The English Wikipedia often is overdesigned; example:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait (and probably many a lot other
countries).
1. It's hard to edit tables
2. Cut-and-paste does not work that good
3. It isn't browser friendly; in lynx it comes out this way:
CAPTION: Dawlat al Kuwayt
Kuwait flag medium.png KUW-coat.gif

Yes, it's right aligned :-( I'm not sure whether you will rate it as a
lynx bug, though...
