Year of birth

[edit]

Lede says 1978. Infobox and category say 1979. Which is it? -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 22:38, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to this article Calombaris was 31 at the time of writing (1 April 2010). That suggests the 1978 date is correct. WWGB (talk) 12:24, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, tks. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 08:59, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Calombaris's MAdE group's voluntary administration must be included

[edit]

It is clear that, like the underpayment scandal, putting MAdE group into voluntary administration is an important aspect of this biography. Dufzi (talk) 18:01, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dufzi: Indeed, BUT it doesn't necessarily belong in the lede of the page. Please see WP:LEDE. The lede is supposed to be a 'summary' of the important points of a page, in my words and understanding. Also see WP:NOTNEWS, this has only just happened and Wikipedia(WP) is an encyclopaedia, not a newspaper.
I have been on WP for 10+ years(! just sayin', not braggin') and WWGB for longer, and they have a lot of experience in WP:BLP issues, their advice should be heeded. Regards, --220 of Borg 01:11, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
