== Format of the Infobox ==
Karl, I'm wondering about the formatting right here:
revenue = [[United States dollar|US$]][[Revenues:=91100000000|91.1 billion]] (2005)<ref name="morningstar">{{cite web|url=http://quicktake.morningstar.com/Stock/Income10.asp?Country=USA&Symbol=IBM&stocktab=finance&pgid=qtqnnavfinstate |title=IBM Stock Report |accessdate=2006-06-27 |publisher=[[Morningstar, Inc.]]}}</ref> |
operating_income = US$12.4 billion (2005)<ref name="morningstar"/><br/> (10.5% [[operating margin]]<ref name="reuters">{{cite web|url=http://www.investor.reuters.com/business/BusCompanyOverview.aspx?ticker=IBM&target=%2fbusiness%2fbuscompany%2fbuscompfake%2fbuscompoverview&cotype=1M |title=IBM: Company Overview |accessdate=2006-06-27 |publisher=[[Reuters]] }}</ref>)|
net_income = US$[[Net Income:=7900000000|7.9 billion]] (2005)<ref name="morningstar"/><br> (9.3% [[profit margin]]<ref name="reuters"/>)
Notice that the Revenue looks nice (with United States dollar referencing), but that Operating Income and Net Income don't seem to look as "clean". If this is something that could/should be cleaned up, better that we do it now, and not after dozens of Corporate Infoboxes are in place. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 13:08, 15 November 2006 (PST)
