Semi-protected edit request on 1 October 2016[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Put the name "Rajeev Motwani" with the google's founder member names, as he was the superior intellect for making this giant 'GOOGLE' a reality. He developed many key algorithms for it, also these algorithms were developed long before and are still being used in operating critical operations of Google. Hence Rajeev Motwani's contribution is exceptional and spectacular for which his name must be mentioned as the head google founder.

103.234.189.58 (talk) 05:43, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Not done: Rajeev Motwani was a highly influential figure in the creation of the Google search engine, but Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the founders of Google as a company.[1]--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:16, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

google founded by a person from india and then it was been sold to an american citizen Sam1568 (talk) 11:47, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Not done: see the section above.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 12:15, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

New Section[edit]

Can add some information about Google mini-games that can be played when clicking on the logo. --Zlatatref (talk) 17:27, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

This isn't really notable here as the article is about the company rather than the search engine. Some of the Google Doodles have included games and it is mentioned there.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:43, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
