Ok, let's start discussing... What does everyone think about the standards and conventions for biographies so far? What do we need to add? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 14:34, 21 August 2006 (CDT)

Only if really really need should there be more than one level heading. under a main header ex.

== Hi ==
=== About Hi ==
=== Lordy ==
== BSG ==

The correct way would be, e.x.

== Hi ==
== BSG ==

Three paragraphs or less per heading. That is about it on my end. --Shane (T - C - E) 22:56, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
The policy looks pretty reasonable to me. In practice, we'll see how it goes. :) --Spencerian 16:27, 23 August 2006 (CDT)

The Flag

I added {{flag|US}} to help also. Gives the bio. page more than just text. An example is placed on the main project page. --Shane (T - C - E) 16:16, 23 August 2006 (CDT)

For some reason I can't see the flag... hmm... -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 21:20, 23 August 2006 (CDT)
The SVG files for the american flag is not working. I think it might have something to do with the SVG support on the server itself. Currenlty at a friends house fixing their wireless internet on a laptop so I can't get on gtalk right now.--Shane (T - C - E) 21:24, 23 August 2006 (CDT)

Ready for rollout

Since there discussion seems to have ended regarding this, I'm going to roll out these conventions officially. Obviously, as we go along, we'll modify it as required. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 18:43, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
