Let's Discuss the "Key People" Section
Children, behave. Let's bring the disputed content of the "Key People" section to this talk page. Who are the key people and why? Also, the article still reads like an ad, despite the improvements made a few months ago. Please fix it to be neutral. Thanks! Ebikeguy (talk) 20:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Ebikeguy, appreciate your efforts keeping the listing unbiased and verified. There were four co-founders of CityRyde (Tim Ericson, Tristan Schreck, James Perkins, and Jason Meinzer - in that order). I cannot find any articles highlighting Tristan Schreck's involvement (he left an active role in the startup early-on, though he was critical to the launch of the business), but I was able to find several publications indicating the involvement of James Perkins in founding CityRyde.

It still needs work... reads like an advert, some references are blogs. I note that the article is largely the work of IPs and single purpose accounts, which together with the advert and reference issues sets off my WP:COI detector, but no real evidence either way so WP:AGF applies.
