Article Opening

I changed the opening of the biography to state why this person is famous and or notable, namely due to the Martins Beach issue. This appears to be the most prominent aspect of this biography, and certainly all the press coverage and general notoriety of this individual surrounds this issue.

This was revised by someone who didn't give a reason. Being the first person to restrict public access to a beach in California is without doubt the most notable thing this person has done, and has created the majority of coverage about this person in the press and makes him notable in an encylopedic sense. The changed seemed obvious to keep with wikipedia guidelines, and also seems to match with other individuals who were previously known in a small way for their wealth, but became famous after a scandal (e.g. the Donald Sterling wikipedia article).

If someone wants to undo the edit, please explain your reasoning here.

Citation Cleanup

There were a lot of comments on his green investing, but many of the references had dead links (e.g. one to an article that wound up being about neurogaming). I removed dead links which killed all citations for green energy. If anyone can find good reference and facts, I think we should put this back in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evolvedmicrobe (talk • contribs) 06:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More on his visa history

Since there is a lot of debate about the H1B Visa program, it would be nice if someone could do a section on the types of visas VK used to get through school and US citizenship. Also, VK was not a technical person - only business. That area needs to be fleshed out too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.36.187.39 (talk) 17:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Could somebody please explain what "sav" means?

The section "Personal" states: "Neal is a sav."

Could somebody please explain what "sav" means? I am not a native English speaker (I'm German), so I am puzzled what this means. Is it an abbreviation, or some Indian Term? If there is an explanation on Wikipedia, a link would be nice. Thank You very much! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.226.131.216 (talk) 01:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
