Infobox
As a first thought, the infobox is highly inappropriate in my humble opinion. Terms like "Industry", "Products" or "Revenue" are inadequate in the context of Humanitarian assistance. Either make a specific box for organizations in this field, or leave it out. --Uwe 10:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, it's not really appropriate, but it is used for other organizations like Greenpeace for one. I'm debating whether to just make a specific box like you said, or propose a new template for non-corporate NGO's at the proposal subpage of List_of_infoboxes/Society. - Draeco 12:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * As I see it, it's equally inappropriate for Greenpeace as well. MSF, Oxfam or AI don't have it (yet?). But who am I to criticise just another speciality of the English Wikipedia, namely its excessive use of infoboxes, navigation bars, and similar stuff :o). --Uwe 14:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed - Draeco 16:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I proposed a new infobox type here, but I doubt its chances, and in the meantime I created a custom userbox. - Draeco 05:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
