Tough call with executives, but even 15 years ago Yahoo was routinely called "Yahell" by everybody who tried to use its chat rooms (which eventually become so bot-infected that they closed). On the one hand, it is great for Mayer if she can be in her 30s, get paid so well, and then skip out on maternity leave as well. What a life. On the other hand, the shareholders of Yahoo get to pay for such handsomely paid executives. And does anything at Yahoo work reliably today? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 21:08, 24 May 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Idea: ((Infobox scientist)) instead of ((Infobox celebrity)) == |
|
|
No question, person who is a scientist can be beautiful, and can be a celebrity. But the Infobox for '''"scientist"''' has fields such as (.e.g.) "alma_mater", which in my opinion should be included here -- and it probably has other fields that might be needed (now or later) here, such as (say) those for awards or technical accomplishments (maybe needed in the future, if not already). Theoretically she could get some kind of "celebrity" awards in the future, but I think some kind of technical achievement award would be more likely. Hence, I think the fields for '''"celebrity"''' are less important in this article. Only a few of those "Infobox" fields are currently being used (birth date and place, and occupation) and -- (I think) -- those are common to both of these two kinds of "Infobox" templates. |

:: Example: I just tried adding a field value for "alma_mater" and it worked OK, even though it still says ((Infobox Celebrity)). |

I find this bit irrelevant and distracting: "Mayer's mother is of Finnish descent.". If you think it is relevant, wouldn't it be better to phrase it as "Mayer was born in Wausau, Wisconsin, the daughter of Margaret, an art teacher of Finnish descent and . . .". But I still think it's irrelevant. ] (]) 18:20, 18 July 2012 (UTC) |

Re: "After graduating from Wausau West High School in 1993, Mayer was selected by Wisconsin governor Jim Doyle as one of the state's two delegates to attend the National Youth Science Camp in West Virginia." |

Jim Doyle was not governor in 1993 when Marissa was selected to attend the National Youth Science Camp. If governors did indeed select delegates in 1993, then Mayer would have been selected by Tommy Thompson, the governor of Wisconsin from 1987-2001. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 03:10, 17 July 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> |

== External links section == |

I asked administrator ] to give his opinion on large number of links listed in the External links section because it seemed like overkill. |
|
|
|
|
|
Joe said, "External links: It seems excessive to me, too. Maybe move a block of the ones you think to be extraneous to the talk page?" |
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the links are simply general news stories or video interviews, with content already included and cited in the article. Others appear to have no encylopedic value. |
|
|
|
|
|
Per Joe's guidance, I have moved the links below here to the talk page. Feel free to give your input on any you feel are worthy for inclusion in the External Links section. |

Every CEO makes the occasional gaffe or makes groups of people on the internet angry. If all sources are blogs and the only ] reporting on the incident is , then this is clearly not on a par with other events in her career and it is unhelpfully misrepresentative to present it as being on the same level as her widely-covered comments on telecommuting. --] (]) 20:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC) |

:I just want to chime in and say that I agree with Theonesean and McGeddon here. This only seems even remotely of importance because it's her only newsworthy gaffe in a short tenure as CEO of a major public company. Compare to Steve Jobs, who had at least dozens of controversial product announcements, few or none of which are mentioned in his biography. If this is really important ''to Flickr'' it should mentioned there, as part of the coverage of how Flickr old timers react to the redesign.
