I'm going to go on the record here about a couple things.

1. I do not think the editing policy is outdated. IMHO, it covers everything it needs to.

2. Visually, I don't see a huge difference between the two infoboxes. If some of you feel the older ones look better, that's your prerogative.

3. I'm good (great even, you might say ) at a lot of things, but coding isn't really one of them. I'm not sure what the behind the scenes differences between the two infoboxes are.

All of that culminates in this: I don't think you can change an infobox from the old to the new. If someone has a broken infobox, by all means fix it, but this switch feels a little too arbitrary for my tastes. You certainly could suggest to the author of the page that they check out the newer version and see if they'd be willing to update, but I don't see a need for mandating it. That said, Alex was definitely acting in good faith.
