Sure, I can. And I did. And they approved my application.
FWIW, the application process used to be even more onerous. They required a CV from everyone. I and many others refused to apply. Then they made it easier, requiring only a 50 word biography. I thought that was reasonable.
You don't. So don't apply. No big deal.>>
And you by your own admission above, *knew* why they were asking for that information. However they don't state why they are asking. That's my problem. If you are going to require information, you should state why you are requiring it. Not simply that it's required.
This is even more true in the case of wikis where the information is present for... ever.
