Subject Guideline: Biographies
The process should start with looking for multiple reliable and unbiased sources in books and journals to reference from on the topic of choice, especially if the plan is to start a new Wikipedia page. Another contribution may be to expand upon an already existing article that is not well-developed, which are usually rated as either stub or start class. For biographies about a living person, there is a strict policy for reliable sources that when violated could result in immediate removal. Overall, the tone of the article should remain neutral and unbiased, presenting all viewpoints but without any inclination towards one side. Most articles start with a "Lead" section, which serves as a brief summary of the entire article's main points. Particularly for biographies, it is recommended that the first sentence includes the bolded name of the person, birth date and date of death in parentheses, and a short explanation of the person’s notability. After the lead section, there should be a section on early life, providing some context about their childhood, hometown, and relevant early experiences. This is to be followed by a section on career in chronological order, including historical context, the person's actions or defining experiences, then a section on legacy dealing with major contributions to their fields, and finally ending with a list of most notable publications or other works. In the case of biographies on living scientists or academics, the career section should include academic credentials and universities attended, followed by a section on research contributions with a list of notable awards and honors.
