Wikimedia is apparently being filtered by the maintenance on this site.

'''As a result, we have been forced to block several IP addresses, users, and proxies from editing and/or viewing Wikipedia.'''

I noticed that en.wp's Timeline of WWI had a 'details' column and that in many cases it wasn't filled in. So I thought "Aha! A job to do!"

So I've filled in a couple of 'details' links but if you look at August 1 and August 4 you can see that on the right there's a bit of an overhang, like a smaller additional cell in the row. I can't see how I'm causing that to appear. Can someone have a look please? --Bodnotbod (talk) 12:01, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
