→Overall "Standards & Rules": We really need three boxes to start.
:: That being said, it would be quite exhausting to try and create every type of infobox one might conceivably need. I'd rather try and harness the wiki open collaboration model to encourage others to help design & publish infoboxes. They should be subject to the same review stds as WP before they are release to the general public. --[[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 14:18, 15 November 2006 (PST)

:::I agree with you in principle. I just think to get a really good headstart on populating this database with the information of "interested first adopters", they should have at least the three basic Infoboxes to choose from -- (A) For-profit corporations, (B) Non-profits, and (C) Human beings. If these are pretty well designed from the get-go, then that minimizes the likelihood of massive re-formatting by all our active members at some point down the road. If I knew how to create a Box format from scratch, I would be happy to do it, but currently I don't. Should that be my next self-improvement task?
:::For example, for "Human beings", I think it would be appropriate to have Birthplace, Birthdate, Marital status, Children, NAICS code of primary occupation, [http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_majo.htm Standard Occupational Code], Employer, Residence location (at least city, maybe street address), Copyrighted works, Skills, and Hobbies. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 19:14, 15 November 2006 (PST)
