What is with the "Defense of the realm" poster on the right of the War Pidgeon article? Judging by the frame it looks like it should be an image, but you can't click on it...except that it contains a clickable link to another Wikipedia article. And the text is so tiny it's hard to read.

The wikisource says it's class="infobox" and it's a <poem>, whatever the heck that means. Bizarre.
