Julian Assange cover as Infobox picture?

Forbes did somewhat notably do cover story on Assange/Wikileaks but using such as the primary article photo seems needlessly polarizing. I think it would be appropriate to change the photo (perhaps to a cover from one of their signature list issues? ). GrouchDouglass8 (talk) 05:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Randall Lane is not editor in chief

The article is inconsistent, stating that Steve Forbes is editor-in-chief in the lead while having Randall Lane in the infobox. Some shallow research shows Randall Lane is the chief content officer and an editor but not the editor-in-chief. Edit happened here by User:WakeFan1991, who has a history of making unconstructive edits. The article for Randall Lane is also faulty, edit made by User:MSincccc, possibly in order to reconcile with the Forbes (this) article. Ctleans (talk) 00:48, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who owns Forbes? June 2023

Reading an article that was supposedly from Forbes magazine that was emailed to me on June 10, 2023, I find phrasing and view-point different from what I expect from "Forbes". The Wikipedia article about "Forbes" media starts with Whale Media being the majority owner - but, at the very end of the article, it says Austin Russell (young billionaire) bought it in May, 2023. Who owns "Forbes"? 2600:1700:AD47:6830:65B0:A2BE:1CFA:C351 (talk) 14:39, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted outdated info in lead on ownership and sourced 2023 info in this regard. Significant other info/sourcing in this article is outdated and no longer accurate. Moreover, as the print "Forbes" presumably moves toward oblivion, "Forbes.com" has for some years defined the brand. Yet apparently, an editor here sees this article as primarily about the print magazine, which is fine. At present (aug. 2023) it does still exist!

Strangely, an editor insists on reverting this article to inaccurate information based on outdated sources. The action was taken with the claim that the information was "uncited." Yet it was indeed offered with a sourcce. I will restore it and add more sources. 32.221.207.102 (talk) 23:24, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Forbes councils

There is a redirect from Forbes Business Council to this page. But when I got here, I didn't see a anything on Forbes Business Council so I decided to create a Forbes councils section, yesterday. I just came to see if I can make more contributions to it, only to and find out that it has been deleted for reason that my citations are from paid blogs. Forbes councils do exist, and there's a lot of information about it online. I would suggest that anyone who has time and can identify credible sources should please rewrite the section and make appropriate citations as I cannot help beyond what I have already done. I think it's good we have a section on this. Bemmax (talk) 05:53, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How is it an "American" business magazine.

Doesn't seem like they're limited to American business. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:A9B:D750:207B:407D (talk) 04:08, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
