Please don't try to take your frustrations out on me [1]. I've explained that it's a very poor article for new editors to try to edit, and I'm happy to explain further why this is so and what you should do if you choose to continue. --Ronz (talk) 06:24, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am actually not a "new" editor, but I appreciate your concern. My testing of this whole process will lead to an important talk on crowd-sourcing/quality of information. I am well versed in the history of high tech and a very well known entity, but not personally involved with these people.

My concern here and now, however, is the inability of a wiki user to correct factual errors, inferences, misinformation, and poorly sourced articles. I have read the discussion on the page back and forth from various parties, including yourself, on this bio. There definitely appears to be "history" here for whatever reason...

The quality of information is not decided by consensus or a democratic vote, it is decided on the basis of merit. That's how true scholarship works. It is the way she will be and that's the way it will come out. If an individual makes a self-aggrandizing claim, and a more modest approach would be pleasant, and the claim is justified, then so be it. I have met enough Nobel Prize winners in my life to know about large, but in many cases, justified egos. I will not refuse to list their Prize just because I don't like their ego. One needs to separate the personalities from the accomplishments. There is too much a focus on personalities, and this is not correct in such an article. Who cares if he has a quirky personality. Lots of people have quirky personalities. Lots of people have big egos. Lots of people are modest. Lots of people are self-deprecating. We need not list all these issues in the biographical information. They are subjective anyway, even if reported. And, who cares? You don't think Bill Gates has an ego? And, all the negative things that have been written about him? Do we report it all? I am a Mac person, so no ties there, btw.

Let's get some of these pages cleaned up. Jain's may not be the optimal place to start, but it is somewhere to start. Doesn't really matter. We can't improve things if the editing is blocked or unilaterally dismissed without good cause. Nor is it proper to unfairly hide behind Wiki rules when it suits one's own prejudices. This would not be an issue if I didn't notice that certain things got in, which didn't adhere to any standards, but other things of a much more important nature were deliberately left out. Providing proper context is the most essential and important part of information.Science&HiTechReviewer (talk) 06:48, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding [2] and [3], I suggest you review WP:AGF, WP:BATTLE, WP:RGW, and WP:NPA.

As I've already pointed out to you, I'm happy to explain myself further on anything that we've already discussed. As to the things that we've not discussed, you might want to try asking first, or at least follow WP:DR. --Ronz (talk) 19:46, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
