Timeline Link

MinderBinder, I added an external link back to a timeline of Melinda Gates' life. It is not linkspam, it is a collaborative biographical project that I monitor, and is collaboratively told by a community of people on OurStory. It is not commerical in any way, and is free to reference and browse. The timline provides a quality biographical timeline of here life, and includes a lot of info that is not available in this wikipedia entry. Biographyfan 23:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

...

Wow, I thought she was just a piece of eye candy the world's richest man picked up. Turns out she has a brain and has used it and shares similar interests to Bill.

Hardly! Hers was the 'brain' behind cringeworthy like Microsoft Bob.

At her best I don't think Melinda was exactly arm/eye candy ;) ...their marriage definitely looks like a meeting of the minds....

She is eye candy, the same type of eye candy Windows 95 which was released just after their marriage had. 220.233.48.200 11:05, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone know if she still works at Microsoft? Based on her list of positions I guess not but who knows?

What's wrong with you idiots?? MS Bob was an idea that didn't work, and I doubt that she was the ringleader for the whole thing. Anyway, she doesn't wear makeup - and she doesn't have to since she's uber rich. Of course she doesn't work at MS anymore - god you guys are dirtballs!

I actually like the idea of Micorosft Bob a lot, it's a shame it wasn't more successful. --HideandLeek 08:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Pic

The current pic sucks. There I said it.

Now we have no pic :-( PureLegend 20:57, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

in the external link section of this article, there is a link to NNDB. is this a credible site? a quick preview of the site lists her "Race or Ethnicity" as "White" and "Sexual Orientation" as "Straight". this not only sounds unprofessional but also poor and inaccurate.

Would you prefer "translucent" and "linear", or is that not PC enough? Really. "White" is pretty terrible, (so is 'black' for that matter), but "Caucasian" is laughable. Pick one, any one, they all offend *someone*.

A quick review of other biographies (Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet) in wikipedia don't seem to list NNDB as an external link.

I've removed the NNDB link. let me know if you object. 03:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Here is an idea. Find her high school, ask the studio that took her senior photo for copyright permission to produce a reduced resolution JPEG here... and voila. Brilliant, eh?

....sigh.

Republican philanthropist?

There's no direct citation for the line "She is a republican philanthropist". I checked and couldn't find any references on the web either. With that in mind I'm going to delete the line for now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Horacelamb (talk • contribs) 22:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Both husband & wife are good human being.
