His exact birthday would certainly be on some government record or financial document, right? He's been notable for over 30 years but the closest I've been able to find are gov.uk records that just list December 1964. ~ Dissident93 ( talk) 13:41, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Dissident93, thank you for your help with my requested additions and for continuing to work on updating and improving this page.
In the Finance and private equity section, please tweak the following sentence to reflect the language of the Business Insider article: "In May 2021, Harris announced he was stepping down from his day-to-day responsibilities at Apollo after being passed over as CEO for Marc Rowan, with his large personal focus on sports investments also becoming an alleged source of tension within the company, according to Business Insider.
Please add to the second paragraph of the Sports and entertainment section that in 2020, Harris organized $7 million in donations for COVID-19 relief [1] and that HBSE pledged $20 million to fighting racial injustice [2].
In the last paragraph of the Sports and entertainment section, please add the following language following Harris facing criticism for attempting to cut salaries during the pandemic, based on the CNBC source in the article:
Finally, in the Philanthropy and community endeavors section, please add that in March 2020, Harris donated 10,000 laptops for Philadelphia students, to help with their distance learning during the pandemic. [3] [4].
Thank you very much! Calesci2 ( talk) 19:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC) Calesci2 ( talk) 19:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Okay, these comments may seem a bit lowsy, but I really have read the article fully. The prose is just so smooth. On another note, I'm gonna be lenient towards the NBA, NFL, and NHL acronyms in the lead; they'd be a pain to spell out.
Penn's— this feels a tad too informal, perhaps "the university's"
Drexel had filed for bankruptcy earlier that year... — this one's a bit of a run on sentence.
He was among several businessmen in 2017 that met with the Trump administration— this is a bit of a jump from 2009 in the previous sentence. I would move it to the beginning of the next paragraph.
Harris was included on Sports Business Journal's "Most Influential: Dealmakers & Disrupters" list in 2022.— because of how small the publication is, I don't see the relevance. Has he been put on other similar lists?
Earwig shows a low score of 22%, a lot of which are long names or ideas that are hard to rephrase. The CiteHighlighter script has most sources green. The Forbes articles in yellow are written by staff members. The three refs in orange, two being press releases, are fine as primary sources. Most of the refs that aren't highlighted at all either pass reliability, are fine as primary sources, and/or are attributed in-text. However, I have some quibbles:
Randomly generated these citations:
A wide variety of sources across a long timeframe are used proportionally. Looks good.
Looks good on this front. I haven't found much explicitly negative reporting. Only two comments:
with diversity, equity, and inclusion, and employee empowerment being promoted within his workplace culture.— the "employee empowerment" bit is teetering on WP:EXCEPTIONAL. Please find some other sources that support it. As well, the "diversity, equity, and inclusion" bit should be attributed to him.
Due to public criticism, he would reverse a decision to reduce the salaries of HBSE, 76ers, and Devils employees making under $100,000 by 20% during the hiatus.— I feel like this is phrased too positively? Of course, Harris wouldn't be the only one behind the initial decision, but looking at the news coverage, he seems to have gotten a lot of criticism. Perhaps: "In/on [insert date], HBSE announced [insert what happened]. After receiving public criticism, Harris [blah blah blah]."
No recent edit wars or content disputes.
Images are all creative commons or own works. They all give a better understanding of the topic; I like how the 76ers and Devils pictures correspond with their paragraphs.
Great (and very diligent) work on this article! I believe it's close to the finish line. Averageuntitleduser ( talk) 23:51, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
