[edit] Academic Impact

I'm sure the template form exists, but I haven't been able to find it. Basically what I want is a template of the form:

Academic Impact
Notable teachers:
Alfred North Whitehead
Notable students:
Donald Davidson
David Lewis
Daniel Dennett

(This example would go in the article W.V.O. Quine.) So I would need to have a template form flexible enough to have lists of indeterminate size in each of the two given areas.

[edit] Featured articles in other languages

Template:FAOL is a widely used template in talk pages to point out to featured articles in other languages. eg:

Other languages The WikiProject Echo has identified that Article X is a featured article at the German language Wikipedia. You may be able to improve this article with information from de:Artikel X.

However, if an article have many featured equivalent in other languages, many templates would be added, encumbering the talk page (see Talk:Adolf Hitler).
So Could someone help me in improving this template so that is takes conditional parameters over the number of languages without creating {{FAOL-1}}, {{FAOL-2}}, {{FAOL-3}}... different templates for each number of other languages article. It would be like this:

Other languages The WikiProject Echo has identified that Article X is a featured article at the German language and French language Wikipedia. You may be able to improve this article with information from de:Artikel X and fr:Article X.

I made some changes to allow this. See Talk:Adolf Hitler for an example and Template talk:FAOL for more information. --CBDunkerson 20:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Investor relations template

I think it is a very interesting thing to know about (at least the bigger) corporations who they are owned by and who owns them. Ours is a capitalist world and these relations are essential to see relations between 'global players'. At least for US companies the neccessary data is public and could be obtained from the SEC. General Electric already has a list of subsidiaries, for example.85.182.0.97 12:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

This seems more like a WikiProject to review and update all of the corporation articles with the proper information. Wikipedia:Companies, corporations and economic information is an existing Wikiproject for coordinating this kind of company info. To help with that I added 'parent' and 'subsid' parameters to {{Infobox company}} as a possible place to store the information. --CBDunkerson 13:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, that's (nearly) exactly what I was looking for. As soon as I can spare a little time I'm gonna register and fill some of those templates. :) 85.182.7.61 01:57, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
