  • Comment: Please cut down the WP:REFBOMBING, there is no way this requires 54 citations! Most statements require only one. And completely non-contentious ones like "Jenk Oz is a British social entrepreneur and change activist" certainly don't need four. Start by getting rid of The Sun and Daily Mail, these are deprecated sources that must not be cited. Also consider removing the Forbes ones, per WP:FORBESCON.
