Talk:Ronald Wayne

message: "soon lost faith in the company and sold his stock for $900", linked source at http://news.com.com/2009-1023-259624.html says $800, is this value more likely correct?
hey $800 was a lot of money back then  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.182.92.74 (talk) 20:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

message: What's the Wikipedia citation policy on quotes?  "He holds a dozen patents, but has never had enough capital to make money off any of them" is basically directly copied from the source #8. 98.182.39.84 (talk) 22:30, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I've reverted all the recent changes regarding Wayne's ownership of Apple products. Up until recently, this was true. But as the recent edits have noted, he was given an iPad at the Update conference. I have no reason to doubt this. But Wikipedia reports only things which are verifiable according to a reliable source. A photo on Instagram isn't enough to source a claim like this. If the gift at the conference is reported in a third-party reliable source, then it can be included.
But this presents us with an interesting issue: if he does now own an Apple product, then the earlier reports that he doesn't are no longer valid even though reliably sourced. So in order to abide by WP:RS, I've removed both the claim that he doesn't and that he does until we get a reliable source. I'm perfectly amenable to changing my view and if anyone wants to argue that the photo is a reliable source, I'll happily defer to consensus. —Tom Morris (talk) 08:59, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

message: According to the Wikipedia MoS, we should begin the article with So-and-so is an American engineer, banker, baker, butcher, etc. This article starts with what he did, not what he is. I know he's retired, but was he an engineer or something else? I can infer entrepreneur, but what else? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 19:53, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The $2,300 is for two things a year apart. $800 is to give up his shares. $1,500 is to agree not to sue to get them back. Two different things.--Tenebrae (talk) 20:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: And it looks like Ylee and I reached a middle ground that addresses both our concerns. All good. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:00, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
