Strange position of edit links[edit]

I think the use of the First Opium Wars info box is throwing off the [edit] links for sections (at least with IE8). Perhaps this info box should be a panel at the bottom. Don't know how to do that. Nasnema Chat 22:37, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On Firefox, the [edit] links look fine except the one for "Background" is next to the one for "Capture". I think it's caused by there being a lot of text next to the infobox. Expanding the lead (which should happen eventually) should fix the problem. Spellcast (talk) 10:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
