Rewrite
I rewrote the article in my own words, referencing multiple sources. Jperfettini (talk) 17:59, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Proposed expansion of this article
I am proposing a new, expanded version of this biographical article, which as of this writing is little more than a stub, contains external links in the body copy, and lacks for RS sources. Mostly right now it simply lists investments made by Mr. Goetz, which seem mostly correct, but as listed they are not explained by secondary, third-party sources.
Therefore, the draft I present here I've carefully researched and organized to present a high-level overview of his career, both at Sequoia and before, including his recent transition out of a leadership role at the firm. You can find my proposed draft here: User:WWB_Too/Jim_Goetz
My intention has been to follow reliable, third-party sourcing very closely, to write from a neutral point of view, and to provide enough details about his various activities as to be informative to the reader without getting bogged down in unnecessary details. Fortunately, many of his key investments are notable companies in their own right, and he's been frequently mentioned in news articles about them.
I will not make any direct edits to this article, because I have a financial conflict of interest: I have been contracted by Mr. Goetz to create a more informative biography of him. I am hoping to find an independent volunteer editor willing to review my proposed changes and, if they agree, to move this draft into place. If a reviewing editor has any questions or suggested changes before this can happen, I'll aim to respond soonest. Thanks in advance, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:06, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- After reviewing the proposed changes at the request of the author, and making some edits myself, I have moved the draft onto the main article page. Page maintains a WP:NPOV and follows WP:BLP guidelines, even after the contributor has noted their affiliation with the subject of the article. Comatmebro (talk) 19:21, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
