Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Talk header

Wikipedia:Resolving disputes contains the official policy on dispute resolution for English Wikipedia. Arbitration is generally the last step, when a dispute cannot be resolved by any other means including informal or formal mediation, or by asking the community its opinion on the matter. This page is focused on discussing the requests for arbitration process itself (specifically, the information on the project page attached to this talkpage). Requesting that a case be taken up here isn't likely to help you, but those of us in the dispute resolution community would be happy to assist.

Page display bug

The project page header overprints itself in Safari. In Firefox at least it doesn't overprint, but it still looks weird. I've debugged the problem but the page is protected. Please replace the {{ArbCom notice banner}} in Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Header with the following:

{| style="text-align: left; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid silver; padding: 1em; margin:auto; font-size: 10pt;"
| Please make your request in the appropriate section:
* '''[[#Requests for arbitration|Request a new arbitration case]]'''
* '''[[#Requests for clarification|Request clarification of an existing case]]'''
* '''[[#Requests for amendment|Request an amendment to an existing case]]'''
*: <small>This includes requests to lift sanctions previously imposed</small>
* '''[[#Requests for enforcement|Request enforcement of a remedy in an existing case]]'''
* '''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions|Arbitrator motions]]''' 
*: <small>Arbitrator-initiated motions, not specific to a case</small>
|}

The new box displays as:

Please make your request in the appropriate section: Request a new arbitration case Request clarification of an existing case Request an amendment to an existing case This includes requests to lift sanctions previously imposed Request enforcement of a remedy in an existing case Arbitrator motions Arbitrator-initiated motions, not specific to a case

The result is much more clear, the box repositions nicely as the browser window width is adjusted, and it looks the same in both Safari and Firefox. I could also do without the ArbComOpenTasks to the right of the TOC (above would be nicer), but a little scrolling won't kill me when I'm not in full screen mode.

I have done this, although it still looks a little inconsistent between Opera and IE (the only browsers I have handy here). Please direct any further requests of this nature to Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Clerks, as it's more heavily monitored and one of the clerks is likely to see it much sooner!

Actually it doesn't display as above in Firefox, the text in the box is centred and the squares (they must have a proper name, they are created by the asterisks I presume), look very odd. Chrome looks pretty bad. It looks to me as though there is room for the 'Please make your request' stuff below the text with the info boxes to the right of those links, which would tidy up the page, but I'm not very good at markup.
