Tables
In general, and this is a personal preference, I find text lists superior to wikitables for flexibility, readability and editability. Unless there are hidden "sort by" or export functions available for wikitables, I don't see any advantage to adding all those bounding boxes and shoehorning data into column headings. (Excellent list, though!) --Dystopos 10:31, 13 September 2006 (PDT)
