While editors do make selections and edit entries to a standard, the biographies truly belong to the people listed, and reflect what they, themselves, consider to be important in their lives. Biographees are given an opportunity to update their entries through direct communication. We also invite prominent, as-yet unlisted individuals to complete questionnaires from which new biographies are created. Further, editors regularly consult reliable sources of information presented by government, business, academia, associations, and reputable media outlets, in order to update existing biographies or to create new ones. |
