A fact from Jack Dorsey appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 November 2008, and was viewed approximately 11,800 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that at age 14, Jack Dorsey (pictured) developed software that is still used to dispatch taxicabs and inspired him to create Twitter?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/November.

It may be true, but it sounds odd; a 14 year old, with an interest in developing dispatching software? There must be a bit more to it than that. Landroo (talk) 12:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am the great fan and supporter

Suggestion

Hi, this page seems to be closed to edits.

Just a suggstion:

Jack has said several times in public that he attended NYU and its computer science program, though did not graduate, and went to California in 1999. All this information is left out of his Wikipedia bio; I'm just wondering why? He doesn't hide the fact that he attended NYU, nor that he left without finishing. [I have no affiliation with either NYU or Twitter] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.70.117 (talk) 01:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:SusanLeschSudanLesch Hello susan, i don't know exactly if Fleetic is from jack dorsey, but i see articles in Forbesmagazine with responses about this "proyect" i don't have the link, if you type in google "jack dorsey forbes magazine", you can get more info about this. Regards

Another Suggestion

Doesn't this guy smoke a lot of Marijuana? Shouldn't that be noted? 76.90.115.62 (talk) 15:48, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, for the same reason one wouldn't mention someone smokes or drinks. Also, there would need to be reliable sources) Jeff Carr (talk) 17:07, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Jones

Dorsey has taken a stand to allow Alex Jones to exist on twitter as of today. It may be news worth, but I'm not comfortable adding something that controversial due to BLP policy. [1] [2] Jeff Carr (talk) 17:07, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Controversies

Why isn't there a controversies section? Just Google "Jack Dorsey controversies" brings up numerous notable examples in the past few months. They should be represented here. Cody.berdinis (talk) 04:03, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:CSECTION. Such sections are generally inappropriate and to be avoided. —ADavidB 18:08, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You sure took another route when arguing for that Violence section on Arundel High School being a separate section. I am sure it wasn't due to any bias. Siihb (talk) 09:39, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense. Jack Dorsey is a criminal who, through his platform, aided a hostile foreign power in electing an illegitimate president. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:120C:304:734D:C48A:9443:F1F8 (talk) 21:37, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Take a few moments to look around the site. Everyone playing ball with certain "sides" like Jack Dorsey/Steve Huffman etc are blocked from having controversy sections. People who aren't protected, but have identical jobs, have controvery sections, like Mark Zuckerberg for example. Leaving a few Dorsey specific links, in response to this previous talk here for those users who don't just read the first page of PR-apedia.
