Curatorial Title

Anderson has the title of "Curator," a title whose traditional definition refers to the scholarship, maintenance and display of a collection of tangible works of art, history, science or culture. The word has been dilluted in recent years and has been appropriated to include everything from interior design to shopkeeping to to disc jockeying. In such a high profile role, it seems unusual that Anderson would endorse this misuse or overly generous use of language.

Huh? Isn't that exactly what he does at TED? TED talks would be regarded by many as tangible works of art, history, science and culture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.149.93 (talk) 02:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested move

I suggest we move this to Chris Anderson (entrepreneur), as he has done other things besides being part of TED. Anyone against it? Enobeno (talk) 09:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The question is: does the proposed title disambiguate satisfactorily? The Chris Anderson (writer) article states that he is the chairman of a start up company for example. Skomorokh 11:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC) Thats not the same Chris Anderson.[reply]

I would propose proceeding with the move proposed by Enobeno in 2008. The current title is odd and very unusual for Wikipedia. I can't recall seeing a title that was not a description of the role for which they were notable, rather than the organisation they currently work for. He was an entrepreneur, and probably already Notable, before getting involved in TED. Does anyone have any views on moving him to Chris Anderson (entrepreneur)? Peteinterpol

Have now moved this page as proposed.Peteinterpol (talk) 19:15, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where was he born?

In the article it was said that he was born in Pakistan. In another location in the article it is Kazakhstan !!--وسام زقوت (talk) 13:14, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
