I generated the original draft on Ma Yun (Jack Ma) in English. Can someone put on a Chinese version?

How to change from "Mǎ Yun" to "Mǎ Yún", and from "chief operating officer" to "chief executive officer")in the first sentence of this article?

- The Chinese version should go to zh:马云. Physchim62 17:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think Wikipedia policy says that this article should be renamed "Jack Ma". "Jack Ma" gets about 10 times as many google hits as "Ma Yun". Besides, most publications in English call him Jack Ma.Borisblue 18:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not clear cut, but the current title is no good: either Ma Yun (original version) or Jack Ma (most common name in English), but not both! Physchim62 17:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay. Pissant 09:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- As a Chinese, his Chinese name should be used as official name and the title of the article. I support using "Mǎ Yún" instead of "Jack Ma". APOOGM (talk) 07:53, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- 马云 is his name. "Jack Ma" is an alias. "Ma Yun" is one possible transliteration of his name. As for googling, two problems there: Firstly, you googled the wrong thing. Googling his name "马云" (not a transliteration) gets 50% more hits than his alias. Secondly, Google is not the be all and end all of the world wide web, especially when it comes to websites in Chinese. 9ulk (talk) 15:23, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Balance / links

The whole article is full of praise and does not seem very balanced. Are there no negative sides to the way he does business? Usually you don't get to that position without some scandals.

Also there are no links to other Wikipedia articles in the last paragraphs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.246.122.218 (talk) 06:47, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Too positive

This article uses promotional language, such as 'took unprecedented steps'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markleung (talk • contribs) 08:25, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. We need to take a more neutral approach. I started by removing some redundant info by BBC about his wealth. New worl (talk) 17:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Goddamn PRoC propaganda

Jack Ma talk at Columbia U... use to update entry?

I was sent this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k-s93Hr2dA&feature=player_embedded Seems like it would could be used as a primary ref to update this entry. One factoid I caught, Jack Ma mentions he has a son. His wiki page says he has a daughter. 108.27.92.16 (talk) 15:50, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit on May 10,2014

I added the 2004 achievement before the 2005 achievement in the "Achievements" section.
