Formatting[edit]

The text is "wrapped" around the small square Table of Context box in order to avoid ugly gaping holes of blank space. Try alternatives yourself and see the effect . There is currently an editor going about making a mess of carefully formatted articles to satisfy some obscure personal agenda. --Wetman 21:33, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is not obscure or personal, it was the overwhelming feeling of the VfD discussion for this template. The whitespace generated by a four item Table of Contents is is no way a problem for the layout of any article, let alone this one. There is a reason for the default TOC being as it is, if most people found it ugly it certainly wouldn't be the default. There is no way TOCright or TOCleft are justified for a four item TOC. Saying "every sensible adult" would support its use on these pages is certainly not the case, most sensible adults were and are against its use except as a last resort for long TOCs, and the majority of sensible adults continue using the default TOC in their articles. If you wish to go on abusing this template by using it where it is not remotely neccesary, you may be turning those who voted to keep it as a last resort off it altogether.

The content table on the right looks horrible and un-natural on Wikipedi (IMHO, of course). Pavel Vozenilek 21:47, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Place of death[edit]

The infobox says Drexel died in Philadelphia. The main article says he died in Europe. Which is it? Fishyfred (talk) 08:02, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This Article is Very Incomplete[edit]

This article is very incomplete and unfinished. It has some info. on his early life and impact but nearly nothing on the latter part of his life, along with the incongruity mentioned above regarding his place of death... Stevenmitchell (talk) 23:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Place of death issue resolved above. Some information from the Banks he helped found could help bolster the article |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 00:26, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
