July 2006

[edit]

This is written in poor fashion, and reads like it was self-written. I'm tempted to nominate for deletion as a possible vanity page/ non-notable. Desertsky85450 04:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NanoBusiness 2006 biographies

[edit]

It looks like the introduction of this articled was copied from the NanoBusiness 2006 biographies. Maybe it's too short to be a copyvio, but nonetheless it probably should be reworded. Also, there is a lot more information in that biography that could be incorporated into the article.

current status

[edit]

looks like the AfD is closed with no consensus -- can an admin remove the AfD tag? It also looks like the photo is not properly tagged -- should probably be removed. I think Jurvetson is notable enough, but the page needs a lot of work. Emcee 08:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

[edit]

In the article, Jürvetson's name is inconsistently spelled with and without the ü umlaut. Which should it be? Since User:Jurvetson is a Wikipedia contributer, perhaps he could clarify the matter himself? Ehn 20:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Harassment Claims Sections

[edit]

Claims stated in paragraph were erroneous / slanderous and the page already has a summary entry on this topic which sufficiently covers the outcome and current status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJDieter (talkcontribs) 03:40, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest retaining the Harassment Claims section, providing it sticks to the facts. I am particularly noting the insistence of some editors to include sources from Recode and Brotopia, which are largely groundless. Recode used information from an anonymous source. More importantly, this article wrote about Juvertson’s lying on “serious allegations” that were never identified. The article is also about Juvertson’s departure from DFJ and it cited a DFJ investigation that found “a pattern of dishonesty with women… including extra-marital affairs”. Recent edits now use this information to support the sexual harassment allegations. There is also the case of Brotopia. It was characterized by the NY Times as “heavy on salacious details and light on named sources". Wikipedia is not a tabloid nor NY Post’s Page Six. Just because Recode and Chang said so does not make it factual. These edits constitute WP:COATRACK, WP:UNDUE and require WP:BALANCE. Darwin Naz (talk) 01:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

citation for 'unacceptable behaviors by Jurvetson'

[edit]

In the section on Career, there's a sentence which read

  • While the findings of the investigation were not made public, anonymous sources alleged that the investigation "uncovered unacceptable behaviors by Jurvetson related to a negative tone toward woman entrepreneurs".

There's no footnote indication following this, although the sentence immediately before has a footnote citing some Recode story from Vox. But the story from Vox does not include the quoted word 'uncovered', at least as of now. I also can't find the quoted phrase, using google, anywhere except in wikipedia or similar (wikiwand, wikivisually, etc).

I think that per the Wikipedia's rules, the anonymous quote should either be dropped or cited to a reference to a 'reliable source'. Son of eugene (talk) 03:12, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
