This article includes heavy claims and needs additional sourcing. The Early Life section about First City is irrelevant and misleading. It implies Marks was employed at First City at the same time as Skilling,that information lacks a source and is unverifiable. Also the part about Hussein is random and irrelevant. My other edits were done because the information was either bias or also unverifiable, due to poor sourcing. Finally, Marks is not on the WaterHealth board... I've included a link to the website. http://www.waterhealth.com/company/board.php S2012 (talk) 06:24, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]


What a puff piece. Did she write it herself? Uucp 16:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like somebody very biased towards her has updated the article again. This is without a doubt the most biased article I have ever read on Wikipedia. 24.130.144.237 (talk) 06:28, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously. Methinks KellyKimberly may be Mark in disguise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.209.144.16 (talk) 13:58, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow... The book "The Smartest Guys in the Room" had a much different take. I think she has been modifying her own Wikipedia article. Why is it the wealthiest among us make daily decisions without ANY consideration of "the rest of us", but yet are so neurotically sensitive to ANY form of criticism vocal enough to reach them in their secluded estates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.25.251.66 (talk) 22:52, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a few changes - there seems to be a misconception that Mark left Enron in 1998, but she remained on the board until 2000 according to contemporary sources. Also the subsequent trials show that Azurix was completely run from Enron, ownership was via SPEs. More recent articles suggest that Mark left due to Skilling's machinations, however this is not the way it was reported at the time, and given the astonishing underperformance of her investments before and after her departure it seems likely that this was the reason she chose to resign. Please chat here if you've got any comments --Dilaudid 00:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That smartest guys in the room book suggests that Azurix had its destruction caused at least in part by animosity of the part of Skilling and Enron in general's refusal to help the company. That and the fact that Wessex needed huge upgrades and was about to see a rate cut shortly after its purchase... TastyCakes (talk) 00:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the point - Mark decided to buy a company that needed huge upgrades, in the face of deregulation, overpaid for it, lost a fortune, and this is Skilling's fault because he wouldn't pour money into the abyss? I appreciate he's in jail, but you can't pin every disaster under Mark on Skilling 85.3.253.88 (talk) 09:24, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I attempted several times to elaborate on the secret of her successes at Enron. Alas, every time, it was labeled “vandalism”. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.209.144.90 (talk) 19:52, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why are her children's schools listed?[edit]

Isn't it invasion of privacy to give personal details on a non-public person? Furthermore, whatever the parent do or don't prevent, their kids should not be punished. So, I will delete that section. --Cryout 02:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Including the names of her sons is irrelevant and in violation of guidelines listed under BLP. If the article is reverted to previous versions that information shouldn't be included.--User:kellylk 16:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edits[edit]

The article was over personalized and I took out some of the personal info to make the tone more encyclopedic. Also did some reorganizing.--KeithbobTalk 19:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
