Another Style Guide for me to write
: Do you mean because they aren't wiki-linked in blue? Or that it should appear as $US12.4 billion ($ placed in front). If it's because it's not wiki-linked, I just thought a good convention would be to link once on the first reference. --[[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 13:50, 15 November 2006 (PST)

::I meant because it wasn't wiki-linked in blue. I think the better convention is to wikilink on all three references to money, because we have no idea which companies will choose to display Revenue, Operating, and Net; versus just Operating and Net; versus just Net. If all three are formatted the same way, deletion of one or more poses no difference in style. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 19:38, 15 November 2006 (PST)
::: How about developing a style guideline that says editors should wikilink the ''first'' reference? That way, if one or more is omitted, at least one will have a wikilink reference. I prefer & use the one reference rule not only for this infobox, but for other Directory & main page articles as well. --[[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 07:35, 16 November 2006 (PST)
::::Okay, after more thought, I do agree. Wiki style is always to wikilink only the first reference, and this will more freely enable eventual conversion to pesos, Canadian dollars, Euros, etc. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 11:06, 16 November 2006 (PST)
