Cut information
Hello, Mr. Sargent, and welcome to Memory Alpha. Regarding the information you removed from your page, you stated that such information should only appear in your bio. However, Memory Alpha is an encyclopedia and, as such, includes some brief biographical information, typically including birthdate, place of birth, education, and the like. It is standard practice on Memory Alpha to include a person's birthdate in parentheses immediately following their name (for example, "William Shatner is the Canadian actor famous for portraying Captain James Tiberius Kirk..."). It is also standard practice to include some basic biographical information where available. We've been doing it this way for a while now. If there is some reason you do not want that information on the page, we should probably discuss it here, on the talk page, or, if you prefer, we can discuss it off-site via e-mail. It is my hope, however, that we can use this information (although I will completely understand if you want your current whereabouts removed). Please let me know if you have any further issues with the current information and what you wish to have done. Thank you. :) --From Andoria with Love 15:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
