Talk:Aza Raskin

Notability

Is this guy notable? The article reads like he wrote it himself. 145.18.110.84 (talk) 19:46, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

The primary source seems to be his bio-page at Humanized. Reads a lot like it. 78.34.126.29 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC).

Can anyone tell us about the notability of this guy? I understand he is an important employee of Firefox, but there are several important employees in several important businesses. If we are going to have an article about every "relatively-notable" computer scientist then we should lower our requirements in other fields. 192.101.162.126 (talk)

He writes and edits this wikipedia page himself. Certainly not notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.206.194.230 (talk) 21:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

He's a complete jerk-off. —Preceding unsigned comment added 19:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

not notable in my opinion, especially since this is more of a CV feature that belongs on his website than anything else. It also talks little (except for his tabnabbing discovery) of his contributions to the field (which is purposefully vague). What else is odd is that his education background implies he holds two bachelor degrees and not just one where just he doubled majored in something. 65.93.201.161 (talk) 20:20, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Not sure if he's a complete jerk-off, more of a partial one. He is definitely not notable, except perhaps in his own mind. Most current employees of Mozilla don't think he's famous. His new business venture is not notable in any way. Original article was written by Romanpoet. Mr. Raskin is one of Romanpoet's to contacts on Flickr, so not notable there either. A father being somewhat famous is his only noteriety.

Enso, the software

The Bio references the software Enso, but currently links to the wikipedia entry on Enso, the japanese symbol (I'll go ahead and remove that link). Enso the software may be worthy of a page of it's own - more so than Aza Raskin, IMHO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.41.116 (talk) 03:25, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Tone of the article should be fixed

Example: Raskin gave his first talk on user interfaces at age 10 at the local San Francisco chapter of SIGCHI. By 20, he was speaking internationally.

This article is full of citations, yes, but it still reads like his CV or portfolio! If someone knows how, it should definitely be made more neutral to better fit in Wikipedia. --Jonik (talk) 10:31, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Design expert?

Sounds suitably vague. Expert in what field? He could be an expert in interior design, although from reading the article I am inclined not to think so.—Quicksilver^{T @} 16:00, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

First talk at age of 10?

First sentence of the biography talks about how he gave his first UI talk at the age of 10. The source it comes from has no mention of Aza whatsoever. 71.141.234.224 (talk) 01:38, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Occupation

"Interface guru". Seriously, this page needs to be overhauled, preferably from the ground up, with only stuff someone can actually find in citations around reliable sources. Or just delete the thing. At the moment, it's more of a shrine than an article. --84.63.201.242 (talk) 02:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

He did not invent infinite scroll.

The only source that says he did is, well, him. Here is a patent for it that was filed in 1994 and granted in 1998: https://www.freepatentsonline.com/5724567.html Jorm (talk) 05:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
