Talk:Bill Gates

Pioneer in Personal Computing Revolution
Steve Jobs' wikipedia page has in its infobox 'known for' = 'pioneer in personal computing revolution'. That's valid, I think it's equally valid in Bill Gates' as they were contemporary rivals that both had undeniably monumental impact in the PC revolution. I don't think Bill Gates' infobox merely saying 'known for' = 'co-founding microsoft' is sufficient to encapsulate what he is actually known for and achieved. While he is absolutely known for this, stating this alone trivializes the specific impact he had and reduces it similarly to any future CEO of Microsoft being known for merely their association to the company.

Is there any reason we don't have this information in the infobox like Steve Jobs'? Codeconjurer777 (talk) 13:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I would say it's because Jobs has the benefit of fandom, and such redundant puffery should be removed from his article. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:F80D:4E88:C064:17CB (talk) 00:10, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Please remove this phrase:

He also made a guest appearance as himself on the TV show The Big Bang Theory. The episode on which he appeared was appropriately titled "The Gates Excitation".

and add this in its place:

He also made a guest appearance as himself on the TV show The Big Bang Theory, in an episode entitled "The Gates Excitation".

It's shorter, it combines two short sentences into one better one, and it removes the opinionated "appropriately". 123.51.107.94 (talk) 04:47, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
