If so, i wonder what could motivate such a person. Well, i fixed what i could and upgraded as i could. I'm always happy to help improve Misplaced Pages.

rumor removed
I have removed the following: "It is rumored that Bill Gates, whilst he was attending Harvard, discovered a copy of The Master Key System. According to the rumour, Mr. Gates was so inspired by the tome that he dropped out of school and began his computer business career, which resulted in him being the wealthiest man in the world as the founder and owner of Microsoft. ."
Rumor does not constitute grounds for inclusion in Misplaced Pages. If someone can get a reliable source, such as an interview with Bill Gates, that confirms the rumor, the information can be restored.
Looks a lot better not.
It has been since been updated again. Hope the advert code can be removed.

Attempted upgrade
This page contained a high level of redundncy and fragmentation. I have tried to integrate the material into a more coherent narrative and to remove duplicated links. Further comments and contributions are most welcome. cat yronwode Catherineyronwode 13:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Better sourcing on business career
I added some better sourcing on his business career, and restored the Napoleon Hill letter, whcih had been dropped, but which went a long way toward plcing his notability in full historical context. Funny how since the last time i had checked in the article had gone from 4.500 k to 1,200 k and was tagged for non-notability. It almost seems as if someone named User:hrafn has embarked upon a deletion campaign against early 20th century non-fiction authors. i saw the same sort of thing at the Wallace Wattles page recently. Hmmmm. Perhaps we have a one-track-mind editor on the prowl, someone who hates self-help, New Thought, and success authors of 100 to 50 years ago. Is that possible? If so, i wonder what could motivate such a person. Well, i fixed what i could and upgraded as i could. I'm always happy to help improve Misplaced Pages.

Catherine's time-travelling WP:COPYVIO crusade
In her latest piece of 'wikipedia policy doesn't apply to me' editing, Catherine has copied several paragraphs off SMILE BIG TODAY.com (a very reliable source, I'm sure) without attribution, and cited to a completely different source that was written in 1909, before many of the events the paragraphs narrates took place. Little things like WP:COPYVIO & WP:V don't matter if what you're introducing is the wP:TRUTH do that Catherine? HrafnStalk 10:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
