Items belonging in multiple sections
Some items listed belong in more than one section (e.g. "Guinea pig" is listed under both "Similarity" and "Reanalysis" &mdash; it could also be listed under "Association with place other than one might assume", though thankfully it isn't).

I propose that to shorten the article, instances be listed only in the first section in which they belong, perhaps with a system of coloured bullets to indicate other sections in which they also belong. Fortunately "Guinea pig" is the only actual duplication I've found, but there are several potential duplications. 217.171.129.69 (talk) 09:20, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Should all the sectionmarks be emboldened, or just those (blue and teal, and perhaps green) which actually need emboldening? BTW, sorry about doing so many edits today, but I keep spotting things which IMO need to be changed. :-) 217.171.129.69 (talk) 13:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The bulleted list in the italicized section explaining that items are in multiple sections isn't rendering properly in IE6. I see html and wiki markup. I don't know if this is an IE issue or just a formatting problem by the author of this section. Steneub (talk) 19:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's how this section is supposed to appear; it's a reference section giving the code sequences for the various coloured sectionmarks, so it's important that the code shows instead of rendering. -- Korax1214 (talk) 10:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
