my take
:::*On Wikipedia, if a politician's infobox lists his/her alma mater (and many [[Wikipedia:Charlie Crist|don't]]), that field doubles as a link to the corresponding Wikipedia article on the school. We generally only link to local schools.
:::It's important to keep infoboxes to a reasonable size because they use the same "float:right" CSS as images, which means if you add an illustrative image to an article with an infobox, that image gets bumped below the infobox instead of appearing inline with the article text. The [[John Appleyard]] article is an example of this. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 15:37, 5 August 2008 (CDT)
If anyone wants my take on it — I don't favour adding education or gradchildren values. I think the infoboxes are big enough as is. We already have a problem with many articles having more in their infoboxes than in the actual article.
