Current info and it's source in the article about his ancestors being from Poland violates Using the subject as a self-published source which says: Such material may be used as a source only if: it does not involve claims about third parties. In his post he's talking about third party - his great grandparents, not about himself. So that statement either needs to be removed or clarified, which is what I did.

While I admittedly wasn't familiar with the linked publications, my point on relevance was that simply mentioning Zuck has ancestors from Austria, Germany, Poland is sufficient detail, so I don't see the need to go into specific parts of the countries.

It's not sufficient, but misleading. His ancestors were not from Poland. Because when his great-great grandfather was born in 1866, Poland did not exist on political map of Europe for almost a century at that point. Naturally they also weren't Polish citizens. We don't even know if they ever lived in any Polish state, because Jews used to move around back then. And they could have easily moved to Galicia after partitions from Hungary, Prussia, proper Austria or Lithuania. Korwinski (talk) 18:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
It's usually used as another name for Archduchy of Austria. Sometimes also including surrounding predominantly German-speaking Duchies that were part of Austrian Empire. Examples: 1, 2. 23:13, 28 October 2024 (UTC) Korwinski (talk) 23:13, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Mention of The Social Network in the lead
The introduction presents The Social Network as a film "depicting Zuckerberg's early career, legal troubles and initial success with Facebook". But the film is largely dramatized and only loosely based on what happened. As explained in the article, Aaron Sorkin himself explained that he wanted it to be good storytelling, and was not particularly interested in truth. The introduction should probably hint at this fact. Alenoach (talk) 23:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
I'm inclined to say no per WP:Overcategorization#Non-defining characteristics when that doesn't appear to be a trait he's prominently noted for, at least compared to being a general businessman or facing controversies involving Facebook, regardless of accuracy. We shouldn't simply assume every trait is worth adding a category for. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:31, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Mark Zuckerberg is often referred to as Zuck informally. This includes media too. That should be incorporated one way or the other, perhaps in the introduction. Appu (talk) 10:22, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
