1. 23skidoo (talk · contribs) — I've created and contributed to a wide range of biography articles. I do not support the assessing of article subjects based upon their perceived importance. That is POV and has no place in Wikipedia.

3. Amerindianarts (talk · contribs) philosophers

5. Badbilltucker 15:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC) - Just about everything I do is biography-related anyway. Oh, and I'm not a bad person. Don't let the name fool you. Or the machete. Or the Uzi. Shutting up now.
6. BaseballBaby (talk · contribs) - I've created biographies and I stand over all biographies with a ready sword to stave off the vandals that would do them harm. (*slaps herself back into sanity*)

39. Philip Cross (talk · contribs) Most of my contributions to WP are to biographies, so adding myself to this list seems perfectly natural.
40. Pinkville (talk · contribs) — I've worked on quite a few biographies and was the principal contributor to the Featured Article on Felice Beato. I'm interested in photographers, particularly those who have worked outside of Europe and North America, and also interested in working on a variety of biographies of people who have previously been marginalised for whatever reason.
41. Plange (talk · contribs) - interested in people from Virginia
42. Quinobi (talk · contribs) I've only written one so far, but I'm also trying to thrash through the WkiProjects and portals to help reorganize them for better alignement to a stucture that makes more sense.
43. Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk · contribs) I enjoy rescuing people from obscurity, my sources are mostly online newspaper archives that have not been indexed by Google, because they are only archived as a raw OCR dump. My favorite activity is to find a notable person that has no Google reference at all. I am a paid subscriber to several archives. I have been criticized for adding people not considered notable, and of being an "inclusionist". I also like to add the image of an obituary to wikicommons, if it is now in the public domain, and transcribe the full obituary for wikisource, so people can check my facts.

49. User:TommyBoy, I have created multiple biography articles, mostly related to politics and government.
50. Vaoverland (talk · contribs) I'm interested mostly in persons in Virginia, West Virginia, and land transportation history.
51. VegaDark (talk · contribs) I've written several already (mostly on sportspersons) and plan on writing more.
52. WBardwin (talk · contribs) I'm strangely obsessed with 19th century biographies, primarily American and European, often dealing with civil rights, western expansion, and religious movements. I've initiated and cleaned up quite a few.
53. Wisekwai (talk · contribs) I have been active in starting biographical articles and stubs about Thai entertainment figures. --Wisekwai 10:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
54. Wjhonson (talk · contribs) I've writen some biographies. I'm currently in a fight over a person who gets zero google hits and yet I believe is notable! :) (fight wiki censorship!) With 1.2 million pages do we really have to fight about notability anymore? Lots of people are obscure but notable! And women don't write history the way men do. We need more female biographies to achieve balance.
55. WikiUser (talk · contribs) — I've already done about 40 biographies, after taking trouble to trawl for hours through the "requested articles" lists on various pages, including the UK wikipedians area. I have written others on other sites to. I've researched with great effort and time to make the articles accurate. I am the resident editor for the biography sections for several people on other non-wiki sites too.
56. Yannismarou (talk · contribs) I've written or rewritten a series of biographies of ancient ans modern Greek politicians and military persons.
