This article says "born 1968" at the beginning, but later reads "He moved to the United States in 1979 at the age of 13." I have added a {{contradict}} tag to the article. Poker Flunky 18:35, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Someone wants to keep revising to say "An amateur poker player....". This is why I think this whole wiki project is somewhat suspect because there are too many people who stubbornly try to make some point which is obviously not valid. Consider:
- Most jobs won't pay $8.2 million in a lifetime, so clearly financially you could consider him a pro. - All those guys that are so great supposedly, Negraneu, Annie Duke, Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, etc. etc. would probably not want to go the route of admitting you can win a tourney of this magnitude without the sort of skills that make calling Jerry Yang an amateur somewhat ridiculous. That would be like calling Garry Kasparov an amateur chess player if he takes a year off to run for Russian President. - Regardless your view, it definitely adds nothing to mention his amateur status right in the first sentence. It is not the crux of what he accomplished and it doesn't reinforce anything meaningful to all the poker players hoping to oneday duplicate his success or all the past WSOP champs who are widely regarded as pros-Chan, Brunson, Ferguson, Scotty Nguyen. - If you consider poker a skilled game rather than a game of chance (in reality it is some of each), winning $8.2 million doing something skillful definitionally implies a professional status.

Jerry Yang has recently put up a myspace page that is more current than the site created by Full Tilt. His myspace site should be included the external links for this article since it is really the most recent and active information on Jerry Yang. It can be considered a "live" page where as the Full Tilt site of jerryyangpoker.com is basically static and dead.
http://myspace.com/jerryyangpoker is the address, the bot reverted this change.
1) should we include this as an external link? 2) if so how do you get around the bot reverting the link? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.45.51.76 ( talk) 19:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I added the link because I'm working for Jerry on his myspace page. How do you validate his official myspace page as being legitimate official site? Theslacker7 ( talk) 02:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
If his ethnic background is Hmong, then why the hell do we have the Chinese characters and pinyin crap in the lead? For an English language website I see no need for it. Awotter ( talk) 20:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Hmong names are Chinese names. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.34.171 ( talk) 08:27, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
