Original research

edit

In whose value judgment is it appropriate that this man is described as audacious? If we are citing a source, we need to attribute it. Making such judgments ourselves is disallowed by our neutrality policy and our policy on original research. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

This description is cited to Forbes magazine; I have added this to the lead. Not sure whether it belongs there at all, but if it does this is the NPOV way to say it. Terraxos (talk) 12:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
