I know there are secondary sources about this but why is there a wikipedia biography of a single ex-google employee? WhiskeyFoxtrot7 (talk) 19:53, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
Ridiculous to have a biography about an ex Google employee.Paige Matheson (talk) 17:37, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
She is really not notable for an article. Saint concrete (talk) 23:49, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
This is pretty clearly written by the subject of this article. 2607:FEA8:F86:DC00:F1EF:F5C2:DF08:F1F0 (talk) 06:28, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Will point out that I have a user account on Wikipedia, have disclosed my conflicts of interest (and thus avoid editing this article or any of the others named in my user page), and if you believe one of the article authors is somehow my sock you are welcome to make a more specific allegation that can be sorted out with WP:CHECKUSER.

The fact that the subject of this article monitors their own talk page is pretty telling of a vanity page — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhiskeyFoxtrot7 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
I take no particular stance on any particular opinions people wish to place in an article about me, but it's trivially disprovable that I attended college "in the Bay Area" before dropping out to work at Google; my LinkedIn shows that I list myself as having attended Caltech in Pasadena from 2005-2007, and you can also verify through at least one third party source that I was a member of Blacker House. Figured I'd point out something that might damage the credibility of the rest of the article. Lizthegrey (talk) 08:30, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
In the "Google Ideological Echo Chamber" section, the previous revision read (emphasis mine):
Fong-Jones said that while the activism always created tension, it turned hostile in 2017 following James Damore's Google's Ideological Echo Chamber memo, which argued that women lacked innate qualities to be engineers using talking points from evolutionary psychology.
The three inline citations provided did not support this at all. Using a Gizmodo ref (that also includes the text of the memo), I have boldy edited it to read (emphasis mine):
Fong-Jones said that while the activism always created tension, it turned hostile in 2017 following James Damore's Google's Ideological Echo Chamber memo, which he argued that women are underrepresented in tech because of inherent psychological differences between men and women rather than bias, using talking points from evolutionary psychology.

Can anybody explain why the term white boy in this article links to a weird neo-Nazi group? Is the reader to make the assumption that all “white boys” are members of this group, or that anyone using the term is a neo-Nazi? Was the term used in the context of calling other Google staff members of a neo-Nazi group? That isn’t explained at all in the article.
It’s rather akin to having the instance of “Muslim” in the article link to ISIS/Daesh, i.e. ridiculous. 2A04:4A43:537F:E43F:8D9F:3977:ED89:FB28 (talk) 11:12, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
For transparency, disclosing that I've lodged Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase#Liz Fong-Jones since there has indeed been an uptick in IP edits since my name was put on the front page of the kiwifarms domain this morning. Will accept if there's not yet consensus that protections are needed, but there's already been the need to oversight 2 changes due to WP:RD2/WP:RD3 so far this morning.

"RelayRide" should be "RelayRides". Lizthegrey (talk) 17:54, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Given the subject of the article is an active editor who watched this page I'm confused as to how we don't have the precise birth year. lizthegrey do you prefer to keep your birth year private or is there just no public mention of it? It's not a big deal or anything but it seems like an omission that could be easily fixed, assuming you don't prefer to not have it known. XeCyranium (talk) 21:19, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
