Starting a new profile

The format for a new profile of an individual - such as the hypothetical 'Fred Nurk' - is roughly as follows.

The key points:
 * when you use two ' sequentially you start italics (remember to close them), three is bold - generally only used for the first use of the name.
 * where using a quote the first time from a source on the web, at the end of the first par put the web address in square brackets - that is the equivalent of creating a link but also giving a numerical footnoting,
 * in the external links section add the full reference in order they are cited in the text
 * if you are uncertain you can experiment in the sandbox.
 * don't worry about making mistakes -- others can come along and tidy any errors.
