings. That said, I think Ryulong's added spaces improve the tables' clarity and readability. I also think that his (or someone's) use of color and special symbols in these tables has been resourceful and helpful. This is true, too, of the use of icons (flags, planes, trains, etc) in the rest of the article  the layout is not overly flashy but it works very efficiently at communicating information. 

 ::The spacing issue is certainly not worth fighting over and I would support whatever other established editors (both anonymous and named) agree on. However the consensus evolves, I hope dissenters will shrug off any disappointment and fall in line. There's just not a lot of "face" to gain or lose on this one. Anyone looking to go to the mat over editing a Wikipedia article would probably find more sport fighting over our Israel and Palestine articles. 

 ::To avoid reinventing the wheel on this issue for every TAR article, I suggest putting a link on the other TAR talk pages to this discussion.
