Please add a year of birth to this article if possible. Thanks. Redletternight (talk) 15:47, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has now added a birth date, though I'm curious about the source of the information. --MZMcBride (talk) 08:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WMF hire

Danese was just hired by the Wikimedia Foundation to be the CTO. The article needs to be updated to reflect these developments. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 18:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That information was already in the article when you posted this request. Killiondude (talk) 19:21, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meher Baba follower?

Somebody deleted the (unsourced) mention of Danese being a follower of Meher Baba. I did a quick google and didn't find any printed mention. On the other hand, if you were to accuse her of being a follower of Meher Baba, she would have a hard time denying it. --RussNelson (talk) 06:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"One factoid erasure that really surprised me was the fact that I have long been a follower of Indian guru Meher Baba. It was surprising because it is such a personal detail and because it was deleted not only from my page, but my name automatically also disappeared from another Wikipedia page listing followers. For the record, I've been following Meher Baba for more than half my life (since 1979)....",--220.101.28.25 (talk) 14:47, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trouble is that's self-reporting. While we assume good faith on the part of editors, we don't assume good faith in biographies. We need somebody else to report on it, like somebody associated with MB himself. RussNelson (talk) 00:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems good enough to me given the weight of evidence. Another stone on the cairn would be good but it's clearly not just an incidental rock-pile. Webmink (talk) 01:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, let's throw our principles out the window. What the heck? Toddst1 (talk) 20:10, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Love the positive attitude. Really makes one want to participate here. Webmink (talk) 00:39, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If one doesn't want to participate, one should not. Nobody is forcing one. Were you expecting a pep rally for your endorsement of a lousy source? Toddst1 (talk) 01:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I see. From the link you recently posted on your user page, it's clear that you have a serious WP:COI with this article as you worked closely with Danese at Sun, hence your bias. Q.E.D. Toddst1 (talk) 07:25, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hat

I wonder if the knit cap in the article image was knit by Cooper. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia. --Ancheta Wis (talk) 15:36, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was. It was discussed at length at the WMF DE Developer meetup when the Volcano stranded us —Ree dy 09:52, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

cleanup

This is one of the crappiest BLPs I've seen in a while, full of incorrect citations, missing citations, primary sources etc. I've started some tagging, but it needs much more work, probably removing large sections that rely only on poor or non-existant sources. Toddst1 (talk) 20:09, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And I see there is a fair amount of WP:COI editing going on by prominent members of the Open Source community. Toddst1 (talk) 15:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
