::: This Wiki does not even have a Village Pump. To compare it with Wikipedia seams to be of little or no use at all. We also got not [[God-king]] (thanks for creating this page finally). We got no structure at all. Therefore we got to start rock bottom. It is amazing how much one or many can neglect to do within 8 years. I think the negligence is all more or less build on the clouded "envisioning" of Mark being a leader of this wiki. But actually we got only an domain owner and no leader at all. Therefore, attempts to clarify policy can easily blow this wiki.

As the author of a vast majority of this site's [[:Category:Wiki People|wiki people]] articles, I think we need some policies regarding said articles. Perhaps what would be prudent is a rule about giving out personal info (i.e., birthdays, selfies, real names, etc.) or at least keeping the person's bio wiki-related. What do you guys think? --[[User talk:Rock-O-Jello|This is MY book, and I'm gonna READ IT!!!]] 11:34, 17 January 2017 (PST) | |||
The question is, who qualifies as wiki person? Just any one who once edited a wiki? --[[User talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 10:13, 18 January 2017 (PST) | |||

:'''Agreed''' We need to discuss the who's and the what's. ''Who'' would merit an entry in WikiIndex and ''what'' should we allow/encourage others to publish? One thing that I've considered is reserving shorter bios for the article about the wiki itself and in the case of personalities who are not associated with a single wiki to make a page for that person. Regarding what can be included, I think some info should be obvious, regarding the law (no SSNs, no real names of someone who is a private figure, etc.) but there should also probably be a measure of civility when it comes to disagreements or controversies. We are in a bit of a pickle because on the one hand we want this to be a welcoming place that encourages members of the WikiSphere to talk about their own wikis and experiences but we also ''don't'' want this to become a gossip clique or self-promotional spam.

Common sense has to be the starting point as to ''what'' we write here on WikiIndex. I would like us to follow same principles used for biographies on the [[English Wikipedia]] for living people. I have noticed (during my extended sabbatical) many wiki people articles here have been dramatically trimmed down - some are now verging on being a stub article. Fundamentally, if specific information about a wiki person is already in the public domain - and is related to their wiki activity, then we should also use said info here on WikiIndex. Furthermore, because these 'wiki people articles' are what could be considered a biography, we can also feasibly include a wider range of info on said person.
