Sources

Hi Esteehand,

I updated some of the references to Fortune and Wall Street Journal articles, and removed all of crunchbase, which is a database. I left Techbase for one citation, because I see that they have an editorial staff. It would be interesting to know the WP:RSN's opinion about using Techbase for this and I may run it by them.

If it was me, I'd replace USA Today with a weightier news source like New York Times or Los Angeles Times (like one of these) — or one of the business or financial magazines. IMO, the stronger the sources, the stronger the article is and appears to be. But, it is much better now and I removed the tag.

I saw that you also added content from news sources. I avoid blogs, even from news sources unless the contributor looks to be on the staff. And that's what it looks like for your source.

Nice article!--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:25, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Examples

While we're waiting to hear from the experts:

Here's one example of a good article for a private equity org. It's an established organization, so there is more information, but it might be helpful. I got this from This GA listing, under Businesses and organizations. There may be more here.

Apollo Global Management

The "start" articles at this worklist of Venture Capital articles and the model here are helpful, too. I am going to try and find some Class A and B articles, too.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:06, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is great! I've been looking, too. Thank you for sharing this. I'm super interested to hear what others say. And I don't know what Class A and B are, so looking for to learning about that, too..haha!(Estee Hand (talk) 00:07, 30 November 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Oh, articles are reviewed and assigned classes according to a quality scale. This is the quality scale for business articles. Stub means just a little information - sometimes just a few sentences to a couple of paragraphs. Start examples are mentioned above, with a link to examples. Then, after that C - B - A are successively better articles. good articles are articles that have been reviewed and generally updated based upon comments from the reviewer to meet specific criteria. featured articles are the best.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:32, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
