On the other hand, [[Robert Oppenheimer]] is one of the best articles I've found on Wikipedia, let alone the best biography. I want to know what the editors of that article did that the editors of [[Jane Fonda]] didn't.
Oppenheimer is a world-renowned scientist, whos life is closed, and who's book can be written with both bookends in place.
Gates and Fonda on the other hand are contemporary personalities --each of whom have their feet in both superficial (Gates' ego, Fonda's workouts, etc.) and relevant worlds (Big business, principled protests, etc.).
When I edited the JF article, I had a chuckle at how crappy the bio section was. I did my part (should have seen it before :P) with the parts I was interested in, and left the trivial bits to someone interested in those things. The bio section was so bad as to be *too hard* to edit in my tired state when I happened to be looking it. I did put in on my to-do list though --somewhere after cleaning the bus stop toilet and giving the cat a bath.
