Rules, Conventions and Policies

  • No living persons. For the sake of simplicity, and to maintain some objectivity please do not create pages for living persons. However, it is okay to list living persons as children of profiled people.
  • Document everything! The best way to signify this in the wiki is by using footnotes.1) If you have information that you can't verify, it is okay to include it, just label it so.2)

  • Proper names. There may be multiple persons with similar names so a naming convention is necessary for pages. Last Name, First Name Middle Name should suffice for most, e.g. Doe, John Frank. If the middle name is unknown, use the initial. If there are multiple persons with similar pagenames add the birth year, e.g. Doe, John F 1871.
  • Relation. Only create pages for people related to those who already exist on this site.
