Talk:Legatum

message: What firms does Legatum compete with, or share similar characteristics with?  The article seems pretty bare-bones without some frame of reference or comparison.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.43.64 (talk) 04:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The main difference is that those articles cite reliable sources rather than making unsourced claims which make heavy use of weasel words.  I'd recommend reading the wikipedia policies on reliable sources and weasel words, and possibly also WP:NPOV before you make any more edits.  Cazort (talk) 15:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

text: The problems do still exist clearly in the article, see all the advertising like for example "researches and promotes the principles that drive the creation of global prosperity and the expansion of human liberty". Many of these valuations come obviously from themselves or non-reliable sources (like a gulf news life-style article). Also the few reliable sources seem to be there just for the show, not to make a really comprehensive article about the org (like for example the as ref used guardian article that is a simple name list of think tanks and has no real infos about the organisation).  --78.54.230.82 (talk) 08:08, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: At this edit I have removed a lot of material that was uncited, duplicate, or relevant to other parts of the Legatum brand but not to this article. It seems that the various conflict-of-interest accounts have not been very careful to distinguish between Legatum itself, the subject of this article, and the Institutes, Foundations etc that use its name. There is more work that needs to be done on this article, but I will leave it here for a while. Sylvia de Jonge (talk) 14:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Sylvia, good edits and they make sense. There is definitely some confusion on the content between various pages. I've bulked out the introduction section slightly and I think that will be it for now! Kahlesh366 (talk) 17:56, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
