Thanks, fixed. And BTW, you don't need to have an account to edit Wikipedia. The main benefit of having an account is that you are able to build a reputation as a reliable editor.

Thanks. I read "Dexterity Software was founded in 1994 and is located in Las Vegas" on Dexterity's page and conflated the two points. You're right, it was
not founded in Vegas. Also fixed.

I want to add this article for the same reason I would add any article to Wikipedia - because Wikipedia is a public collection of notable information, and Steve is a notable person. It's for the benefit of Wikipedia users, not for Steve.
And I think you underestimate the significance of Wikipedia. It's not just 'one particular website' - it's probably the largest single public collection of knowledge on the internet. For any topic you plug into Google, odds are that the Wikipedia page will be in the top 2 results.
