(Uniformity with other Fidelity Funds articles)So I created a few articles forFidelity Contrafund andFidelity Low-Priced Stock. I also createdFidelity Magellan, but didn't realize this page already existed. Frankly, I agree with a lot of the comments below about neutrality and writing style. I am not sure that a lot of the content in the current page is worth keeping, outside the manager table. Therefore, I copied over the manager table, and will mark this page as suggested to merge into the "new" page. Community please feel free to correct/change course if you disagree.— Precedingunsigned comment added byData8504 (talk •contribs)20:57, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please ensure that any new additions to this article are carefully referenced. An anonymous editor came in with a new version that had language such as "each manager was a legend in his own right." That kind of language cannot be used unless there is a clear third-partyreliable source reference which confirms that kind of information, thanks. --Elonka14:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good Point. The verbiage has been changed to be more neutral. Most references I could find refer to Peter Lynch as legendary, but not all of the managers. Thanks for your help.—Precedingunsigned comment added by68.174.149.255 (talk •contribs) 16:29, April 13, 2007

Part of the problem here, is that when you're making a change, you're completely wiping out the older version, and removing a lot of necessary wiki formatting. My recommendation, especially since you're new here, is to slow down a bit. Try adding just a paragraph or two at a time, and indicate with each addition, what your source is for that addition, perWP:V. That will help the article to grow in a more controlled way, and we can more easily doublecheck for aneutral tone. --Elonka17:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

--ElonThe old version is incorporated within the new version. The old version is incomplete. Please let me know what specific issues, if any, you have with the new version.—Precedingunsigned comment added by68.174.149.255 (talk •contribs) 16:29, April 13, 2007

I'm okay onexpanding the old version, but I don't think it needs to be completely replaced. It has useful hyperlinks in thelead section, which get completely deleted with your version. Other specific concerns:

• It's not clear where your information is coming from
• Adjectives and turns of phrase which are non-neutral (legendary, world-renowned, short but outstanding career, "Harry Lange represents a sea of change for the Magellan fund").
• Vague terms like "many people," which are non-encyclopedic. See Eliminating redundancy

For a specific example, this sentence: "Peter Lynch may have a reputation for picking stocks, but his most undervalued skill must have been marketing his fund." That doesn't sound encyclopedic, it sounds like marketing copy. It's definitely not neutral.

So, again, I recommend moving slowly. Add just a single paragraph, written in a neutral manner, which includes your sources for the major claims. Let's get that one paragraph into shape, and then expand from there. :) --Elonka18:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just discoverd that the entire lead sction came from herehttp://www.answers.com/topic/magellan-fund and it is filled with incorrect and dated information.

Given that the lead section is incorrect, we updated it to reflect acurate information and will create hyperlinks from there. References used to build the piece are included now as well.

Rather than leave information we know to be incorrect, we should begin with correct information and add hyperlinks to enhance the usefulness of the article.—The precedingunsigned comment was added by68.174.149.255 (talk)11:29, 17 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

You can already get a ten year history directly from Fidelity's website.[2] Although I do think it would be useful to give the entire history.Finance-writer12:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right. And if you have it in the chart, you don't need a section describing AUM.VivekVish23:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So in Peter Lynch's 1994 book, Beating the Street, on page 84, he says that Dick Haberman ran the Magellan fund from 1972 (taking over for Ned Johnson) until Lynch took over in 1977.
