Biography Profiles

What are Biography Profiles?

On IBZIM, Biography Profiles are detailed pages that present factual information about individuals, institutions, places, and other notable entities.

They are created for educational and informational purposes, not for promotion, defamation, or spreading false information.

All biography profiles are available at:
https://www.ibzim.com/profiles 

Types of Biography Profiles

IBZIM supports different types of biography profiles, including:

• People Profiles
  Well-known individuals from fields such as entertainment, sports, politics, and other public areas.

• Institutions
  Schools, businesses, organizations, and similar entities.

• Places
  Important locations such as landmarks, cities, suburbs, and regions.

• Events
  Significant historical or cultural events.

• Days
  Notable days of the year, including holidays and observances.

Each profile type follows the same core structure but may include features specific to that category.

Profile Structure

A typical biography profile is made up of the following sections:

1. Name and Short Description
   A quick summary of who or what the profile is about.

2. Information Table
   A structured table containing key facts.
   This section includes a Report Inaccuracy button that can be used to report missing, outdated, or false information.

3. Detailed Biography
   A full written section that explains background, history, achievements, and relevance.

4. References
   A list of credible sources used to create and verify the profile.

5. Related News
   Recent news articles connected to the profile, where applicable.

Actions on Biography Profiles

Right after the profile title and description, you will find action buttons that allow you to interact with the profile.

Save Profile

You can save a profile to read later.

Gift a Dollar

Some profiles (such as artists or socialites) may include a “Gift a Dollar” button. This allows users to send a small monetary gift to support the individual. It only works for individuals who:

• Have a profile on IBZIM
• Have a verified account
• Have gift receiving enabled
