[edit] Column ordering

In specification tables, should the "image first, then denomination" apply in cases where there is no image but a link? I reckon not, as the denomination does not stand out as the most important written piece of information. See Moldovan leu for an example

I can see your rationale. But what about consistency? What about Antarctican dollar where there is one image, and others are links? I'm open to suggestions. But from time to time I find it disappointing that many Wikipedians like to suggest things and not take any effort to implement it thoroughly. I am sure you're not one of those, as you are constantly expanding articles. Enough of my rant. I actually have thought about bolding denominations. What do you think? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Luckily, there are less than 50 that transclude {{Standard banknote table notice}} and {{Standard coin table notice}} each. I have been keeping track at User:Chochopk/Currency article status. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Other examples include Mongolian tugrug, Japanese yen. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 02:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed catalogue numbers

(moved from subject space by ChoChoPK)

If you know the catalogue numbers ('KM', 'KMTn', and 'X' (from the Krause catalogues) for coins, 'P', 'PM', and 'PS' (from the Pick catalogues) for banknotes) please include these in the articles. If there are other catalogue numbers, please add these as cross-references. Include the catalogue details in the 'Reference' section at the bottom of each article. Other catalogues that are commonly used are Spink's and Coincraft's catalogues for British Isles coins. Sear numbers are derived from Roman Coins and their Values by David R. Sear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.72.148 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 24 March 2007

Where would you include the article? What about the standard table? How many currencies can you initially implement? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 03:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] style guideline?

I don't have any preference, but it would be nice to have some consistency in which pages move into the "Wikipedia style guidelines" category. This page has seen very little action on either the page itself or the talk page over the last year, which suggests that if you keep it inside your Wikiproject, everyone who's interested in the material will see it. Any objections to leaving this page out of the "Wikipedia style guidelines" category? - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 15:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
