What should be included in a Biography?

From Biographies

What would you like to be remembered about you?

Some "facts" that are commonly included are date of birth (and death, if applicable), location of birth, nationality, other places lived for significant times, schools attended or graduated, degrees, jobs. Often related people are included - parents, spouses, children, siblings, other people who were major influences or influenced by the subject of the biography.

Since this is a wikia and the biographies are not limited to famous people, I suggest including a wider, more flexible set of things than the normal "bio". You could include things about your values, favorite books, political affiliations, voluntary postions (president of the stamp collecting club, weekly delivery of food for shut-ins), or activities. Maybe include information about the Wikia where you actively contribute?

Please keep in mind that anyone can read what you post on the Web, and what you think is humorous may not be funny to a person doing the hiring in a company you're interested in later.
