Loathed?

I would get rid of the stuff on her being hated by her employees. Valleywag (though often entertaining) is more of a rumor site than a reliable source. Besides seeming like a trivial footnote, it seems to go against Wikipedia's policy on bios of living people. See Wikipedia:BLP. 68.8.106.74 (talk) 03:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Idea: ((Infobox scientist)) instead of ((Infobox celebrity))

No question, person who is a scientist can be beautiful, and can be a celebrity. But the Infobox for "scientist" has fields such as (.e.g.) "alma_mater", which in my opinion should be included [notable] here -- and it probably has other fields that might be needed (now or later) here, such as (say) those for awards or technical accomplishments (maybe needed in the future, if not already). Theoretically she could get some kind of "celebrity" awards in the future, but I think some kind of technical achievement award would be more likely. Hence, I think the fields for "celebrity" are less important in this article. Only a few of those "Infobox" fields are currently being used (birth date and place, and occupation) and -- (I think) -- those are common to both of these two kinds of "Infobox" templates.

Any comments? Any objections to using ((Infobox scientist)) instead of ((Infobox celebrity))? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 02:55, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Use Scientist, cuz that's what she is (one who just happens to have a public presence). --ZimZalaBim ^talk 03:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

> Any comments?

Ooops, this whole section might be unnecessary. I guess I just misunderstood, the extent of / the nature of, what difference it makes, using one kind of ((Infobox Person)) instead of another.

Example: I just tried adding a field value for "alma_mater" and it worked OK, even though it still says ((Infobox Celebrity)).

So maybe there is no need to change the "kind" of ((Infobox Person)) ...after all. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 03:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity?

Queery: does anyone know what is the ethnic origin of the name "Mayer"?
