[edit] Regarding Steve Jobs' Grammy Award

It currently states that Steve Jobs "received" the Grammy. It should note that he was "awarded" a Grammy which was accepted by Eddy Cue. (You can read about Eddy Cue here.)

[edit] Abdulfattah "John" Jandali

After reading this [1] i'd recommend to reformulate the 2 first lines of the §Personal Life. Its not clear if he was a teacher and therefore that Joanne was his student (sources in the article aren't clear enough either. I know WP:BOLD, but my english isn't that good, I think.

Typo on the death. Says "Aged" rather than "Age"

208.122.65.254 (talk) 13:31, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Not done: The "aged" in the infobox is auto-generated. It has the same meaning as "at the age of" and is used there and n the lede. It doesn't appear to be a typo, but you are welcome to suggest an alternate sentence for the lede. Celestra (talk) 16:08, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

The script automatically writes the current age of living subjects from their birth date until today's date. After the subject's birthday of any year, the age will automatically increment. For the deceased, the script is given the date of death parameter (used for age calculation), and the past tense of "age" is written. Shencypeter (talk) 08:45, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Lead section

Seeing that the lead section needs to be within "four paragraphs", I think it can be further compacted by removing redundant information, such as "a rare form of pancreatic cancer" (later fully stated as the endocrine tumor / cause of death), and "entrepreneur in the high tech business" reads like an understatement and an abrupt end to the section. The lead section does not summarize the honors and public recognitions section... (the paragraph in the said section beginning "He was widely regarded..." seemed like a good ending to the lead section at the time..). Suggestions? Shencypeter (talk) 04:04, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Consider: "he died of respiratory arrest" instead of "respiratory arrest was listed as the immediate cause of death with ... ... as underlying cause..."Shencypeter (talk) 04:06, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I agree with all of your suggestions. Darrell_Greenwood (talk) 05:37, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Top Secret security clearance

Steve Jobs had a Top Secret security clearance from November 3, 1988 until July 31, 1990 with the "employing agency" being Pixar.

[edit] Vandalism imminent

We're about to get vandalized...On 4Chan - /b/res/382742803#382752469 Daviddwd (talk) 02:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


Update: the article just got semi-protected. Problem solved. Great going, guys. :) Daviddwd (talk) 03:02, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request on 24 February 2012

Please change "was an American businessman and inventor" to "was an American businessman, designer and inventor". Most of his patents were design patents, not utility patents. He only had about 40 utility patents and most of his utility patents were software patents. Here is a link to a presentation of Steve Jobs' patents. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/08/24/technology/steve-jobs-patents.html [1] Livepaul (talk) 23:46, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

  • YesY Done. I seem to remember it being in there before, but I can't recall or think of why it was removed. Jeancey (talk) 00:23, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

Reality Distortion Field should be merged here. Small article devoted to a term to just describe Steve Jobs. It is not notable enough on its own. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:10, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good. Should make for a nice sub-section. Keep it as a redirect. HereToHelp (talk to me) 04:46, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Done. I leave it up to other editors to make further changes or move it if they so desire. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 10:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request on 29 February 2012

The title of the statue picture is "Steve Jobs statue at Science Park, Budapest", but the statue is not at the Science Park, but at Graphisoft Park. Calling it a science park (lowercase) is still not accurate as Graphisoft park is an office park, not a science one.
Please correct the title to "Steve Jobs statue at Graphisoft Park, Budapest".
