"Characteristics" sounds too much like something one would look for on the back of a pokamon card. I'm sorry, Supe, but it does. Aside from that, it might be something you might look for in creating a character for a novel. We are dealing with reality, not fiction. Whereas there is a place for character traits in a sermon, the end of a wiki article is probably not where one would want to put that. It is quite objective, with the writer giving his accessment of the person being "documented." It is not the place of the article to make these judgments. It is better to discuss such things in a blog or in the talk section of the article.

The word "Biography" means a "writing about a life." Therefore "About" is saying the same thing. Besides, the section can include not only the person, but such things as the background and family. That is exactly what AC has done with his outline. The only difference would be to move the "Legacy" into a heading of its own. In that section one can put such things as crossreferenced mentions of the person throughout the Bible. If the person is "known" for his or her character traits later on, then those can go under "Legacy. Another thing that can go there is notable descendants (the physical "legacy").

We are not reinventing the encyclopedia here. There are entries for people in Bible Dictionaries and Encylcopedias that can guide us. It looks like AC's outline does a good job of presenting a person. We must not lose sight of the actual "Intro" to the person, in which the essensials of the person are presented. For many articles, only the Intro and Infobox will be necessary.

Short answer: I like what AC has presented, with the exception of moving the "Legacy" section into a heading of its own.
