reformist prince?
[edit]In the article it says "In early 2018, Cook met with Mohammad bin Salman, the reformist crown prince and de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia.[67]" I do not think the use of the word "reformist" is appropriate and reeks of unwarranted bias. I move for it to be removed. I also move for the entire line to be removed, meeting with a crown prince is not a significant event for a CEO of one of the largest corporations on Earth. Rayansb (talk) 17:25, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right about "reformist", so I went ahead and eliminated it. As for removing the entire line, I'm not sure. It seems like it could be significant, depending on what they discussed/how the meeting went, but just having a line about them meeting seems insufficient to me. I'm also not clear on how meeting with MBS constitutes "public advocacy" as opposed to merely part of his job as CEO. -- irn (talk) 17:49, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

- Not done for now: @JulianSchiavo: This is not the proper place to ask for an image to be uploaded to Wikipedia (which is the requirement for it being here). If there's no copyright issues, I suggest you try WP:FFU instead. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 14:07, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Edit suggestion
[edit]I've no idea how to gain access to semi-protected articles, and I'm too lazy to figure it out for such a small edit.
The last few words under Personal Life, "hope that their situation could get better," is awkwardly placed and unnecessary, and should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6080:7B40:742:A034:4E17:D6BE:8528 (talk) 08:43, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Add this page to new language Bahasa Melayu
[edit]I want to ask permission to add this page with a new language which is Bahasa Melayu, please Azran457 (talk) 09:49, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- You are on the English Wikipedia, which only hosts pages in English. You would need to go to Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, which is here: https://ms.wikipedia.org/
- If you need any further help with this, you'll need to ask on Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, since each Wikipedia follows its own rules. Best, DFlhb (talk) 01:37, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

The line at the beginning "Timothy Donald Cook (born November 1, 1960) is an American business executive who has been the chief executive officer of Apple Inc." appears to be worded poorly as it is currently. I believe it should instead say:
"...is an American business executive who is the current chief executive officer of Apple Inc."
or;
"...is an American business executive who has been the chief executive officer of Apple Inc. since August 24, 2011."
