I believe the clause above "including founder of Wikipedia ..." should instead read "including co-founder of Wikipedia ...". What is the etiquette for such a revision to the main article? (please note, before the inevitable, that the designation of "co-founder" is the hard-won usage in many other articles) -- Seth Finkelstein ( talk) 01:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC) reply

I changed it to say "co-founder." Cla68 ( talk) 05:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Thanks for doing that, accuracy matters. -- Seth Finkelstein ( talk) 06:17, 23 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Major or substantive edits are usually not approved, but it's fine to fix typos and so on (particularly as the typo in this instance resulted in an meaning that was not desired or intended by the authors). Thank you. Ncmvocalist ( talk) 13:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Of course leaving the definite article out leaves wiggle room for those that want it. Rich  Farmbrough, 13:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC). reply
