[edit] Hard working, loyal Boxers
They do serve a useful purpose for certain genre statistics. More generally, they preserve a style across multiple articles, linking them together, and making it easier to find things. For a battle, you can quickly and easily find who participated on each side, and the numbers, information that might otherwise take quite a while of digging through article text. Compare French and Indian War which has an infobox with Chickamauga Wars which doesn't. For a person, you can similarly find important facts, locations, and dates. Compare Robert Monckton which has an infobox with Charles Lawrence which doesn't. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 21:15, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
