wiki babe (biographies) - standards

[GodsEmbryo]

Are there any standards (general rules) for editing the wiki pages? Let me give some examples to explain my question.

1. Language issues:

I live in Belgium and we have three official languages: Dutch, French and German. Brussels for example can be written as: Brussel (Dutch), Bruxelles (French) or Brüssel (German). Yes, I live in a crazy country.
So, if I want to fill in the place of birth for a babe, which one do I choose? Or do I choose the English name (Brussels) since English seems to be the main language on FreeOnes?
The information we provide is used for the Advanced Search option. I know 'Place of Birth' is not one of the possible options if I want to do an advanced search on a babe, so it's not that big a deal. But then again... Maybe in a future you will have the option to search on babes born in a certain place?
And imagine the 'fun' when reviewing the made changes. Who knows for example that Elsene (Dutch) and Ixelles (French) are the same town? I think I'm going to have some fun with that and earn me some points

2. How much is allowed in 'Free Text'?

What is relevant and what not? I think it could be relevant to mention that a babe has been on the cover of Playboy. But is it relevant to type an entire biography, list of movies, or to know she's married too X and has Y kids? If I remember correctly it is against the rules to reveal private information (like real name, address) of a babe. But in that same context, why would it be ok then to reveal she is married to X and has Y kids? Which is also information that can be used to track the real name of the babe. What is private here? I know it is revised and has to be approved but... Where are the boundaries?

3. Source

Do I alway give a source of changed / added information?

Again, I know it is revised and has to be approved, so it's not that big a deal, but I'm a perfectionist

It doesn't really matter which you type in. More than likely the english version will be added, especially if it contains any non-latin characters like Brüssel (this is an issue with the php, not language...the code the site is made with DOES NOT like non-standard characters).

Use common sense. If you copy/paste it from wikipedia or some other place on the internet word for word, we can't use it. But if you have data that's relevant and would be of interest to others, by all means add it.

If who she's married to, how many kids she has, etc is public knowledge (ie we can put her stage name in and it comes up) then we'll be happy to add that too.

By giving the source we can check up the validity of the info you're providing. Some people just change stuff because they can, not because it's relevant or correct.
