I'm going to guess Mr. Li put this page up himself. Pioneered the use of Gaussian copulae? Oh really? I'm sure the statisticians who discovered these long ago would be surprised -- as would the statisticians at places like Renaissance and Citadel. This page should be deleted.--128.135.149.78 19:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't say that Mr Li pioneered the use of Gaussian Copulae, it says that he pioneered their use for the pricing of CDOs, which he did. The bigger problem with the article is that it basically just plagiarizes the wired article it cites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.42.22 (talk) 00:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first paragraph about his early life never quotes the wired article it cites explictly, but almost everything is plagarized either by taking the words directly or be using tiny variations. Isn't that against Wikipedia policy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.241.6.133 (talk) 19:51, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I finished reading the Wired article and it looks like they copied most of it without citing the source. --68.51.72.144 (talk) 15:02, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
