James Bond:

Born: 1953
Birthplace: Fiction
Best known as: Secret agent star of Goldfinger and other films
James Bond was created by author Ian Fleming and remains one of the most famous secret agents in modern fiction. Bond is a cool, handsome, dangerous agent for British Intelligence; his code number, 007, indicates that he has a "license to kill" in the line of duty. Bond travels the globe and uses his wits, fighting skills and a grab-bag of high-tech gadgets to battle super-villains often bent on world domination. (The gadgets, which played only a small role in Fleming's early novels, became a Bond trademark in the movies.) A few of Bond's personal traits have become famous, including his preference for martinis made with vodka and "shaken, not stirred," his use of a Walther PPK handgun, and his habit of introducing himself as "Bond... James Bond." Fleming wrote about Bond in a series of novels that ran from 1953 to 1964, including Casino Royale (1953), From Russia With Love (1957) and Goldfinger (1959); later the series was carried on by authors John Gardner and Raymond Benson. The popular Bond movie series began with 1962's Dr. No and extended into the 21st century, with Bond played by a string of actors including Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

The author's biography:

Born: 28 May 1908
Died: 12 August 1964 (pleurisy and internal bleeding)
Birthplace: London, England
Best known as: The creator of James Bond 007
Ian Fleming is the creator of the fictional superspy James Bond. Bond is a suave, lady-killing British agent who travels the globe, battles super-villains bent on world domination, and famously prefers his vodka martinis "shaken, not stirred." After publishing his first Bond adventure, Casino Royale, in 1953, Fleming wrote one Bond book each year until his death. The stories spawned a highly profitable movie series which continued into the 21st century, with Sean Connery and Roger Moore the most famous actors to play Bond. Fleming also wrote a series of travel books and the popular children's story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Luciferianism, where did you get that information? I imagine he needs the website, for bibliographies.
DirtyKiller, here's a hint about research: If you're not allowed to use Wikipedia, visit the page on Wikipedia anyway. Then, just scroll down to the References section, and use the links they have there. I've done that a lot of times, it's a great way to get information. Since you can't use Wikipedia's information, at least use it as a good way of gathering information sources, without having to weed through all the junk that often comes up on Google.
The sources have the same information - often more detailed - just not on Wikipedia's site (which means not as condensed/rewritten to avoid plagiarism, sometimes less politically neutral), which many people still (stupidly) believe is constantly inaccurate. They're wrong, as all pages need to have sources, which will allow you to verify the information's validity, or they get a big message at the top saying the information may be inaccurate.

That was all the information they gave. There were no references. I decided to cut out the middle man.
I know how to read, and I did read what he wrote, but what is the point in giving a link to a place with no other links or
any other information besides that? There is no point.

Spoiler:
The most contents on it´s movies :

We can also point the fact that on his movies he used the most variety of cars being the fifth principal the Aston Martin, Bentley, Lotus, Renault and BMW which were considered the most important partners of the special agent. During the saga James Bond also drives cars of Ford, Alfa Romeo, Rolls Royce and Toyota.
The academy of Hollywood gave to the movies of the James Bond saga 007, seven nomeations, from those only won two, dating the last one from the year of 1965, with Thunderball winning the Oscar of The Best Special Effects.
Also we can not let the enemies he fought outside, the huge number of enemies he killed on all the movies of James Bond saga were 1250, for that its considered the most bloodthirsty movie of the history of cinema.
There were considered 83 "Bond girls" which on the bad or good side that the agent with license to kill crossed with, like famous names as Halle Berry, Diana Rigg and many others.
Also there were 6 actors that were on the skin of him, by acting as James Bond, names as Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Bronsnan and now Daniel Craig.
