Talk:Chris Hughes

Birthdate

Is it 26th or 27th as the article contains both! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.8.132 (talk) 16:47, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Even worse, in the infoxbox it says June 6, 1983 but the article says November 26, 1983 (incidentally; the day I was born). 194.78.209.104 (talk) 08:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

As of now, in 2023, I don't see anything linked to verify the birth date or even birth year given in the current version of the article. Am I missing something? RW Dutton (talk) 19:46, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Chris Hughes (entrepreneur) → Chris Hughes — Definitely the primary topic.--Marcus Qwertyus 22:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

• Comment. Please provide a more definite explanation instead of just pointing out a guideline. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 09:12, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

• Support - given the popularity of Facebook, *this* Chris Hughes (imo) is the primary topic over a British hypnotist, an English professional-football midfielder who played for three seasons, a UK-tabloid journalist or a British musician and record producer. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:32, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

• Support. Agree this is the primary topic for Chris Hughes. A hatnote should be provided pointing to the DAB at Christopher Hughes. Andrewa (talk) 00:55, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Roomates

The introduction lists Eduardo Saverin as a room-mate; however, Saverin did not live in the same dorm. The dorm-mates were Mark Zuckerberg, Joey Siesholtz, Billy Olsen, Dustin Moskovitz, Joe Green, Arie Hasit, and Chris Hughes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.53.79 (talk) 21:26, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Facebook Stocks

Just a simple question: what happened to his share? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.54.74.10 (talk) 16:23, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

New NEWS today, for future editing

He owns New Republic (magazine).

Headline-1: Inside the Collapse of The New Republic

• http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/inside-collapse-new-republic

QUOTE: "Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook with an estimated fortune of more than half a billion dollars, bought T.N.R. [The New Republic magazine] in 2012, and the Washington headquarters was a reflection of his ambitions." -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 22:30, 12 December 2014 (UTC) -- PS: FYI for future editing.

Already in the article, FYI, two hours ago. -- AstroU (talk) 22:54, 12 December 2014 (UTC) What will come of it to him, personally?

Reaction: "Chris Hughes: From savior to villain at the New Republic" [1] There is a picture of "Chris Hughes, right, with his husband, Sean Eldridge, in 2012." -- AstroU (talk) 23:08, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Recent edits regarding Hughes' ownership of TNR

I've reverted recent edits by User:Zuno2223 regarding Hughes' ownership of The New Republic.diff The tone of these edits was extremely negative and crossed the line into violating WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:BLP.

While it is accurate that Hughes' actions were widely criticized, and it is reasonable for Wikipedia to present that criticism, the tone of these edits does not meet Wikipedia's standards. Some specific problems:

• "In December 2014, shortly after the magazine's centennial celebration, editor Franklin Foer, and literary editor Leon Wieseltier, who had worked at the magazine for thirty-two years, were "driven out" and dozens of other staff and contributing editors resigned when a new chief executive, Guy Vidra a former Yahoo! employee, described the new direction of the magazine as a "vertically integrated digital media company."" This implies that Vidra's quote about TNR becoming a "vertically integrated digital media company" was the factor in "driving out" Foer and Wieseltier. The causative link is inappropriate without strong sourcing.
• To describe a comment by an individual as "seemingly bitter" or as a "parting shot" is a violation of WP:NOR and entirely inappropriate. The phrase "qualified contrition" is equally inappropriate.
• While this edit presents four paragraphs of quotes from critics of Hughes, it presents Hughes' POV in only one sentence. However, it doesn't take Hughes' opinion seriously, instead it immediately presents judgements about what Hughes said. The editor does not judge the opinions of Hughes' critics. This clearly does not meet WP:NPOV. We do not need to have an equal amount of quotes that support and oppose Hughes, but we should at least present Hughes' viewpoint (or the viewpoint of a supporter) without trying to immediately discredit that viewpoint.

@Zuno2223: Please consider revising your edits in accordance with WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:BLP. Thanks, GabrielF (talk) 01:25, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

• @Zuno2223:, I agree that your edits (which I just reverted again) were definitely not in line with WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:BLP. Joseph2302 (talk) 01:55, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Requested move (2)

Can we move this page to Chris Hughes (entrepreneur) and restore Chris Hughes to be a redirect to the disambiguation page Christopher Hughes.

While 12 years ago, some might have considered this specific Chris Hughes to be a primary topic due to his connection to Facebook, I think it is unlikely that he meets WP:PT1 anymore and he certainly doesn't meet WP:PT2.

I think it would make much more sense for individuals to be parenthesis-disambiguated and the primary topic to be the dab page. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 15:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
