Karl, I'm wondering about the formatting right here:

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)

Format of the Infobox

Karl, I'm wondering about the formatting right here:

revenue    = US$91.1 billion (2005)[1] |
operating_income = US$12.4 billion (2005)[1]
(10.5% operating margin[2])| net_income = US$7.9 billion (2005)[1]
(9.3% profit margin[2])

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. --MyWikiBiz 13:08, 15 November 2006 (PST)
