Talk:Smallville Big Bang

Why does it need cleanup? o_O ETA: I mean it looks pretty clean to me. I formatted it right, added an image, listed the contents, added the explanation from the challenge page. The only thing still missing are the names of the artists but that is because I would have had to click every single piece of fanart to see who made it and I didn't have time for that. So I indicated that the artist names are still to come. Should I remove the word "artist"? --Doro 08:04, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it's not the content that I was inferring needed clean up -- the glob of text of stories is really ugly and hard to read. Please don't take offense! I'm a formatting kind of person, with a typographical background. ETA: I probably should have realised with only a few regular editors it's best if I don't defer the tidying up of things that annoy me :D--Awils1 08:13, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean when you say glob of text. It doesn't look like a glob of text to me. *is even more confused* --Doro 08:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I've made some changes that look better, imho. I'm really sorry! This is the page as I saw it. What browser are you using? There maybe a CSS issue with Chrome/Chromium.

That's the way it looked for me too. I messed up with The Beauty and the Beast but the rest looked exactly like I wanted it to look. :( That's not a glob of text to me. There are line breaks and everything. You wikilinked the names and made the titles bold instead of capital letters but that are different stylistical choices and not drastical different formatting or cleanup. --Doro 08:35, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I actually used a definition list (';' on the first line, ':' on the second, so on and so forth) to separate the title versus summary. This imposes hierarchal structure (meaning that it's readable by screenreaders and browsers in a semantic way for both machine and user) and I think you'll find there's a subtle difference in line breaks and indentation versus a definition list in terms of styling. This is a HTML thing -- if there's markup to do it with, rather than hard coding line breaks which are inflexible, use the markup. I'm sorry for putting the cleanup tag and being lazy, but I do think there is a substantial difference behind the scenes. Also, please don't take this as anything more than a slightly pedantic noting -- it's nothing personal and if I had a million arms and a million spoons, I'd go through and fix all the articles I've noticed up with the same sort of markup. --Awils1 08:44, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
