First of all, thanks for taking the time to write this all down.

You bring up a valid point about the scripted events template, that made me stop and take stock for a moment, I do have the tendency to things because I can/could, and not stopping to think if I should, with this probably being one of them.

I took the pages you listed and tried the infobox out on them (why didn't I think of this myself?) and surprisingly find that they fit oddly well in my opinion. To me, it is somewhat similar to the Character infobox. Characters with not much information have really short ones with not much information listed in them (thanks to recent edits by Shacob, not that I'm criticizing those), but the infobox does fit there. Not all characters have them, and I imagine the same thing could be done with the Business infobox. (Unless the plan for the character infobox was to give all characters an infobox, which would invalidate this argument.)

On to other technical things; for some reason, the template does not do well with the kind of dark transclusion magic I've pumped into it for this blog. I tested it separately and it aligns well in articles, just like the other infoboxes.

As for the long images, that is a good point, but the way I see it, you don't have to use the logo or banner, you can also just use an image of the sign, as seen in the Fink FMG infobox in the examples section. The width should be stuck at the max of 250px, or the image will resize (such as happens with the infobox of Sander Cohen). This should prevent squashed articles, but don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope this makes this a bit clearer.
