== Overall "Standards & Rules" ==
Karl, I have examined the site pretty carefully today, and I am seeing as a result of that the following "priority" issues that we should address as quickly as possible (before much more content is added):
We need to devise ''final'' '''Infobox Standards''' for the following entities:
:*Public for-profit corporations
:*Private for-profit firms (which may be satisfied above)
:*Non-profit entities
:*Human beings (whether they are business officers, celebrities, artists, or job-seekers)
And I think we need to devise '''Rules of Style''' for:
:*Names of human beings (am I Greg Kohs, Gregory Kohs, Gregory J. Kohs, or Gregory James Kohs?)
:*Names of companies (is it International Business Machines Corporation, International Business Machines Corp., IBM Corporation, IBM Corp., or IBM?)
:*Occupational titles (the semantic search is really thrown off when someone might be "CEO", "Chairman", and/or "CEO and Chairman" (or, "Chairman and CEO"; or, "CEO & Chairman" with an ampersand))
Without establishing early and firmly some rigid and comprehensive structures that ''work well'', we're going to be facing potentially massive re-formatting in three months' time, updating the work of many, many different visitors/owners. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 13:41, 15 November 2006 (PST)
