About the "Toapprove" template

Greg, take a look at Ammonia production which has been nominated for Approval. The notification that announces the nomination (created by the "Toapprove" template) has the date written as 20080928.

That is quite cryptic at first glance. Would it not be better if it were written as 2008-09-28? Would you be so kind as to make that change in the template? - Milton Beychok 12:59, 25 September 2008 (CDT)

Weird link bug

Greg, I didn't know who else to alert, so I'm starting with you. Please take a look at this section: CIO/Draft#Further_Reading. There seems to be some some sort of glitch. The code is "[http://books.google.com/books?id=BMZiFI9UNXQC John L. Lewis]. (1986)." So you and I would expect the text to look like this: "John L. Lewis. (1986)." But it doesn't. It looks like this: "John L. Lewis   . (1986)." There is a space between the link and the period. I can't see that I'm coding anything incorrectly. If this isn't your bailiwick, please direct me to who I need to talk to. Thanks. --Russell D. Jones 15:54, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Russell, that bug has existed for years ... even in Wikipedia. It would be nice if it could be fixed. Milton Beychok 15:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
