Jimmy Wales[edit]

There is a bounty on this page becoming a featured article candidate (see Talk:Jimmy Wales), but having looked at the article myself it seems fairly good at the moment. General feedback wanted, paticulalrly on whether we should be so self-referential in the controversy over Wikipedia founding section. --Robdurbar 08:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • glazes over his involvement in porn. his ego problem. WP:OFFICE controversies. furthermore, I think having a featured article on the founder of the site will be damaging to Wikipedia, and make it look like a website dedicated to him for a day. --Midnighttonight 09:35, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is a procedure for having a featured article that is not to be put on the Main Page. Wikipedia is Featured but has not been (and will not be) on the Main Page. —Cuiviénen, Wednesday, 3 May 2006 @ 15:30 UTC
  • A few quick issues—source 16 is blatant original research. Too many random pictures of Jimbo; all we need is one basic one and then ones of him actually doing stuff (i.e. keep the one in the lead, the one of him on CNN and the one of him at Wikimania; kill the rest). Plus all those images in the Wikipedia section break the formatting for 800x600. First two subsections of career are extremely short. "Other activities" needs some serious fleshing out. Citation needed for the quote in the prep school section. Lead needs to be expanded (see WP:LEAD). --Spangineer[es] (háblame) 03:43, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The date of his birth would be nice. --Banana04131 23:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
