No criticism?
It seems like a lot of people dislike job as CEO and President of Yahoo!, but the article mentions no criticism or controversy. --Romulan Ale (talk) 02:28, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- It mentions that "Mayer was consequently criticised for the telecommuting ban". Is there anything else specific you feel should be mentioned, that's been covered widely in the press? --McGeddon (talk) 08:32, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thousands, probably millions, of Yahoo! users are unhappy with an enormous number of (non-optional) changes that her administration added to services like Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Groups. Unfortunately, it would take a great deal of time to fairly assess and document all the pro's and con's. But right now, this whole thing looks like something that came out of her press office or an annual report rather than a Wikipedia article. Even if you're a huge enthusiast and supporter of Ms. Mayer, this is counter-productive since readers would be deterred by the style and apparent bias from learning about and considering her positive achievements and policies. —— Shakescene (talk) 17:58, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

"Early Life" - Second Paragraph
In the second paragraph describing Mayer’s early life and education, it goes on about her participation on the curling team and precision dance team. It even goes on to discuss other details about how she was a grocery clerk and ‘memorized the number codes for produce items to streamline the checkout process’. This information comes across as irrelevant to her career, seems to come from a personal connection, and should be removed from her page. For reference of what would be considered relevant information to be included in this section, refer to the page on Kathleen Antonelli.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Antonelli
On Kathleen Antonelli's page, it describes how she excelled in certain subjects that pertained to how she advanced in her career. There isn't information regarding her extracurricular activities that don't provide important information to how she became a women in computing.
Early Life
In the section about her education and early life a statement is made that Mayer was “painfully shy” as if the author knew Mayer directly. This quote came from a Business Insider interview where she was asked many questions about her personal life. Mayer said she was painfully shy herself. I think it should say: “As a child Mayer considered herself painfully shy"
It should be correctly relayed from the interview, stating that she said it herself if it is included on this page. Jenna hyppa (talk) 18:01, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
