      I think the profile pages could be displayed better, so I was experimenting and came up with something I think looks a lot cleaner. The things I changed from the current display were:

      Added some CSS to make the definition lists display like tables (I used some CSS from another site but I know we have some CSS that does something similar somewhere already)

      Removed the "My account" row of links, because they're all available in the account menu already.

      Moved "Member since" from the "User Statistics" section to the "General Information" section. That just leaves edit statistics in that section. I turned it into a table similar to the votes table, gave it a heading and shortened the names (we could add title attributes or something which clarify which edits are included).

      Added a tab for ratings, added some more rows to the edit statistics table, moved the view votes/edits links to the statistics tables and then removed the "Editing" row of links. It might look better if the edit counts are right aligned...

      Moved "Send email" to the email row and "Nominate for autoeditor" to the user type row and then removed the "Contact" row of links.

      Removed the "Subscriptions" row, since we have a tab for that.

      Changed (none) to 0 when there are no subscribers to a user, since it's an integer and 0 makes more sense to me (it also makes it clearer to me that it's the number of people subscribed and not a list of people subscribed).

      Renamed the "User Statistics" section to just "Statistics" (I would hope it's obvious that statistics on a user's page are statistics for that user), changed the "Votes" heading into a table heading and then made the table of edit counts and vote counts display side by side.

      Most of those are just minor changes, but I'm not sure if we have anything to fetch the number of open/cancelled edits to add rows for those values...
