New article: editorial notes

Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've created this article on The Social Hub. Below is a summary of the sourcing approach, editorial decisions, and remaining considerations for other editors.

Sourcing profile

The article uses 35 inline citations. Independent reliable sources include:

National/international press: The New York Times, The Times, Financial Times, Forbes, The Scotsman

Industry/trade press: CoStar, Property EU, IPE Real Assets, Europe Real Estate, Business Leader, Green Street News, Boutique Hotel News, Business Traveller, Sustainable Hotel News, HOTELS Magazine, Hotel Designs, Serviced Apartment News

Local press: The Florentine

Company sources: The Social Hub Newsroom, company website, former thestudenthotel.com pages

Key claims are independently corroborated by at least two sources:

€2.1B valuation: company newsroom + The Scotsman

B Corp certification: Forbes + Boutique Hotel News

€566M refinancing and Italian financing: CoStar

Glasgow £90M investment and room count: Business Leader + The Scotsman

Rome opening and customs house conversion: CoStar + The New York Times

Italian parks €260M investment: Green Street News

Florence Belfiore €150M opening: The Florentine + Hotel Designs

Porto €60M opening and Portuguese market entry: Serviced Apartment News + Hotel Designs

First property in Rotterdam: HOTELS Magazine

MacGregor biographical details: The Scotsman

Editorial decisions

Neutrality: The article avoids evaluative framing, cherry-picked praise from reviews, and promotional language. All claims are confined to verifiable facts; sources are cited to support specific facts, not to lend favourable colour.

Tone: Strategy language, evaluative adjectives, and forward-looking statements have been avoided throughout.

"Stated activities" wording: The TSH Talent Foundation section uses "stated activities" to signal that the claim relies on the company's own description. Independent verification of the Foundation's outputs would strengthen this section.

Forbes contributor column: The Forbes source is a contributor column, which Wikipedia sometimes treats as less authoritative than staff-written journalism. The Boutique Hotel News confirmation helps mitigate this.

Homepage URL: The Financial Times reference links to the publication's homepage rather than a direct article URL, as the article sits behind a paywall. Editors may wish to add an archived URL via the Wayback Machine if available.

Feedback welcome

Happy to discuss any of the above. Jbobbink (talk) 10:24, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
