[edit] Fortune 100 vs Fortune 500

What's the consensus on referencing Fortune 100 vs. Fortune 500 vs. Fortune 1000? Fortune 500 is the official list, but Fortune 100 is very commonly used for the top 100 companies in the Fortune 500. Fortune 1000 has its own entry, as does the 500, but 100 links to the 500 Crimson117 19:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I have no opinion on f100 vs f500. 2*6 11:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of the NYLIC article

I took a look thru some of the old versions of this article, thinking it was too short and too "press-releasish". Older versions contained some company history and, in general, had more information. I see there was a controversy relating to demutualization, but that wasn't the only information which was removed. What's wrong with including a summarized company history from 1845 to present? And it's stance on demutualization is quite unique. First it fought for passage of a New York state bill allowing for mutual holding companies, then it reversed course and chose to remain (and even flaunt) its mutuality. FTR, I'm on the other side of demutualization debate than the now-banned "PolicyOwner", but that doesn't mean I agree the topic should be ignored. It's part of their history. 2*6 11:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I think a company history would add a nice encyclopedic flavor to an otherwise press-releasey article. (Though I like the recent rewording by Delirium) Crimson117 21:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

History restored, mostly from early versions of the article. I took time to reference a couple things, though. 2*6 00:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
