Country/countries edit

Oh dear - I want to improve the template but I slightly hate what I have done so far!

My problem is that we say "Country of origin" and we then go to the rather non-minor player Galileo (satellite navigation) and it tells us that the EU is a country. It just isn't, and to say otherwise is just uncomfortably wrong, and the sort of thing which an encyclopaedia didn't ought to do.

So I changed it to country/ies, which is sort of fine (the EU is a group of countries, and if say a Mexican/Bermudian/Scottish GPS system happens, then that's OK too) ... BUT there is the small drawback that it looks absolutely dire and I hate it.

Does anyone have a better idea please? My own view is that "country", singular, is not an option, but surely there must be something less sh*t than what I've done, yesno?? Best wishes to all DBaK (talk) 19:42, 18 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Orbital period edit

I'd like to add the orbital period below the orbital height, any objection? The RedBurn (ϕ) 09:08, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
