Wikibio is a project of the Institute of Wikipediology, that creates NPOV non-user page sources of information about Wikipedians' activities, history, and wikibeliefs.
Please keep in mind:
Wikibios are voluntary on the part of the subject. Please do not create a wikibio without its subject's participation or consent; if you do so, it will be deleted.
Wikibios are not extensions of user pages. Information about your pet
gecko does not belong here, nor does information not available at wikipedia, even if it is "relevant" — such as e-mails or conversations at meetups.
Wikibios are not vanity pages. Subjects should have at least 5,000 edits (possibly not all in English), have served in an appointed or elected capacity at Wikipedia, and/or have been here at least two years; any—not necessarily all—of these qualifications and have volunteered to be the subject of a wikibio. (These standards may be relaxed over time.)
Wikibios are not
Signpost articles; events described in wikibios should be at least a month old.
Wikibios should be reasonably sourced, using talk pages, nominations, Signpost, etc.

Permission granted
Please add {{wikibio}} to the user page of the subject of a wikibio.
Andrevan - I have created it, but I'm not interested in writing it all myself.
BD2412 - I suppose there's a story somewhere among those 50,000 edits.
Isis- while Isis played a unique role in the history and evolution of the Wikipedia community, given the circumstances of her departure it is most likely impossible that a wikibio could be written on her.
Essjay - Please leave the redirect to my userpage; the bio is hopelessly out of date and rather embarrassing.
