: I think the for-profit infobox_company works equally well for either public or private firms. There's only a few major sections that need data elements - public information is merely a subset within certain sections. All one needs to do for private firm is eliminate unnecessary data references within those respective sections.--[[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 14:05, 15 November 2006 (PST)

And I think we need to devise '''Rules of Style''' for:
:*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))
:*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)
: Agreed. With regards to IBM, et al, this is a good example of the need for redirects. (It's also the reason why the info box has a "legal name" element as well eg Karl Nagel & Co. vs Karl Nagel & Co., LLC.)
:In reference to names/titles, if they don't have their own page/article or they're not captured as a data element, then I don't see the need for consistency. That is, if foo uses CEO and bar uses Pres & CEO, who cares?
:See [[IBM]] key people as an example. Now, if titles '''were''' being captured, it would be another story. --[[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 14:05, 15 November 2006 (PST)

I tried to upload the IBM corporate logo (copied from Wikipedia -- let them sort out the copyright issues), but the Centiare server said that .PNG was an invalid format. Do you have any comments about how/whether/why/what we should do about corporate logos and other images? --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 13:49, 15 November 2006 (PST)
