Biography pages are made with a 'template' for ease of organization. There are two, currently, "Person", and "PersonDeceased". Which one you use depends... well, you get the idea. You may wish to cut and paste the following into the biography page for "Person" ("PersonDeceased" to follow.)

Person is just the template name. "MainPicture" is a (relatively small) picture of the individual, which has been uploaded into the wiki with the "Upload File" toolbox item (left-hand side of the window.), which will tell you what this filename should be, e.g. "MainPicture=[[File:McGrew.gif]]" would use McGrew.gif (the wiki will not allow two images with the same name within the wiki, so its guaranteed to be the one you want.)

Note the use of the "|" character as a delimiter. Please make sure you use them, or the "Person" template will not display correctly.

"Name=" is the name, e.g. "Name=Charles W. McGrew, MD, Ph.D". Please don't put a "Dr." in front of the name, since pretty much everyone in this wiki is a doctor of something.

"ACMIFellow=" Is the year in which the person was elected to the ACMI, e.g. "ACMI=1987"
