Should mention be made of the magazines right-wing leanings (or of the political activities of its editor and owners) ?

[edit] "Errors"
I totally utterly agree with the opinion expressed in this section, namely that those jerks at Forbes don't have any basis (besides animosity) to list Castro. But nonetheless, this section imho violates WP:NOR. It should be said, that they have no basis, and that Castro objects to this, but the George W. mention should be kicked.-- ExpImptalkcon 05:11, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't agree that the references to Castro in the section violate WP:NOR, as the implication I got from the paragraph is that Forbes alleged that the calculations are more art then science, not the Wikipedia editor. However, I do agree that the George W. Bush mention should be kicked; as such, I've removed it. - Ecksem Diem 21:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article restructure
I moved everything into easier to read sections. It seemed the article was one huge introduction and then a bunch of tiny sections. I removed the Bono section, as that doesn't seem prevelant enough to mention. I added a link to Elevation Partners, so if someone really wants to dig around, they can see that Bono is on the board of directors of the company that invested in Forbes.

[edit] Reference request
I added a reference tag to the top of the article. The only thing currently references is the fact that Elevation Partners invested in Forbes. All the company history stuff, etc. is not referenced. It seems someone looked all this up, and it would be probably be easy for them to throw in a reference of where they found it.
Inline citations would be preferred. Chupper 21:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for info
If anybody could provide information on which other magazines are considered to compete with Forbes for the same readership, I'd be interested in seeing it. My attempts at Googling this haven't worked so well yet. O^O 19:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
