# Philosophers who have made contributions to the philosophy of biology but who do not list phil bio as an AOS/AOC are usually not listed. However, sometimes philosophers' short web bios do not list philosophy of biology as an AOS/AOC, though their expanded bios or personal web pages do.<ref>[http://philosophy.ubc.ca/persons/john-beatty/ John Beatty] at the University of British Columbia is an example.</ref> This wiki simply reflects the self-reports of online faculty listings, which is a way to avoid having to make judgment calls about who counts as a philosopher of biology in borderline cases. The rule of thumb is: someone counts if they say they count.<ref>Erring on the side of being inclusive, however, is generally a good policy since prospective students can peruse publication lists at PhilPapers to help determine whether they think a borderline faculty member should count as a philosopher of biology or not.</ref>
# Bioethics, environmental ethics, philosophy of neuroscience/cognitive science, philosophy of medicine, and history of biology&mdash;in and of themselves&mdash;are not counted as philosophy of biology, though philosophers of biology with those interests are listed.
# <strong>This is a wiki, so anyone can contribute</strong>. If programs or faculty have been overlooked&mdash;which is assuredly the case&mdash;you are encouraged to add them, even if you are not a member of that department. Also, information will date rapidly&mdash;especially, e.g., links to pdf CVs since their filenames often contain the (approximate) dates of creation, which change&mdash;so by all means help keep things up to date. Wiki [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting formatting/markup] is really very straightforward. Just click 'Edit' at the top of the page&mdash;or next to the entry you want to modify&mdash;and mimic the format of existing entries. Questions, comments, ideas? Let [http://shamiller.net me] know at [mailto:shamiller@ucdavis.edu shamiller@ucdavis.edu].
