      Hi, Pierre. You had a bunch of person-related properties associated with your (this) user. I created a discrete Person instance to represent you as a person, distinct from a user account, and moved those properties over there. Please take a look at see that they’re correct. Thanks.

        OK, I saw http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000007629113

        thank you, but what  "bunch of person-related properties associated with your (this) user" are you talking about ? Why should I have a distinct instance of person *and* my freebase user profile ?

        The person-related properties you had were: gender, profession, and software developer software type.

        Freebase makes a distinction between people and the user accounts used by those people. For one thing, a person might have multiple accounts; for another, user accounts are used by the system to track changes to data, write quotas, and things like that. Also, only a user (or administrator) can alter a user, while anyone can alter a person; the person is just another kind of community data, like the city in which you live or the school which you attended. (As Kirrily discussed on our mailing lists, we are considering drawing a distinction between public (or “notable,” as Wikipedia calls it) people and other people, and moving some more sensitive properties away from ordinary people for privacy reasons.)
