Biography policy

  • Anyone dead more than twenty years is fair game for a biography
  • Anyone dead less than that time, or who is alive, should not have a biography on Encyc, unless they are famous enough for a biography in a paper encyclopaedia
  • Exceptions: heads of state and government, Jimmy Wales, and pseudonyms/aliases

Administrators are authorized to remove personal information when they find it. Posting real names, telephone numbers, or addresses of individuals is grounds for blocking under the "threatening/harassment" option. Note that this site has very few administrators and we are not guaranteeing that we will find everything.
