Additional Information
I think there are many pieces of information that could be added to this page. For a good comaprison look at the article for Warren Buffett. For example there is no mention of Larry dropping out of university. In fact quite a few on the billionare list did just that. An intersting point methinks ;) --Inexplicable 13:37, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
Images
Comment to "Jawed" "added photo of Larry Ellison", not very flattering picture. - Jerryseinfeld 23:59, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I can't believe that's the best picture of the guy we can find. - Matthew.Townsend 12:10, 30 Dec 2004 (EST)
- It is the best picture of him in existence. Jawed 08:23, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I think it's a hilarious photo and burst out laughing when I saw it, but I think leaving it in the article must be a violation of -something-. --NeuronExMachina 10:10, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- It's a funny picture to be sure, but it wouldn't be very flattering to use that photograph in an encyclopedia. We can use a different picture without adding any sort of bias, so I think we should. - furrykef (Talk at me) 20:53, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Larry would like the baseball pic. He regularly eats competitors for lunch.
Bastard
Is it really important to say "Ellison was born out of wedlock to a 19-year-old girl"? I don't think his bastard status is relevant or NPOV. In fact I know it's not neutral because it put me off wanting to read the rest of the article. I'm going to be bold and remove it; someone can put it back if it's really that important. --Vik Reykja ♬ 10:35, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- And thousands of readers are probably offput by references to evolution as truth. Should we include information based on whether it displeases an audience?
Well i think the "had an early aptitude for mathematics" bit is a bit unsupported.. furthermore, rumour has it he is named Monkey Face by intimi? Anyone care to back that up?
Improve
This article is quite confusing. How did Ellison become a billionaire? What does Oracle do?Anthony717 04:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
