Where the problem is
The first sentence of the "Social" section of this article says [quote:]"Social entrepreneurship is the use of the by start up companies and other entrepreneurs to develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues.[51]"

What the problem is
The problem seems to be that the word "of", there, is not followed by a proper noun phrase, as a "prepositional object". It is followed [only] by the word "the", and ... that's it. Then that is followed by some other parts of the sentence, ... but, those do NOT seem to be part of the "prepositional phrase" introduced by the word "of".

This situation seems to go all the way back to the edit that added (or, "created") that "Social" section -- namely, during this edit.

How should it be corrected?
I would be happy to edit that sentence, but I do not know what that part of that sentence (starting with the word "of") should say.

Any advice? or comments? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 03:27, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Concurring Comment
Just wanted to comment that I reread that clause about 5 times, mostly in frustration at being unable to parse it, before arriving at the same conclusion(s) that you did. I was quite surprised to see such an expertly articulated analysis, in total agreement with my own thoughts, outlined with such precision here on the talk page.

The expertise of somebody who knows how to fix this is desperately needed... it may be unfair, but as it stands, this single red flag of a paragraph immediately warns the reader that the entire article may be of much poorer quality than meets the eye.

"Rural" entrepeneurship
I have reverted the recent good-faith addition by, but would like to clarify some of the concerns about this new section: most of the statements seem rather vague and have been phrased in an "essay-ish" tone (first-person statements and speculative assessments should generally be avoided). For example: ...enables value for the community is a generic buzzphrase - which specific "value" exactly? Or can help rural areas overcome the challenges: which challenges? and how exactly? A second, smaller problem is the lack of structure in the section. It mostly consists of separate, only loosely-related statements, but does not form a coherent presentation of the overall aspect. A third, albeit minor, issue: the entire section relies on information published in Entrepreneurship & Regional Development. Ideally information should be based on a broader range of sources from diverse publications and viewpoints. Even if the presented information is reliable, relying on only 1 publication risks reflecting a possible bias from the journal.

Apologies for the lengthy explanation, but I wanted to try to offer as much constructive feedback as possible to encourage further improvements, and maybe a new revised version of this section. If in doubt, possible additions can also be discussed and tweaked here on article talk first. I'd be glad to help. GermanJoe (talk) 14:09, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Modern Entrepreneur Culture
Is it time for a section talking about the cultural impacts of entrepreneurship? Both the good and the bad of how 'enterpreneurship' seems to be everyone's dream. It seems to have a pretty big impact with teenagers idolising characters like GaryVee. I feel it's noteworthy. ElliotPadfield (talk) 09:50, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Inclusion of the Malala picture
I don't think the picture of Malala makes sense, there's certainly nothing in this article or in the Malala Yousafzai article that suggests she's a "social entrepreneur" nor is she called one in reliable sources. :3 F4U (talk) 11:40, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
