Boris Berezovsky (businessman) received a peer review by Misplaced Pages editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

I added info to the stub, but all of it is from memory of news articles I've read over the years. It needs fact and date checking. Names of the companies and other industries that Berezovsky invested in would be helpful.

I changed "the most notorious of Russian oligarchs" to "most famous". I don't think there'll be any complaints about that perfect example of bias being removed.

Oligarchy?

What of this "oligarchy?" Who is in it besides Berezovsky and Alexander Litvinenko? When were they exiled? - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 18:32, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

NPOV & sources

The tone of this article appears to contravene Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy, & I have added templates to that effect. There are whole sentences like "Berezovsky's image among Russians is generally poor; many consider him the most unlawful and unethical of the oligarchs and blame him especially for the country's economic collapse", which require references and neutral rephrasing. There are many further minor examples.

I have made a few small changes to the article to move it towards NPOV but lots more needs to be done. I don't want to edit out all the information here, because I believe some of it might be useful with a proper encyclopedic style edit and some decent citations behind it. -- TinaSparkle 23:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

From my own anecdotal evidence, that paragraph which you quoted is quite true. I'm not sure how it is POV to mention the general opinion among Russian citizens about him. I do agree that some acceptable source needs to be found for it, though. Esn 03:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I edited out the unsourced POV material, if any sourcing can be found it should be restored -- J.L. 07:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
