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)
There is also no information about where the funds invested come from (one family, rich people all over the world, or anything else), whether Legatum advertises for investors, or much else about how they work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.151.42.64 ( talk) 19:49, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
This whole article is a blantant case of WP:COI. The creator and maintainer of this page is a user named Legatumltd. -- Piccolo Modificatore Laborioso ( talk) 08:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
We note the points above, and acknowledge our association with the subject. That said, we are unclear how this article falls short of Wiki standards: Legatum is involved in a wide range of public activities, which have been catalogued and referenced by independent third-parties; so far as possible, we have attenpted to avoid any langauge that is not verifiable factually or self-promoting (we would certainly welcome guidance on which words or phrases are deeemed to be unsuitable). In short, we find little difference between this article and those of, for example, Blackstone or Berkshire Hathaway. Legatumltd ( talk) 07:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi all, I made some minor formatting changes to this page a couple of days ago and noticed a couple of elements that might need changing. The first relates to some of the language on the page, particularly in relation to advertorial language and the sources used. I can identify some of these if that’s helpful and make the necessary edits. This has already been highlighted above.
The second is that the introductory paragraphs don’t seem to follow the form of other private business pages, leading in with more general information. I notice the “disaster capitalism” term particularly has been subject to a bit of an edit war – it seems to be taken from an Op-Ed by Simon Nixon not a piece of Times reporting, so probably falls within the scope of use of op-eds and sources so is probably better removed or moved to somewhere where it can be made clear this is from an op-ed and the opinion relates to Simon Nixon (it’ll look a bit odd with an opinion being in the introduction - other business pages are a good comparator). For an introductory section the sources could focus more on the general performance of the business and it’s nature – I’m sure there’s available sources for this.
I’ll wait for comment from the community. Thanks! Kahlesh366 ( talk) 15:01, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
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)
