[edit] Colours

We'd have to decide on the colour to use. I was thinking of the colour of the insignia (let's call it insignia green :) ), it seems much more neutral. As a matter of fact any colour would do instead of the current brownish. I don't like it at all and it doesn't go well with the shoulder straps and the medal ribbons.

[edit] default picture size

Why exactly does the template include a default resize code for the picture? Shouldn't that be left open for the person using the templete to decide what size the picture should be?--Kross 10:52, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

And why exactly should it be left to the person using the template? AFAIC, the current system is simply faster and easier to use. Halibu tt 13:50, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
