Unprofessional
[edit]this article is very poorly written and does not meet the standards of Wikipedia articles 2001:4958:34BC:CC01:4DB6:DCD6:5F8:9C0E (talk) 13:43, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Disagree. Maybe you don't like what the sources say about him, why he is notable? Wikipedia is not a dry resume. -- GreenC 16:30, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Also the article is beginning to tighten up with better sources and information. -- GreenC 22:52, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
Entropy
[edit]This article seemed to go through a blender. Pro tips:
- Use sections sparingly. See WP:OVERSECTION and WP:PROSE. Otherwise it reads like an outline, and makes it difficult to write chronologically. For example, when he was hired to run the Boring Company, that's when he sold Mr. Yogato for $1, to free up his time for the Boring company. It's all one story that flows together. Sections should be major topic breaks: personal life vs. career vs. education. The DOGE stuff needs its own section at this point. The rest of it is 1 or 2 sentences per sub-topic that don't need section breaks.
- Keep like-things together in the same paragraph. Don't need a new paragraph at every sentence. The two side businesses in DC are like-things. Twitter is a like-thing.
- Write chronologically. Most things on Wikipedia are organized oldest to newest.
- Be careful of source orphaning ie. moving a sentence to a different location, but forgetting to move the cite along with it. I found about 6 sentences that had no source, that did at one time.
- Be careful of source hijacking ie. moving a source to a location with a pre-existing citation, but that citation does not verify what the sentence says.
