I reckon it's not a good article without the birthdate. Punkmorten (talk) 17:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
GA fail
[edit]the article doesn't meet GA requirements to a bit extent. there are no images. lead needs to be expanded. youth and personal life section needs to be either clubbed or expanded. otherwise i think the article has potential to be a GA. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 09:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Cleansing
[edit]This article really seems to have been cleansed by a pro to use words that the common man does not understand and avoid terms like subprime loans. I am considering a partial revert.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:42, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit]This section is well sourced, but in reading it it has the effect of attributing all EMG activity to Vranos. EG, para 2, 3 and most of 4 are more about the firm than the man. Given the sheer breadth of material, can we consider a WP:SPINOFF? BelBivDov (talk) 02:00, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- TonyTheTiger, as a major contributor, can you provide input? BelBivDov (talk) 01:21, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- BelBivDov, If this is something that you feel comfortable doing, have at it.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 10:29, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- TonyTheTiger, drafted here. I've captured everything from the EMG section and added some new refs, but if you have time, take a look and let me know if there's other info from this entry I should roll in? BelBivDov (talk) 02:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- BelBivDov, Based on my cursory review, it looks good.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:19, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
