The added nbsp makes the space look much to big for me; Unless you intend there to be more space between the "by" and the link than between the other words, I think you may be trying to fix a problem in your browser's rendering here: Italic text and regular text shouldn't need artificial spacing between them. --W(t) 19:45, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)

Remember that unlike in page histories, times on talk pages are not converted by the sytem to local time. Therefore "UTC" should be added and UTC times should be used as parameter. I saw in several pages, e.g. Talk:Albert Einstein, that an unspecified local time was used.--Patrick 09:27, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Regarding nbsp -- sure, I'm trying to fix a problem in my browser's rendering; I've got this odd idea that a page should be readable on all browsers, not just some. A common hard-to-read condition is italic text followed by normal text. Regarding the times, all I do when using this is to cut and paste from the page history. Regarding the addition of that dash -- the second argument is for the date, not the name of the user putting in the template. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 21:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
