message: Isn't Indra Nooyi Indian??
I agree with who ever asked, "Isn't Indra Nooyi indian?".
Technically, next to her name should be written India. She recieved her education from India and considers herself an indian. She is only currently based in the United States.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keaneart (talk • contribs) 08:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I dont understand why there is an Italian flag along with Indian tricolor against Sonia Gandhi's name. She is an Indian citizen and should be regarded as such. Same way, Indra Nooyi is an american citizen and should be considered that way.--Praveenkoramkottil (talk) 06:23, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

text: What, no Nancy Pelosi on the 2007 list? I'm astonished. I would have been pleased if Katharine Jefferts-Schori were on the list too, but I'm not astonished she isn't. —Angr 20:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: There appears to be a confusion as to whether this list falls under fair use. The consensus on other Forbes lists talk pages seems to be that having a part of the list (usually the top 10) falls under fair use, while publishing the entire list does not. Therefore, I suggest that someone edit down each of the respective years lists to only the top 10 to make sure that this falls under fair use.Fireflyfanboy (talk) 21:26, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright issue- January 2016

message: If anybody knowledgeable about the feminist movement(s) and well-educated about things like patriarchy, rape culture, the oppression and victimization of women and other violations of women's rights, which are HUMAN rights, could put together a section for this article explaining how there can be any such things as a powerful woman period, much less one or women powerful enough to influence the world and justify a major effort to select and publish a list of the MOST POWERFUL WOMEN WORLDWIDE, I think that would do a lot to legitimize this article, the subject of it and the feminist movement in general. In fact, I think that the absence OF such an explanation makes the article completely illegitimate. It's subject matter is certainly of questionable importance, since its certainly not through a consensus of women and men world wide chosen at random or representative of the general population polled and surveyed scientifically that the lists are created. And any polls or surveys of any group of men and women, when a group would have to include both men and women since the "power" the women on the list have would affect EVERYBODY, where the number of women and men is equal and their opinions are equally weighted and count equally, would result in an ELECTION rather than a "consensus". And if someone has to be "elected" to a list to be on a list of "powerful" people, are they really that powerful? Plenty of issues here need to be discussed or else the whole article looks like a political exercise as much as the lists it it contains.10:47, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Forbes magazine has reported the country/ territory of Mrs Ursula  von der Leyen, as Belgium. But she is currently a German politician. Could someone confirm her nationality?(Angunnu (talk) 11:47, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ursula  von der Leyen, 

message: I'm hesitant to undo the EU-flag that someone just added to that of GER for von der Leyen (though 2023 only), since: 
# What exactly all the flags are indicating or ought to represent?
#* Origin or current citizenship? → Germany
#* The "location" that is actually listed by Forbes? → Belgium
#* Sphere of its power? → EU
# Hence, should it always be a single flag?
