Misleading
This article is MISLEADING. Marc Benioff did NOT invent cloud computing. He is just mass producing (or, in this case, "offering") it like McDonalds. ask123 (talk) 19:14, 1 October 2009 (UTC) --- I am just figuring out howto mark it as stub, obviously it is not enciclopedic style, if not pure (self)-promotion

Bogus Summary
The whole opening paragraph reads like a bad sales pitch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.121.68 (talk) 04:16, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Ethnicity
Somthing like "Ethnicity Jewish" not exists. Jewish are Palestinian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.96.238.116 (talk) 04:29, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
Cropped the lead per the Sept 2018 notice
The second paragraph focused on philanthropy seemed suspiciously out of place especially considering there's an entire section devoted to it, so I moved/merged any citations into the relevant philanthropic contributions section and removed the entire second paragraph from the lead.

Professionally Edited?
Interesting details in some of the citations e.g. the one I just named "forbes-best-co-list" -- the citation about Salesforce being a Best Company to work at is placed over Salesforce's description as a cloud computing company. This purpose can be served by the forbes-profile citation, so I went ahead and made the edit removing the forbes-best-co-list citation since it's entirely irrelevant to the point being cited. But the point I'm making is that in combination with the charitable giving model plugged into the lead as well as the reference to the best companies list, it seems like this article was likely professionally edited and needs a few passes by other unbiased editors. I'm a novice editor, though, so I'd encourage others to review my edits. Marc Benioff Edit by Eganist at 04:06, 13 April 2019 - feel free to review. Eganist (talk) 04:12, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
