"On Septemeber 5th 2006, Zuckerberg created the mini feed, encouraging stalkers everywhere to set forth on a global rampage." - Definitely not a neutral point of view (loudestnoise : talk) 05 September 2006

October 2005

There's currently not much noteworthy about him except for his creation of Facebook. Besides, the main facebook article mentions everything currently on this page about him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 169.229.99.156 (talk • contribs) 01:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

March 2006

I recreated this article because I think Zuckerberg is now notable enough to merit his own stub. There are stubs for other Facebook employees and it seems the founder and CEO should get one too. - L1AM (talk) 09:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

July 2006

He is absolutely noteworthy enough to have his own stub. Someone needs to track down the New Yorker's piece on Zuckerberg that was printed in its May 15, 2006 edition. I remember the article saying that he was offered something in the hundreds of millions for the site. Anyone who has been offered hundreds of millions of dollars for anything is worth a "stub" on Wikipedia. [[1]]

August 2006

Why is this article still considered a stub? Generally, when I find a stub it's a paragraph long, maybe 2, but that's about it. While this isn't a 5-page essay on the guy, I'd certainly consider it more than a stub... 82.139.89.208 11:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

May 2007

Is it true that Facebook started out as a game like Grand Theft Auto? That really sounds wild...and it's unsourced. --24.151.241.181 03:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Jewish American

I would remove this from the header per WP:MOSBIO, opening paragraph point #3, ethnicity. Any thoughts? Thanks --Tom 18:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I didn't see any reason why it should have been removed, unless it was used in an offensive way which it wasn't. Infact it's positive for the Jewish community, showing Jewish success in Internet ventures, considering Bittorrent and many other contributions the Jewish community has made. I think it should be put back, but in a subtle way on the article somewhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.179.67.167 (talk) 02:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

...because Jews are relatively unheard of in the business world or something? I'm not trying to stereotype, but please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 20.2.185.8 (talk) 13:16, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

well jew's have been persecuted and put down by the world and are continuously and when a jew makes a difference...or when a memeber of any minority makes a significant contribution of any type...it's only proper that somewhere...it be noted.

Harvard Student Status

I removed him from the Harvard Alumni category. Drop-outs are not alumni.

--Check the definition of alumnus again, yes they are, alumnus = graduate OR FORMER STUDENT (emphasis mine) of a school. - Josh Sims

According to wiktionary, an alumnus is a student or graduate. If he is neither a student or graduate (and drop-outs aren't either), then he's not an alumnus. 20.2.185.8 13:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Not to be anti-wiktionary or anything, but that did not sound quite right to me, so I checked with my most used dictionary, the American Heritage online, and it says

A male graduate or former student of a school, college, or university.

For good measure, I checked Merriam-Webster's and it says

1 : a person who has attended or has graduated from a particular school, college, or university
2 : a person who is a former member, employee, contributor, or inmate.

To be fair to others, my own older edition (print) of American Heritage only defined alumnus as male graduates. Nam1123 07:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

"Early life" section

I deleted "Jews are the best at everything and Jewish people have created mostly everything you use everyday. "

That is just not professional. Its a stereotype, positive, but still racist.

it is impossible for something to be racist against jews.... the jewish people are not a race.

No people are a race... There are no such thing as human races, only ethnic groups and religions. And when you attack or praise people just for their religion or ethnicity is it is commonly termed "racism".--158.36.137.7 06:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

"Facebook" section

This sentence sounds incomplete: The network first expanded to allow other university students to join. Should there be a date at the end of this?

I think this means university as opposed to high school and everyone else, and the date on that would be...2004 to 2006. The expansion happened gradually and I don't know if you can put a date on it. But I agree, the sentence is not great. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 04:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Defacing

Somebody added on "The most over valued website in history." under the Partial Sale section. Clearly not Wikipedia material, so I'll remove it. Jon914 01:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
