Wikibio is a project of the Institute of Wikipediology, that creates NPOV non-user page sources of information about Wikipedians' activities, history, and wikibeliefs.

Please keep in mind:

• Wikibios are voluntary on the part of the subject. Please do not create a wikibio without its subject's participation or consent; if you do so, it will be deleted.
• Wikibios are not extensions of user pages. Information about your pet gecko does not belong here, nor does information not available at wikipedia, even if it is "relevant" — such as e-mails or conversations at meetups.
• Wikibios are not vanity pages. Subjects should have at least 5,000 edits (possibly not all in English), have served in an appointed or elected capacity at Wikipedia, and/or have been here at least two years; any—not necessarily all—of these qualifications and have volunteered to be the subject of a wikibio. (These standards may be relaxed over time.)
• Wikibios are not Signpost articles; events described in wikibios should be at least a month old.
• Wikibios should be reasonably sourced, using talk pages, nominations, Signpost, etc.

This list is not complete, please expand it (or alphabetize it if you are exceptionally brave).

Permission granted

Please add ((wikibio)) to the user page of the subject of a wikibio.

• Andrevan - I have created it, but I'm not interested in writing it all myself.
• BD2412 - I suppose there's a story somewhere among those 50,000 edits.
• Can't sleep, clown will eat me - Sure, why not. 8-)
• Celestianpower - Thanks those who created
• ClockworkSoul - Go for it. You can ask me anything you like, but I don't have the mental/emotional/physical/temporal resources to write it myself.
• Drini Go ahead, I fullfill a few —not necessarily all— of inclusion criteria.
• Flcelloguy - Umm... why not? I'd rather not write it myself, though, as that would be inherently POV. :-)
• freakofnurture - ok.
• Grunt - well, if you think I'm that important...:) -- Grunt 17:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Guanaco
• Hephaestos - no contributions from me obviously ;)

• ((User:otcnews/wikibios|L. Edward Bache, Sr.,]] created

• KnowledgeOfSelf Sure couldn't hurt, just be nice!
• Linuxbeak Sure, why the heck not.
• llywrch I hope this scavanger hunt doesn't prove that my credit report is findable thru a Google search.
• MacGyverMagic - I'm not sure why anyone would wanna read it, but if someone's up for creating it, I have no objections.
• Merovingian - Why not? :D
• Messedrocker - feel free to write one on myself -- I want to see what a biography of myself not written by me would look like.

• Titoxd - go ahead, I just don't want to do it myself because it borders on WP:VAIN. ;)

Permission denied or creation unlikely

• Isis- while Isis played a unique role in the history and evolution of the Wikipedia community, given the circumstances of her departure it is most likely impossible that a wikibio could be written on her.
• Essjay - Please leave the redirect to my userpage; the bio is hopelessly out of date and rather embarrassing.
