This page leaves out the foremost and literal meaning of the word "profile": a side shot of something, usually a face. Maybe someone who knows something about photography or art history can add this?

I could make one

but what you see here is the extent of my knowledge on using wikipedia.......and my grammar and spelling is awful —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.197.190 (talk) 10:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking up profile in any decent dictionary revels the following meanings:

profile/ˈprəʊfʌɪl/ ▶noun

   1 an outline of something, especially a face, as seen from one side.

   2 a vertical cross section of something.

   ■ a flat outline piece of scenery on stage.

   3 a graphical or other representation of information recorded in quantified form.

   ■ a record of a person's psychological or behavioural characteristics, preferences, etc., so as to assess their capabilities or identify categories of people: they had been using personal details to build customer profiles.

   4 a short descriptive article about someone.

   5 the extent to which a person or organization attracts public notice.

▶verb

   1 describe in a short article.

   2 (be profiled) appear in outline.

   3 shape by means of a tool guided by a template.

This page just describes some special and computer related definitions. This page is a good example of the limitations with wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.155.192.205 (talk) 12:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a Radio Four programme called "Profile" which gives biographical sketches of names in the news. This could be included on this page in Wikipedia. Vorbee (talk) 16:52, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
