and chief technology officer of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) Warrior joined Motorola in 1984 and was appointed its CTO in 2003. Warrior is responsible for the Motorola’s $4.0 billion research and development investment and the efforts of 25,000 engineers. She is an external director on the Board of Corning Corporation (NYSE:GLW).

Before her current position, she was general manager of Thoughtbeam, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola, which was chartered to commercialize GaAs on silicon technology that was developed in the semiconductor sector of Motorola. This position was short-lived, however, because the Thoughtbeam technology was found to be based on erroneous measurements. Her promotion to CTO after this failed venture has been called a "Dilbert moment" by some in the industry.

Warrior also served as corporate vice president and chief technology officer for Motorola’s Semiconductor Products Sector (SPS) which is now Freescale.

This and the article still seem quite favourable for someone who journalists are willing to lambast as "Deadwood". Articles I've read also make the point that she filled a position vacant for 2 years, some inferring more unkind remarks from this too. If anything this addition seems too gentle. -- Horkana (talk) 20:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

At this time user User:David8989 has only edited this article on Padmasree Warrior and nothing else. Some edits were trivial, others deleted substantial chunks of the article which were critical of her Career, these have been reinstated/reverted. Without the well cited criticisms without discussion, the article feels unbalanced, reading all too much like a press release, listing achievements and job positions. These criticisms do not seem unfair, discussion before deletion would be appreciated. -- Horkana (talk) 18:00, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I see from the edit history the article referring to her as deadwood was previously referenced in the article, providing some contrast to the glowing remarks from the CEO of Cisco but was removed by user PWarrior who removed various other bits of criticism (most of which has been reverted several times). -- Horkana (talk) 01:51, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

The criticisms come from a spread of accounts, the reverts come from newly created accounts with little or no history. If you want to remove the criticisms then provide counter points or at the very least rephrase the bland praise and talk of here initiatives that read like a press release that the criticisms seem to be in reaction to. -- Horkana (talk) 06:47, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Unwilling to continually revert those who insist on deleting the critical counterpoints I've instead trimmed the fat out of this article. Without the fluff and praise the missing criticism is less noticeable. The sections for Leadership/Directorships and Awards are still terribly sycophantic and read more like a Resumé struggling to portray everything in the best light than a neutral or objective encyclopedia article.

Added NPOV tag to help indicate how disputed this article has been and how it had been repeatedly whitewashed of criticisms, and the Directorships and Recognition still seems far to sycophantic and too much like unbalanced PR fluff without the corresponding criticism. -- Horkana (talk)

This article is utterly unprofessional and is befitting of a supermarket gossip rag.

While I understand that Warrior was not well liked, this kind of potentially libelous information does not belong in an Encyclopedia. Further, edits cleaning up nasty comments have been reverted, e.g.:

1. (cur) (last) 03:52, 6 December 2007 207.10.229.192 (Talk) (6,048 bytes) (Undid revision 176081398 by Pwarrior (talk) Bringing back the referenced information.) (undo)
2. (cur) (last) 03:36, 6 December 2007 Pwarrior (Talk | contribs) (5,583 bytes) (→Career - Be nice, please.) (undo)

Including Bearded Women as a category is not only an embarrassment to the writers; it destroys any shred of credibility this entry may have.

What is this neutrality dispute about?

What is this neutrality dispute about? Someone has added a tag but provided no justification. Shall I remove it? NBeale (talk) 16:51, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Note how the article reads like a press release. Read the talk page. Note the sections that were suggested and how it contains positive and negative remarks. Take a look at some of the older revisions from February of 2009 which contain both positive and negative opinions, some very harsh negative opinions. I tried to preserve some of the negative opinions to balance out the fluff of this article, but some editors (what seemed to be sock puppets) continued to delete any criticism without discussion or consensus. I wasn't the only one who had tried to preserve the article, it wasn't even my edits I was trying to keep. Rather than continue to fight the fluff and astroturfing with balance I tried to trim it back to a more manageable less sycophantic article (completely inappropriate if you see how much well sourced criticism there was before). The article is still fairly lopsided, you'd almost think Warrior didn't have any critics. -- Horkana (talk) 04:46, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I still believe this article is heavily imbalanced given the extensive amount of criticism that was previously deleted. I understand Wikipedia articles need not include criticism but amount of praise and awards listed are missing essential context, in that she was savagely criticized and to list only the praise is highly selective and far too biased in her favour. Wikipedia makes it too difficult to prevent editors from repeatedly deleting content and it was too frustrating to continue fighting it. I don't have the time and energy to fight editors unwilling to act in good faith and discuss the criticisms so I wanted to make this last comment and confirm there remains a neutrality problem with this article before I take this page off my watch list and leave it to others who might be interested in improving the article. -- Horkana (talk) 01:49, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
