Well since that’s the new status symbol these days:p. Seriously do you have one (not self made). What do you think about it? Is it accurate? How long is it?
Please do not provide links to said page or any other biographical information.
I do not have a page:( but I am mentioned in one.
I don’t have a page, but some people I have been associated with do.
My claim to Wikipedia fame is that I’m cited at the bottom of several Wikipedia pages.
No, but I have achieved wikipedia immortality by way of a footnote.
As far as I can tell, even my (slightly) more famous namesake doesn’t have his own page!
Phil Plait used to post around here, I believe, as The Bad Astronomer .
edit: I see that you asked for no biographical information, but he’s fairly well known in certain circles.

Jumblejim has a page. Unfortunately he didn’t stick around.
Same with J. Michael Straczynski .
No biographical information but Straczynski joined up with his real name and Jumblejim did not hide his identity.
Which artist do you mean? william Hogareth or Burne Hogath*? They each have their Wiki page:
William Hogarth FRSA (/ˈhoʊɡɑːrθ/; 10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, engraver, pictorial satirist, social critic, editorial cartoonist and occasional writer on art. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", and he is perhaps best known for his series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Familiarity with his work is so widespread that satirical political illustrations in
Burne Hogarth (born Spinoza Bernard Ginsburg, December 25, 1911 – January 28, 1996) was an American artist and educator, best known for his work on the Tarzan newspaper comic strip and his series of anatomy books for artists.
Hogarth was born in Chicago in 1911, the younger son of Pauline and carpenter Max. He displayed an early talent for drawing. His father saved these efforts and some years later presented them and the young Hogarth to the registrar at the Art Institute of Chicago. At age 12...
*Artist who drew Tarzan for the Sunday strips for 12 years, and then came back to him later on!

I don’t, but my husband does.
My grandfather has one about him., as does my great uncle.
One of my Staff Reports is cited on Wikipedia. (Wikipedia credits it to Cecil, although the Staff Report is credited to my real first name.)
A search indicates that my scientific articles are referenced at least 13 times.
Ditto. I actually have an absurd number of cites given the situation, but it tickles me.
I don’t have one, but a family member does.
Although I’ve authored and co-authored (i.e. been the major contributor) to a good number of medical articles, the only explicit mention of my name is in one of the references in this article on Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (and, no, I’m not saying which one ;)).
Yes, I do. It is short but accurate. A friend posted it originally, without telling me. I have edited it to add some personal details in order that someone I knew, say in HS, who came upon would know it was me.
There are at least three other people with the same name on Wiki. I believe I am the only one of the four to have no middle initial.

I do and it is accurate except that they only have my year and not date of birth so my age is not always exactly right.

Did you and your friend have cites?
