This piece ranks as just about the most poorly sourced biography of a living person I've yet come across on wikipedia. The POV needs toning down, the sources need improving, and the extraneous stuff needs to go. MarmadukePercy (talk) 01:54, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As per WP:GOCE I have undertaken thorough revision aimed at correcting the above noted problems. The article is now divided into coherent section, with several additional references for known factual information, and edited for tone, coherence, and NPOV. The legal section now follows a chronological order that more or less allows the reader to understand the progress of complex litigation. While doubtless still problems still remain the article is, I believe, markedly enhanced and possibly ready to be removed from WP:GOCE project status.--BenJonson (talk) 22:41, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the NPOV tag can be removed. In copy editing I also corrected wherever possible language that seemed to violate NPOV standards.--BenJonson (talk) 15:21, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. A reviewer felt that this edit would not improve the article. |
I work at Live Planet as a community manager under CEO Halsey Minor. I wanted to share a draft re-write of the Halsey Minor page. The current page is inadequately sourced, incomplete, and its emphasis on different topics seems random. I believe the proposed draft more accurately represents Halsey Minor’s career and fairly includes both his successes and failures. As I have a conflict of interest, I am asking for an independent editor to review the draft and provide any feedback. Jasonliveplanet (talk) 18:16, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Minor had become even more wealthy after Salesforce.com went public, Google bought GrandCentral, and CBS bought CNET".)[a]
"He was sick and watching TV at home, figuring there should be a channel on technology."

Notes
The external link list was clearly a violation of WP:ELNO, but I'll put them here as possibly useful for sourcing:

|page= parameter information added as an {{rp}} template. Instead, page ranges of approximately 40 pages are used.{{when}} template, as it does not give a date: "Minor said he wanted to focus more on philanthropy and venture capitalism, rather than being a CEO."As the bankruptcy ostensibly occurred in 2014, the Flores Daily Press source used to verify this first sentence cannot be used (or the sentence doesnt belong in that section) since the source used to verify it was written 7 years prior to the bankruptcy filing.
{{when}} templates, as dates are not ascribed to their occurrences either."Business Insider depicted the decline in Minor's wealth as the result of Minor going outside his specialty in tech."[a]

Done converted to page numbers in the "ref" tag
Done I removed the Hook cite wherever Reid or Turner were already cited for the same text
{{when}} template, as it does not give a date: "Minor said he wanted to focus more on philanthropy and venture capitalism, rather than being a CEO."As the bankruptcy ostensibly occurred in 2014, the Flores Daily Press source used to verify this first sentence cannot be used (or the sentence doesnt belong in that section) since the source used to verify it was written 7 years prior to the bankruptcy filing.
The citation does not include a specific date, just saying "he said repeatedly" and "he still"
{{when}} templates, as dates are not ascribed to their occurrences either.Most of these do not have a specific date in the citation or are not events that would not naturally occur on a specific date. Maybe others will find specific dates for some of these events in the future.
I'm not sure I understand - there is only one father. Maybe someone will sort this out in the future.
"Business Insider depicted the decline in Minor's wealth as the result of Minor going outside his specialty in tech."{{efn|Business Insider actually posits the bankruptcy as "most likely due to his expensive taste in real estate, art, and horses" including his $12 million dollar SF home, a replica of Louis XV's Petit Trianon.
Done I just replaced the Business Insider comment with your quote from the citation above.

Recent versions of the article are:
I have not yet studied all the details in the new article but it looks much better with more WP:DUE material and better sourcing. There is no reason to insist on perfection—does anyone see any significant problems with the new article? Johnuniq (talk) 04:01, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
