Feedback - suggestion for change
[edit]You might want to consider the following two changes to this template:
- 1. Smaller font for the detail
- 2. Provide show/hide option

Observation
[edit]Just an observation: The navbox seems a bit detailed compared to typical navboxes and seems to cherry-pick certain things. Specifically:
- The list of companies is pretty cherry-picked (and this section is atypical of most navboxes); there are other comparably important businesses omitted
- The education and healthcare sections are a bit specific for a navbox.
- The media section is very trivial for a navbox.

- The companies listed are those which are based in Galveston for whom articles exist.
- The {{Template:Laredo,_Texas}} navbox was used as a template in the creation of this navbox template.
- I get it. But I would argue that "for whom articles exist" is not a good criterion. If an entity is important and an article does not exist then it should be created (at least a stub). By the same token just because an article exists does not mean it merits inclusion.
- WRT Laredo, I would argue that this is not a great navbox either. For one it is way too long. {{Template:New York City}} is a pretty good one. {{Template:Chicago}} and {{Template:SF Bay Area}} are decent too.

- In a small town with a limited number of businesses, especially those of any size, I think the inclusion point becomes moot. If the business article survives based on WP:RS and WP:NOTE, it can probably merit inclusion (based upon the limited number of total businesses).
- WRT Laredo, I wasn't discussing the merits of the Laredo infobox, just simply stating the Galveston one was based upon it. --nsaum75 ¡שיחת! 15:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
OK, whatever. Just suggestions. --Mcorazao (talk) 19:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
