References & promotional tone
[edit]There are "Verified+Carbon+Standard"&oq=&gs_l= lots of mentions in the media, but these don't constitute notability by themselves. Are there any news articles or other notable sources which are primarily about VCS?
It seems like this is an important topic which probably satisfies WP:Notability, but it needs better references. I've added links to an FAO and a UK govt document for the interim - not sure if they meet the criteria, but at least they're not self-promotion.
It still has a promotional tone, but I removed the section which seemed least justified/supported, about the CEO. --Chriswaterguy talk 00:57, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
- Cleaned this up a little bit with sources, also reflecting renaming of organization to Verra. Cheerful word nerd (talk) 20:13, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Divergence of standard and organization names
[edit]The standard is now still VCS, while the organization is named Verra. I worked on this some, but could probably be made even clearer. I think VCS the standard is still more notable than the Verra organization -- not sure if necessitates a separate entry for Verra yet. Cheerful word nerd (talk) 20:49, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- I did do some minor edits to attempt the separation from the 'standard' and Verra the organization. Netforcarbon (talk) 02:52, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. You'll need to find secondary sources discussing this. This is essentially a blog piece published by a company. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:46, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
