::There is nothing there about creating pages on others. It's been done for some highly notable people. [[Jimbo Wales]], for example. Leucosticte created a page on me, [[Abd Lomax]]. It's not particularly offensive, though it points to a page that was intended to be so, from a dead wiki, with the material having been copied by Leucosticte to his wiki, [[RationalWikiWikiWiki]], [http://en.rationalwikiwikiwiki.org/wiki/Abd]. That page gives a warped history of my work, written from a pseudoskeptic RationalWikian perspective, where the primary goal of all RW work was maximized snark. It tells little about my real history, who I actually am, my accomplishments, what I'm known internationally for, though there is a hint about one small facet of my career.

:::"this is a list of people who consider themselves to be part of the wiki community" I'm sure that MZM, Nemo, etc. consider themselves ot be part of the wiki community. Therefore, they meet the criteria. Why don't YOU write an autobiography, if you want that other stuff to be included.
