I don't believe "atheism" is considered a religion. Not only is it not capitalized when used, like other religions, but it's probably the antithesis of "religion." --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 01:50, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Media are full of the story of this individual's commitment to kill and butcher the meat he eats. Apparently one of a number of yearly resolutions. Seems noteworthy to me in view of the persons role,reputation in economic life. Lycurgus (talk) 20:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC) (This should go on Zuckerberg's Wikipedia Page, not on Facebook)
In the year 2011 Zuckerberg has slaughtered a goat and a pig, argueing that he wanted to appreciate fact that the meat he eats is basically from a living soul origin, namely an animal. Critics has raised a concern aboat the morality of this action. Some have offered that he would make a contribution to a research for making meat artificially - "In Vitro" meat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.90.35.105 (talk) 15:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Early years
Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software as a child in middle school. His father taught him Atari BASIC Programming in the 1990s, and later hired software developer David Newman to tutor him privately. Newman calls him a "prodigy," adding that it was "tough to stay ahead of him." Zuckerberg also took a graduate course in the subject at Mercy College near his home while he was still in high school. He enjoyed developing computer programs, especially communication tools and games. In one such program, since his father's dental practice was operated from their home, he built a software program he called "ZuckNet," which allowed all the computers between the house and dental office to communicate by pinging each other. It is considered a "primitive" version of AOL's Instant Messenger, which came out the following year.[2] According to writer Jose Antonio Vargas, "some kids played computer games. Mark created them." Zuckerberg himself recalls this period: "I had a bunch of friends who were artists. They'd come over, draw stuff, and I'd build a game out of it." However, notes Vargas, Zuckerberg was not a typical "geek-klutz," as he later became captain of his prep school fencing team and earned a classics diploma. Napster employee Sean Parker, a close friend, notes that Zuckerberg was "really into Greek odysseys and all that stuff,” recalling how he once quoted lines from the Latin epic poem Aeneid, by Virgil, during a Facebook product conference.[2]
During Zuckerberg's high school years, under the company name Intelligent Media Group, he built a music player called the Synapse Media Player that used artificial intelligence to learn the user's listening habits, which was posted to Slashdot[28]
I just wanted to note that uhm.... these same paragraphs could be written about literally millions of young teenagers all over the world. Decora (talk) 22:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I find your statement extraordinarily confusing and nonsensical. How could paragraphs containing specific biographical information like the name of the programs he wrote as a teenager be written about any young person? Can you point to someone else who created ZuckNet or Synapse, or who was tutored by David Newman? Your post makes no sense. Aerovistae (talk) 22:52, 4 February 2012 (UTC)February 4 2012

Maybe I'm getting the lingo wrong here, but according to this new Mashable article: "claims 56.9% voting power in Facebook and owns more than 1 billion shares in the company." I'm not sure if this necessitates a change in the little side bio box thing.

OK. So the article says that Mark Zuckerberg is an ethnic Jew and an atheist. There is a paradox: one is a religion, and the other is not. My point is, does he have a religion or not? Or is his status of being an ethnic Jew part of cultural heritage that he receives from his parents, not his own beliefs? 164.107.190.104 (talk) 20:02, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
"Jewish" is a religion and an adjective to describe an ethnicity, the Ashkenazic Jews. His ethnicity is Jewish, but he has no religion. He is an Atheist Jew; there is no contradiction.

Ok, so I guess we can't agree on putting other poeple's ethnicity into their own pages, but what about nationality? That needs to be put under his picture, so people will know where he is from. We can't just put his ethnicity in there, what's the point of pointing out he is Jewish?

Color blindness.. In the article it says, "Zuckerberg sees blue best because of red–green colorblindness; blue is also Facebook's dominant color.[98]"
The link to 98 references http://articles.cnn.com/2010-09-20/tech/zuckerberg.facebook.list_1_mark-zuckerberg-facebook-jose-antonio-vargas?_s=PM:TECH and nowhere does it mention about him having color blindness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmsbrke (talk • contribs) 18:14, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
According to the source of where the idea that Zuckerberg has some for of color-blindness seems to point to this source
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/ask/2010/09/jose-antonio-vargas-facebook.html " JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS: It’s not a clinical diagnosis, if that’s what you’re asking. He told me he took one of those online color-blind blot tests, when he was at Harvard. It’s not particularly extreme, he said, just red-and-green colorblindness. But blue, he said, is the clearest color he can see.
Here’s a quote from an interview: “I can see a little bit of red or a little bit of green. Blues are just the richest for me—I can see all of blue.”
Read more http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/ask/2010/09/jose-antonio-vargas-facebook.html#ixzz1vR3xdgup "
The person who interviewed Mark was Jose, and Jose even mentions that it's not a "clinical diagnosis". Mark took an "online" color-blind blot tests, perhaps individually on his own that anybody can take on for themselves-- or he may have been joking about this-- which may explain as to why his "color blindness" wasn't a real clinical diagnosis.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmsbrke (talk • contribs) 18:26, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

This picture is in the article. It is very important. I did not know until yesterday that Zuckerberg is extremely short. A little taller than a midget, though.

This is borderline disruptive editing. We have established a consensus that Zuckerberg is Jewish, the current article as of John's edit includes Zuckerberg's status as a Jewish atheist. So now is John arguing Zuckerberg is not an American?? Jewish atheist is okay, American Jew is not? BLP discussion. WikifanBe nice 20:51, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
I have a few concerns about this ethnicity issue. First of all, why is the ethnicity mentioned at all? You don't see Barack Obama's infox listing him as African. Ethnicity is a very controversial slippery slope and it should not be advocated in this article without consensus to do it for all articles. This issue will become very problematic as there are no good reference sources to a person's ethnicity other than their physical appearances. Second, the article mentions that Zuckerberg was raised Jewish. This is a very valid statement and there are good references to show it. However, "Jewish" in this context refers to a religion. He was raised under the traditions of the Jewish religion which he later left and became an atheist. This fact, and all the supporting references, do not establish Judaism as his ethnicity. The claim of "Jewish" ethnicity is only creating confusion about his religion and adding absolutely nothing to the rest of the article. With this argument, I want to propose that we remove the references to Zuckerberg's ethnicity from this article. They are un-referenced and are creating more ambiguity than they dispel. Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 20:30, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
President Obama's article mentions that he is African in the first paragraph. Auchansa (talk) 05:30, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand why this continues to be edited out - link. Zuckerberg is an ethnic Jew, the article's body verifies this. One does not need to self-identify as an ethnic Jew, just as one does not need to self-identify as a Native American, African-American, etc. If editors want to redefine what the wikipedia community has accepted as the litmus test for Jew, they should take their proposal to the appropriate noticeboard/forum. WikifanBe nice 19:50, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
As your usual position? He has two Jewish parents, he is listed as one of the most influential Jews - reliable source, marriage - reliable source. "Limited association?" What? Is Karl Marx a Jew? Because under this new, incorrect application of blpcat - which doesn't apply to ethnicity - he is less of a Jew than Zuckerberg. He is a Jew unless editors can provide evidence to the contrary and that blpcat applies to ethnicity as well as religion. This shouldn't be an issue anymore. WikifanBe nice 20:26, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Just put "Ethnicity: Jewish" in the infobox or something, maybe that wasn't such a bad idea. The Miliband example is quite funny because there's a guy (Miliband) who said something along the lines of "Obviously I'm Jewish", and yet there was still a massive argument and dispute about him. Too much time on some people's hands. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 22:34, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
What is up with this edit? There is no debate that BLPcat does not cover "ethnicity", so how can you cite BLPcat in removing something that is labeled "ethnicity"? All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 23:17, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Blind labeling? That would be a legitimate statement if Zuckerberg didn't have two Jewish parents and reliable sources confirming he is not only Jewish, but one of the world's most influential Jews. Hallow updated the infobox to include the fact that he is Jewish. The edit was reverted because lack of consensus? What? What is the consensus suggesting Zuckerberg is not Jewish? One editor says he is "leaning atheist" - okay, we have Jewish atheists. Stick with the facts, stick with the reliable sources. We as editors are obligated to edit according to what reliable sources tell us, not how we as editors interpret ethnic rules. WikifanBe nice 00:07, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
especially when its disputed content - Where's the dispute about his Jewishness? He is ethnically a Jew. I agree with User:Wikifan12345. Why this discussion is even taking place is beyond me. Brendon is here 00:15, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
Template:Infobox person shows there are a multitude of optional details that can be added. None are absolutely required. And the purpose of an infobox implies that labeling him as Jewish, when the text goes further into his later decisions, would not accurately "summarize key facts in the article" and could be misleading for some. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 00:21, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Mark Zuckerberg owns 632.65 million shares in facebook(1) valued at around 28 dollars as of 14th Feb 2013(2). The Forbes profile used as evidence of his net worth is outdated (September 2012(5)) as a) share prices have moved significantly since then and b) his share holding has increased by about 130 million shares ( he has gained over 3.6 Billion dollars worth of shares in compensation from Facebook according to their most recent SEC filing (1) for an unspecified reason - possibly in lieu of wages). Rounding to the nearest hundred million the product of the number of shares he owns and the individual share price gives $17.7B (632,650,000*$28 = $17,714,200,000).
This is the minimum number of shares he could hold as a) he has pledged not to sell for a year (3) and b) he may have gained shares since the last filing. His mortgage debt is insignificant relatively speaking(4) at under 6 million dollars and he has no other significant liabilities that are known of in the public domain, if any at all.
However, his recent Philanthropic donation of 500 million dollars may take the form of a liability taken against his Facebook holdings. To my knowledge it is not specified. One would assume it to be a liability because he has no other publicly known source for that amount of money by way of his dividends nor has taken advantage of any liquidity event of that magnitude by selling shares on that scale since Facebooks inception(no reference). His donation may not yet been given and take the form a pledge to give over or within a period of time. Its nature is unclear and there is no public information that I have found on it.
It is usual, simplest, and possibly least likely to be systematically or otherwise biased for somebody whose worth is exclusively or near exclusively tied to the value of their holdings in a public company for their approximate net worth to be considered solely derived from and therefore equal to the value of their vested holdings; for an approximation in an article like this. This simple approach gives $17.7B.
Certainly at the very least, for the sake of accuracy, the Forbes valuation of 9.4 Billion Dollars should be removed. Forbes may well constitute a strong source however in the case of Mark Zuckerberg and his changing net worth it has not been updated recently enough and was, I believe, last updated in September 2012 in their Forbes 400 list(5).

The article states that Mark Zuckerberg had been a vegetarian since 2011 and notes his official Facebook page as the source. On his Facebook page the only reference about him being a vegetarian is this one post of him which made him a vegetarian during 2011 if you can say so. He would actually still eat meat if he killed the animal himself. However, this was one of Zuckerberg's year-long challenges he has had in his past. He has noted other challenges on his Facebook page. The source doesn't imply that he has been a vegetarian since 2011. FlorianZemke (talk) 09:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately there seems to be an unusual level of noise on this talk page...
Nevertheless, I want to raise an issue with Zuckerberg being called a philanthropist. All this basically means in his case is that he gives some money to charities, and considering the amount, may also dictate some structure as to the way that money is handled. Ergo, almost every very wealthy person's bio on wiki describes them as a philanthropist.
Does wiki consider it NPOV to describe almost every billionaire on the planet as a philanthropist?
This is clearly not NPOV, and even quite sinister. Wiki should not have an implicit neo-liberal POV.
For instance, if billionaires faced the kind of taxes that the Rockerfellers or Mellon faced, would they still be "philanthropists"? Apart from Bill Gates and a few others, this is not clearly the case. (Even with Gates there are major questions regarding possible corporate bias of e.g. One Foundation, as per relevant wiki pages.)
I am removing philanthropist from his description. I am relabeling the Philanthropy section 'Charitable Works'. The purpose of wiki is not to aggrandize the very wealthy simply for donating relatively small amounts of money to charity.
Clearly these changes need to be made across the board. But I'll start with this bio.
Edit - the article is locked. Please open up discussion here vis a vis making these changes. I will join if necessary to open up discussions on a wider policy. I am firmly of the opinion that the purpose of wiki bios should not be to suck up to the wealthy by calling them all philanthropists simply for making relatively small donations to charity (I think most people donate to charity, and have less left over afterwards than these people - ergo the donations are small). It is not NPOV, it is distasteful, and for a non-profit organization like wikipedia it is quite frankly pathetic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.255.66.157 (talk • contribs)
The first point is good to hear, and I think fair. Regarding the second, that's very problematic, since the sum effect of these sections is clearly not, in my opinion, NPOV. For instance, if wiki standards allowed a specific 'Oppression of the Proletariat' section or a specific section for 'Corporate Tax Avoidance' for every relevant bio (beyond criticisms and controversies), it would clearly not be NPOV, and I for one am glad that wiki standards do not allow it, assuming they don't. But the pervading rhetoric of "philanthropy" is every bit as politically and ideologically loaded. I'll try to take this up with wiki standards. Otherwise we should allow a range of other sections/subsections as standard, such as the ones I mentioned.
Again, wiki, as a non-profit org, should not have flawed standards which condemn it to becoming a PR mouthpiece for the world's wealthy - they can manage that quite well already themselves.

"Zuckerberg's mother has Bulgarian ancestry. He was named after her father, Marco, who emigrated from Bulgaria during the 1940s."
This part of his biography must be deleted for there is absolutely no real proof of it. It is based on a quote from a made-up article in TV India. The online edition has based it's information on a false, satiric materials, published in Bulgaria for 1st of April (April fools day).

I apologize, perhaps I was not being clear earlier. Its a facet of the personality, neither demeaning nor dignifying. There are proper references to the fact. It also explains why the product, this person is popular for, has a dominant color. Can we still consider this trivial ? Shouldn't we infact explain under the facebook section of the wiki why Blue is the dominant color. Snuggums ? In my humble opinion, there are other "fansite" like material on the wiki.

Why is it not displayed in Mark Zuckerberg's article the "Dumb fucks" episode? http://www.businessinsider.com/well-these-new-zuckerberg-ims-wont-help-facebooks-privacy-problems-2010-5?IR=T
Mark Zuckerberg is almost entirely dissociable from Facebook and that episode is relevant to Mark Zuckerberg himself and completely relevant to the pair Mark Zuckerberg<->Facebook and obviously should be included in this article as a description of how he might view the users of his services. I was quite surprised to find that information missing from this article and, apart from Fanboyism or censorship, I can't think of a reason why that is not included in this article.
According to the statement (ref. https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-zuckerberg/a-letter-to-our-daughter/10153375081581634?pnref=story) : "We will give 99% of our Facebook shares -- currently about $45 billion -- during our lives to advance this mission." he is not even a billionaire, the article should be updated.

Under the heading "Philanthropy", the third paragraph states "On December 9, 2010, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and investor Warren Buffett signed a promise they called 'The Giving Pledge', in which they promised to donate to charity at least half of their wealth over the course of time, and invited others among the wealthy to donate 50% or more of their wealth to charity." However, since Zuckerberg and Chan have subsequently pledged to put 99% of their Facebook stock into the "Chan Zuckerberg Initiative" LLC, they clearly can no longer abide by their earlier pledge, since 99% of their assets are going to an LLC, not a charity. Consequently, that section needs to be rewritten, or to have it spelled out that they can no longer abide by "The Giving Pledge". Bricology (talk) 04:28, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
In its broadest definition, "philanthropy" simply means "the love of mankind", but the way in which the word is most commonly understood, there are more specific and stringent parameters. Most commonly, it means to give something of value for the benefit of others who have less, at one's own expense. Doing so usually entails donating money or other liquid, tangible assets, to a charitable organization. There is no doubt that Zuckerberg and Chan have done this in the past. However, it has been argued in many reputable media outlets (The New York Times, The New Yorker, etc.) that the "Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative" does not qualify as philanthropy. The assets they are promising to gradually transfer into it will remain under their control, there are no regulations requiring them to ever actually disburse any assets, and indeed, an LLC such as they have formed, can and often does produce a profit, which again, is under no obligation to be spent. Unless and until any Facebook stock that has been transferred to the CZI is actually sold and the money is spent on public-benefit projects, it simply does not qualify as a philanthropy and therefore, it does nothing in practical terms to advance Zuckerberg's philanthropy. And somewhere amidst all of the PR and praise, it seems to have been forgotten that a 32 year-old promising to transfer 99% of his stock to another entity over the course of his lifetime, is something less than a sure thing. Lest we forget the historical trajectories of social media networks: SixDegrees.com, founded in 1997, was worth $125 million at its peak and was defunct by 2001, Friendster, founded in 2002 was worth $53 million at its peak and by 2005 -- squat, MySpace, founded in 2003 was worth $1.6 billion in 2006 and not 2% of that in 2012, and Bebo, founded in 2005 was worth $850 million in 2008 and was bankrupt 5 years later. No social media network has ever held its value for even a decade, so the notion that Facebook stock is going to even hold its value over ten years, much less "a lifetime", is ahistorical in the extreme. Consequently, a cynic might be tempted to see Zuckerberg and Chan's "gift" as something less than golden, and something more akin to a public relations campaign and tax shelter.

Once at college, Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard thing" until Zuckerberg decided to spread it to other schools, enlisting the help of roommate Dustin Moskovitz. They began with Columbia, New York University, Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, Penn, Brown, and Yale. Samir Laine, a triple jumper representing Haiti at the 2012 Summer Olympics, shared a room with Zuckerberg during Facebook's founding. "Mark was clearly on to great things," said Laine, who was Facebook's fourteenth user.

There are MANY theories out there that state that Mark Zuckerberg is, in fact, an alien. Mark Zuckerberg covers up his laptop's webcam and microphone so that the FBI can't watch him take off his human skin. Evidence of this includes a picture of the Zucc walking his dog, but his legs are bent forward. This would indicate that the aliens that made him accidentally messed up his knee joints so that they bend the wrong way. Give me da zucc (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

This line under the heading 'Early Life' is improperly phrased. At 13 years of age, Jewish children do not 'become' a Bar Mitzvah, but rather, they 'have' one.
'Zuckerberg was raised Jewish and became a Bar Mitzvah when he turned 13.'
Please fix this absurd error, as it is disturbing my peace of mind as well as offending my cultural sensitivities. 82.108.129.154 (talk) 12:32, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Can someone please defend calling Mark Zuckerberg a "philanthropist"? I do not think he is known for being a philanthropist, nor that most people believe he is one, and the cited articles don't defend this statement either. I'm fine with the opening paragraph, but I support removing "and philanthropist" unless there is a good argument in favor of keeping it. Alexgleason (talk) 20:15, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
He is not a technology entrepreneur, nor is Facebook a technology company. It uses technology, just as a store or media company does. It does not create technology.
Facebook is an advertising company whose business model is based on surveillance and exploitation of billions of people's data. It constantly mines the data of those with accounts and those without, the latter by 'shadow profiles' which tie web, app and communication usage to personal devices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.56.112 (talk) 04:18, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Is there a reason none of Zuckerberg's controversies have made it into the lede? It features prominently in the body and certainly is WP:DUE.

He had studied in Harvard University and therefore is automatically an alma mater of the University. Someone doesn't have to get a degree from a institution to be an alma mater of it as long as they have legally and ethically entered the institute. Then also it's a matter of controversy and debate.
As Mark had studied there and only left at the end of his sophomore year, it will be rather foolish to take away his status as being an alma mater of Harvard. SoloKnowHow83 (talk) 15:24, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

He claims that: A precosmic personhood pre-existing within the non-spatiotemporal but pure nothing is possible. The person-god is defined by his personhood has many informational constituents as memories, thus he is not a philosophical simple. Belief - which means certain opinion - is more important than the fact that mereologically the fields of physics are more rigorously defined and testable. Acceptance of the parental metaphysical worldview is kindness. Methodical thought is pure evil because it leads to cosmological antipersonocracy. 1. personhood might occur in actual nothing, without social interactions and other persons (see the example of god), 2. everything within the universe happens for a reason understood and beneficial towards at least one personhood, 3. personhood is more fundamental than the Universe even if it requires more fundamental constituents which occupy many shannons; Bertrand Russell and metalogic are less important than magic, 4. at least one personhood created the Universe, 5. soothing opinions understood by persons are closer to truth than data, facts and mathematics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:8402:5000:247C:A69A:480D:45DB (talk) 01:11, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

There is literally no mention in this article about how Mark Zuckerberg leads a PUBLICLY-TRADED company and yet has absolute command over it, and doesn't even own a majority of the economic shares. He doesn't have to listen to the board because they can't fire him. He doesn't have to listen to investors. The vast majority of publicly-traded corporations in America don't operate like this. Isn't this like maybe an important piece of information, given most American's 401K is probably invested in this half a trillion dollar company? Major investors have complained about this; for example, check this story out.DonCucos (talk) 06:59, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
I think the one-dollar salary in the infobox is highly misleading. It's technically correct, but it reads like he's some benevolent saint working for no compensation whatsoever. It's a financial/PR stunt that has no place in the infobox. 31.210.180.229 (talk) 07:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello ZimZalaBim. The section on political views mentions Zuckerburg's support for undocumented immigrants, his participation in an LGBT Pride parade, sympathy for Muslims, support for Black Lives Matter, and opposition to Trump's immigration order banning immigration from certain Muslim majority countries. Certainly, this is enough evidence to conclude that the statement that Zuckerburg has not expressed political views is false. Display name 99 (talk) 04:43, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

'The New Yorker noted that by the time Zuckerberg began classes at Harvard in 2002, he had already achieved a "reputation as a programming prodigy."'
(1) He could write basic programs. This does not constitute being a 'programming prodigy. Many, many people can do this by their teens. (2) The vague reference to the New Yorker is not properly cited. (3) The New Yorker is not, in any case, a reliable source for programming competence. If he was truly competent, let alone good, there should be far more reliable sources. (4) His programming contribution to Facebook was to take someone else's code and modify it. While this requires basic competence it is not even vaguely indicative of 'prodigy' status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.172.182.231 (talk) 19:47, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

As a side note see the following text and the articles Fourth dimension in literature and Talk:Fourth dimension in literature
A person is capable of writing in higher dimensions if the Word is properly defined.
Word (disambiguation) Word (mathematics), an ordered sequence of symbols chosen from a predetermined set or alphabet Word (group theory), a product of group elements and their inverses
Currently for humans, word is more fundamental than mathematics in general because we start with language or words to define anything including axioms. The disambiguation describes Word (mathematics) as: an ordered sequence of symbols chosen from a predetermined set or alphabet
As a simple example consider the following: a person may define rules for writing and/or reading the words such as left to right, top to bottom; however, a person may define the writing and/or reading to be time dependent in which case the person would then be reading or/and writing in four dimensions. Defining additional properties such as vector spaces for directionality allows one to write and/or read, or/and, read and/or write in much higher dimensions than that. Another simple example is to think of words - more fundamental than math - and use color to represent those words. This further expands the ability of a person to conceptualize and possibly even communicate notions without the need to define language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UniversalHumanTranscendence (talk • contribs) 01:16, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

@SNUGGUMS: @Viriditas: This issue has been a contention for a little while now. I support inclusion of the alma mater parameter and it should read "Harvard University (dropped out)". Zuckerberg's time at Harvard was an extremely influential time of his life and is significant to the way his life has gone, hence his notability. Typically, this parameter is not used for non-graduates, but it can be in certain circumstances. Template:Infobox person when describing the alma mater parameter says it can be used for non graduates in situations like this (They use Bill Gates as an example). Gates in many ways is just like Zuckerberg. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 01:22, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
The university, school, or college one formally attended.[1] Merriam Webster has a similar definition.[2] It would be inaccurate to say that you must be a graduate, you just have to attend. I see Zuckerberg's situation as a good example of when you should use this parameter for a non graduate. I wouldn't say the infobox template frowns upon it, it says there are cases when you can. Also, that template, as explained by Viriditas, is just a recommendation. It's not even an official guideline or policy. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 02:04, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
References
When I see or hear "alma mater" used by non-Wikipedians, it more often than not implies they graduated from the place being discussed. Even though using the "education" parameter wouldn't be as risky as "alma mater" for dropouts, I'd rather err on the side of caution by just sticking to institutions one got degrees from.

These discussion have dealt with this issue: Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 21#Alma mater - abstract question, Template talk:Infobox person/Archive 30#Education and Alma_Mater.
