Net worth error?

Right now, his article says "as of July 2020, Page was the 13th-richest person in the world, with a net worth of $69.4 billion, according to Forbes" and Sergey Brin's article says "As of July 2020, Brin is the 7th-richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$67.6 billion." Something's not right here, since the 7th richest person can't be worth $1.8 billion less than the guy in 13th place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:1805:D80F:B88B:F9A0:1561:531C (talk) 06:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Preview page

When hovering over this page from another page (Google for instance), it just says "I Love men." I cannot fix this but I thought it should be brought to someone's attention. 161.185.153.53 (talk) 22:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article's lead was vandalized a couple of days ago. I'm not sure why the page preview isn't displaying the live version, but I'm hoping it will fix itself soon. (Purging cache didn't work for me.) If not, then we will revisit the matter. InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:28, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is only visible when Wikipedia's page preview is enabled (default).The source for this pop-up is an API call to https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/Larry_Page

The modification only affects the English language text.

https://it.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/Larry_Page shows the correct info. Elwikieditor (talk) 22:24, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The vandalism is no longer on the article, but I would like to know why the page preview isn't showing that most recent version of the article. Any idea what's going on? InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:18, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This did the trick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page?action=purge

Yep, that worked. I tried purging my browser's cache, but didn't think of purging the actual page itself. Thanks! InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:02, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is Carrie Southworth really British?

I can’t find anything to suggest she is.. 2.96.234.204 (talk) 17:37, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 30 October 2024 (2)

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Larry Page. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Question: @Shriman0: do you have a reliable source to support the change from "BEng" to "BSE"? M.Bitton (talk) 16:19, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear - those are synonyms. The current U of M bulletin makes clear that they use the term "B.S.E.", not "B.Eng." to describe the degree. However, I haven't found a definitive source that makes clear that that was the case when Page graduated. PianoDan (talk) 18:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This [1] from U.Mich. University Record indicates "Larry Page, BSE Computer Eng. 1995" if that helps. LizardJr8 (talk) 04:30, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
