[edit] Wrong picture

That picture isn't David Filo...

Yes it is. I saw him in person today. Oren0 03:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I second the yes; I think the light in the picture just lightens the color of his hair. I saw him the other day too, probably in the same event that Oren0 saw him at. Koreantoast 06:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

That picture is taken straight off the web. It most certainly is him.

[edit] Wrong text

And the text of this entry is pure fiction.

Why isn't this dude's birthdate given? Every other biography I've read on Wikipedia, including his partner's, has a birthdate.

[edit] Wrong Wife Reference

The article listed David Filo's wife as Linda. This is incorrect. David's wife should be Angela Buenning, a photographer and teacher in East Palo Alto, who he married late last year. They have been dating for 13 years before they were married. I second that! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vickyinepa (talk • contribs) 20:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Salary

Where exactly is the source that he makes $40 million a year? Szygny (talk) 15:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I removed the $40 million salary. It's almost certainly incorrect. In 2007, Jerry Yang made $1. The president, Susan Decker, made $657,500. Ydorb (talk) 21:37, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
