Removed infobox

I removed the infobox since it was redundant, incorrect, and misinformative. The area of the archipelago is much less than 13 km2; the length spanned is about 10 km, the height is over 100 m. In any case, the parameters for the archipelago as a whole are largely useless. Besides, the tabular format is boring, wastes lots of valuable screen estate, and too inflexible (for example it does not allow for the "seventh brother" being actually a peninsula!) Indeed it is harder to find data in an infobox than in a well-structured running text. Finally, having an infobox at the top of the article's source scares new editors away.
Anyway here is the infobox source, if you really must put it back:

{{Infobox islands
| name             = Seven Brothers Islands
| image name       = Seven Brothers (islands).jpg
| image caption    = 
| image size       = 256px
| locator map      = 
| nickname         = 
| location         = [[Bab-el-Mandeb]]
| coordinates      = {{coord|12.282744|N|43.254623|E|scale:500000|display=inline}}
| archipelago      = 
| total islands    = 6
| major islands    =
| area_km2         = 13
| length_km        = 7
| width_km         = 3
| highest mount    = 
| elevation_m      = 62
| country          = {{DJI}}
}} 

But if you do put it back, please fix the data! --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 06:18, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
