Jack Ma is not the official name of Ma Yun. Per WP:NCP, the title should remain as Jack Ma as it is his most common name, but I believe the description should be changed from Jack Ma Yun to Ma Yun, or more commonly referred as, Jack Ma. Daftation 🗩 🖉 18:05, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Is "Yun" part of his first or last name?

Apokrif (talk) 17:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

It's his first name. His name is really confusingly presented in the lead; I've never seen another East Asian person whose name has been presented this way (i.e. English first name -> surname -> East Asian first name). It's almost like "Jack" Ma Yun. This wording seems to be used by some English-lang news sources , but not sure how much Wikipedia has influenced this. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 14:02, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Is there a better photo of Ma?

His face appears somewhat distorted in the infobox photo. Is there a better alternative? ERBuermann (talk) 14:31, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

I concur on this, the photo on this article is weird compared to much of the other public photos of Ma. Gamma1138 (talk) 07:17, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Return to China?

I think he may have returned to China after the conclusion of his time in Japan, and founded a new startup. I'm a bit lazy to dig into it and can't read a Japan Times article behind a paywall, but if someone can add the info that'd be appreciated. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 13:57, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

The brackets in co-founder should not be there. Wallahi 90.242.21.0 (talk) 22:38, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: I've rewritten that sentence, so this change is no longer neccesary. Capybara Fan (talk) 17:31, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Reputability of East Gates source

This source is an English-only translation. The translator is affiliated with a missionary organization. The Christian theological language appears editorial. The original Chinese remarks are not given for due diligence. There is no available Chinese-language source confirming that Jack Ma made such explicitly Christian statements, despite his prominence and media scrutiny. It is hosted and translated by a Christian missionary organization, with a clear ideological agenda. The source even has the classically apocryphal "Jonathan Edwards vs. Max Jukes" Story. 2600:8801:AD0A:C300:88E8:E803:655:89CD (talk) 21:22, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
