This reads like it was dictated by John Mackey himself to his secretary. 201.141.103.154 21:44, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Added NPOV tag.

It's blatant.

[edit] Readded NPOV tag

The article reads as if it were from Mackey's own bio page. (There may be a more specific tag for this; I'm not sure.)--Media anthro 16:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the article since then-- what do you think now?--Gloriamarie 04:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

This still does not read like a standard encyclopedia biography but more like something written by the marketing department.

[edit] date and place of birth

John was born, as I have added to his page, on 8/15/53 in Houston, Texas to Bill and Margaret Mackey. I know this because I am his sister, Dorothy Mackey Lurie'.
