In "People" page: Replace "About" with "About Me" +3

Edit this Page

Problem:  Confusion or abuse occurs on "People"  profile pages, where some users create pages that are actually organizations or other entities. Sometimes it amounts to 'double-dipping', with entities listed in two locations.

 

This suggestion is an outgrowth of the "Organizations as People" suggestion, and offers a specific and distinct enough solution to warrant a separate suggestion. 

 

Solution:  Simply change the title "About" on the box designated for the user to describe that user/individual's life/accomplishments/goals/experience, to "About Me"  [emphasis added].  This change removes one point of confusion or excuse for abuse.  

 

This should be a relatively simple change to effect, and might have a significantly useful result. 

 

Okay, let's hear it!!   Give it up!!   Yeehaw!!    Hah hah!

Ah, not so easy then :-)

Good to know.

Hey guys, it's a great idea and we should probably extend this idea to the other records - "About this organization", "About this event", etc.  However, all our records run off one template right now, so customizing one means we'd have to separate it from the pack and create a stand-alone copy, which will take a little more time.  We're working right now on some bugs and UI issues to clean up, so we'll re-evaluate where we can fit this idea after we're done with the bug-fixing.
