This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Linus Torvalds article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the subject of the article.
This page doesn't even have a controversy section. Tovalds's public image isn't that great. There seem to be various pages made to documment Linus Torvalds controversy. There is a whole subreddit just devoted to rants by Linus. Semantism2 (talk) 01:02, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Semantism2, I agree that this article shouldn't shy away from (properly sourced) criticism or controversy.
However, many people argue that a dedicated "controversy section" or a "criticism section" is unnecessary -- WP:CSECTION. Like them, I recommend integrating criticism (as well as praise) in specific sub-sections where they are relevant, and naming sub-sections using more specific titles than "controversy" or "criticism".
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
