The opening sentence should contain the person's name in bold, but unlike Wikipedia this should not be the full extended name with middle name unless it's a regular part of how people refer to them. For example, it should be **Jerry Harrison** instead of **Jeremiah Griffin Harrison**. The full name should go in the infobox or biography section. Include the birthdate (and deathdate if applicable) in the same way as Wikipedia, using a format like (born May 14th 1952) or (April 19, 1944 – June 24, 2016). Most descriptions can work the same way as a Wikipedia summary, but try to describe what makes them relevant to Talking Heads as early as possible into the summary. This may be brief and then elaborated on further down in their page. Every person and band should have an infobox and a photo where possible. The next section should be '''Connections''' and should list each "connection" to Talking Heads - which can include a lot of things, but for example it should include any of the things that are listed above as criteria for who would have their own article. | |||
Sections for a musician may include sections such as Biography (or divided into sections like Early Life, Career, Personal Life, or whatever else fits their context). A discography section (just summarizing) is recommended for most artists unless they're barely relevant. For example, [[Brian Eno|Brian Eno]]'s page should include more details of his career, in a very summarized version of his Wikipedia page, and include his albums to the same extent that his own Wikipedia article does, both of which should include a ''Main article'' link to the Wikipedia article for his detailed discography. For somebody like [[Johnny Marr]] who is somewhat relevant to Talking Heads, it should likewise mention his albums (including with [[The Smiths]]) but not much more detail is necessary. For somebody like [[Paul Simon]] who is only slightly relevant to Talking Heads, it should pretty much entirely describe his performances with David Byrne without going into any real detail of his own career or listing his own discography. | |||
