Personal pages are fine--certainly allowed--but generally people try to avoid using names that we would need an article on, and I imagine that if say Bill Clinton were to take an interest in the project and decide to start contributing, we'd have to ask him to come up with a username and put his personal page there. Generally we try to keep articles separate from personal stuff, though I know that's not obvious the way things are now since it's all in the same namespace. Anyway, so far as personal pages go, some are very modest, others not so modest; some tell where people work or study, and list email addresses and homepages; others don't even give real names ... ;-) They're personal homepages, and people just generally do whatever they want to on them (I suppose there should be some obvious exceptions, such as libel). Does anyone know if we have proposed any rules for homepages? I can't remember any, but I've only been around since March. --KQ |
