CZ Talk:Business Workgroup

Special or Standard Content Boxes

Is there a standard structure for articles on companies? Do you have under development standard content blocks like the Wikipedia "Infobox Company" or are we just using their structure? Is there a place where these structures can be customized for Citizendium? Robert Winmill 11:19, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

There isn't anything standardized yet. You might make a proposal, however. Please do. You would link to a new page from the workgroup from page; see CZ:Classics Workgroup for an example--it links to CZ:Classics Workgroup Guidelines/Section about original sources. The next step would be to see if we can get some of our many business editors to comment on it. This would be very useful, so please have at it. --Larry Sanger 11:48, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

my proposal:

Infobox Organization

start template | org_name = legal name, common name

| org_homepage = http web address

| org_logo = graphic

| org _parent = name of organization

| org_form = rpivate, foundation, corporation, etc...

| org_ownership_type = stockholders, group membership, etc...

| org_ind_rank = number

| org_foundation_date = year, month, day

| org_founded_by = name

| org_divisions = list

| location_street = street address, postal box, etc...

| location_city = name of city and postal code

| location_state = state or major political division

| location_country = un legal name of country, country code

| category_prime = industry name, area of prime concern

| prime_function = profit, public service, governance, etc...

| org_leader = name of top leader and position

| org_revenue = sales, donations, published budget, etc...

| org_income = if profit company

| org_employees =

end template

who would implement this template, when, etc...? Robert Winmill 14:07, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
