message: REMOVE: Under 'Regulatory Issues', remove line and it's reference: "In October 2014, WFG fined $700,000 by FINRA for failing to supervise registered reps in Dallas.[25]".
REASON: This cited article is about "WFG Investments, Inc." which also does business as "Williams Financial Group" or "Wilson Financial Group", and is NOT World Financial Group. Gorwah (talk) 08:52, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Requesting these changes:
1. Rename the section 'Regulatory issues' to 'Regulatory and legal issues'
2. Add the following text to that section:
In 2014, WFG Securities of Canada Inc. agreed to pay $250,000 to settle a case against it by the Manitoba Securities Commission. 
In 2022, WFG terminated an agent’s membership agreement after he was served two administrative monetary penalties for making false and misleading statements and representations in the solicitation or registration of five life insurance policies, and for providing the FSRA with false and misleading information. 
In April 2023, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) issued a notice of proposal against World Financial Group Insurance Agency of Canada Inc., alleging gaps in WFG’s operation and ongoing proceedings by another regulator against WFG.

replies: text: Not done: all three of these proposed sentences are either directly copied from their respective sources, or are phrases directly copied from the source, then slightly rearranged with one or two interjecting or changed words. Basically, these would be plagiarism and WP:COPYVIO. -- Pinchme123 (talk) 23:02, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Requesting the following change:
- Remove recent edit expanding on a 2008 article: "It has been criticized by customers who claim to have lost significant sums due to WFG agents selling them "inappropriate investments".  
There are already references to the regulatory and legal actions, most of which are minor and outdated, the referenced article is from 2008 and most of the issues raised were previous to the current business ownership and management. The Wiki update is written to appear as if current and is clearly biased. 2A0D:6FC2:40C0:E800:60B3:52B5:C8FB:E6BF (talk) 15:57, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

text: The information is an important part of the company's history so cannot be removed. I have however moved it to the history section and changed it to past tense to refer to the 2008 article as there's currently no references claiming the issue is still ongoing.
