Guidelines

name

This is the name that scientist was usually known by. Do not put the full expanded name here.

image

This is the portrait or photo of the scientist. If there is a choice between good images, chose the one from a period where the scientist's work flourished. Avoid photos where the scientist was a child or very elderly, unless there is nothing else available.

image_size

This should normally be left at the default image size which will let users change the size to their own preference.

alt

This should describe only the visual appearance of the image, for visually-impaired readers. It should not repeat the caption. See WP:ALT.

caption

The caption should contain the full expanded name of the scientist, year or birth and death, if available, and any relevant details about the photo or portrait.

birth_name

Birth name of scientist. Use only if different from name in header. This parameter will be displayed in the "born" field, before birth date and birth place.

birth_date

Birth date of scientist. Use the full formatting that computes the scientist's age.

birth_place

Birth place of scientist. Put town/city followed by country.

death_date

Death date of scientist. Use the full formatting that computes the scientists age.

death_place

Death place of scientist. Put town/city followed by country. Note: this is the place where the person died, which might be different from burial place.

resting_place

Where the scientist was buried, or their ashes scattered

resting_place_coordinates

WGS84 coordinates for the মডেল:Para. Only use if known precisely (i.e. do not give generic coordinates for the cemetery). Use {{Coord}}.

residence

List countries only. Put a line break after each one. These are places where the scientist lived for significant periods. The intention is that these are countries of domicile. Do not include countries where the scientist temporarily resided for brief collaboration or study leave.

citizenship

List countries only. Put a line break after each one. This is the scientist's citizenship, which often can be different from country of domicile or residency.

nationality

List country only. Only insert this if it is different from citizenship.

fields

List the scientist's principal field(s) of work as described in the article, e.g. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Molecular biology, Electronic engineering etc. Avoid using occupations, e.g. Physicist, Zoologist, Surgeon, Inventor.

workplaces

List the key work places, universities, companies, organizations etc. that the scientist worked at. The intention is to not list minor places that the scientist performed collaborative visits at. The intention is to list places where the scientist was officially appointed with a payroll (ie. don't list places that represent adjunct appointments).

alma_mater

List the universities where the scientist obtained all his/her degrees from. In anomalous cases where a degree was carried out remotely or in a different university to the university that administered the degree, insert the administering university. The main article can then discuss the specific situation.

thesis_title

If the scientist obtained a PhD, insert the thesis title. Otherwise leave blank.

thesis_url

E.g. a link to the abstract of the thesis at a university library or link to a PDF on the scientists homepage.

doctoral_advisor

If the scientist obtained a PhD, insert the doctoral advisor(s). Otherwise leave blank.

academic_advisors

Insert names of significant academic teachers other than the doctoral advisor: e.g. Master's advisor, postdoctoral supervisor, significant undergraduate mentor/teacher etc. In Cambridge, before 1919, there was no PhD and so you can insert the relevant Cambridge tutor.

doctoral_students

Insert names of doctoral students supervised by the scientist. If a student does not have a wiki article, then comment the name out. It can be reinstated once such an article appears. The idea is to list only those students who are significant enough to warrant their own article.

notable_students

Insert names of any notable non-doctoral students taught or supervised by the scientist. These can be undergraduates, postdocs, masters students etc. If a student does not have a wiki article, then comment the name out.

known_for

Insert the key topics/areas for which the scientist is notable, e.g. 'discovering the electron'. In the case of prolific scientists, preferably list the discoveries named after the scientist, e.g. 'Maxwell's equations'. In the case where a scientist is so prolific that a whole wiki article listing the discoveries exists, then you may insert a simple link to that page with the words 'see list'.

author_abbrev_bot

If a scientist is the author of a botanical species, insert their botanical author abbreviation here. Otherwise leave blank.

author_abbrev_zoo

If a scientist is the author of a zoological species, insert their zoological author abbreviation here. Otherwise leave blank.

influences

List names of any notable people who influenced the scientist significantly. The intention is to only list those influences that had physical contact with the scientist. Do not insert those influences that were not in person (e.g. via study of works or books) as this is more tenuous and there are generally too many for each scientist. Only list those who are notable enough to warrant a wiki article.

influenced

List names of any notable people who were significantly influenced by the scientist. The intention is to only list those that were influenced by physical contact with the scientist. Only list those who are notable enough to warrant a wiki article.

awards

List major awards. Put year of award in brackets after name of award. Insert a line break after each award. Avoid awards that are not significant enough to withstand their own wiki article description.

signature

Filename of an image of the scientist's handwritten signature (if available).

signature_alt

Alt text for the signature. Typically this is just the text of the signature, e.g., "Is. Newton" for File:Isaac Newton signature.svg.

website

Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}} as {{URL|www.example.com}}.

footnotes

For any footnotes needed to clarify entries above. This section is also often used to add extra notable items, typically, if the scientist is a relative of another person with a wiki article.

common errors to avoid

* Always copy and paste the infobox template from here, not another article, in order to guarantee the full correct version.* If a field does not apply leave it blank. Do not delete it. This is because is acts as a place holder and future editors may find a field applies after all. You may put a comment in the blank field that it is not applicable if you are sure of this.
