I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is this company really a hedge fund? A hedge fund has pretty specific parameters as to who can invest in it and to my knowledge that does not include investment banks, pension funds and other large financial entities. Normally it is high net worth individuals... Stevenmitchell (talk) 05:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

They have a few hedge funds under their umbrella, as well as other assets under management. So calling them solely a hedge fund would be incorrect. The existing description on the main page matches well with what I was told by recruiters and during a phone interview. Sorry for not having a written source, they're very secretive. 171.159.192.10 (talk) 17:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
People always refer to Bridgewater colloquially as a hedge fund though--employees of the firm included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.44.115.66 (talk) 09:21, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
This edit has been undone by Bridgewater Associates, Inc., located in Westport, CT as we are unaware of any SEC investigation involving our company. It is possible that the investigation referred to relates to a different company with a similar name.

In light of the Ad tag I am making bold changes to restructure an edit the article for NPOV and to remove peacock fluff.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 17:21, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Reviewing |

Hi Astrocog, thanks for a very comprehensive review and delineation of areas needing improvement. I know from experience that this can be time consuming for the reviewer. Here’s what I’ve done:
I like photos in articles as it makes them “look” more pleasing. While I agree that the wide photo doesn’t show the headquarters clearly it does illustrate the natural setting which is notable since most hedge funds are on Wall Street. However, if you think it should be removed, let me know and I’ll do it. Also let me know if there is more “corporate speak” that needs to be removed or changed. It is hard for me to step back and read text that I have written myself and have re-read dozens of times. Thanks.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 20:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Good improvements overall - certainly enough for GA status. While I disagree about the panoramic photo, I'm not passionate enough about it to fail the nomination because of it. Just keep in mind that if you ever work this up to a FA nomination, the reviewers will ding you on that and ask what exactly it is illustrating that makes it necessary. I think you've done a good job working this article into nice shape. Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 15:23, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Given the management similarities to Madoff and MF Global (i.e. cultish secretive leader), it would seem anyone wishing to learn about Bridgewater Associates would first want to know what regulatory framework they operate under, yet there is zero mention of this topic in the article, so it is quite deficient imho. No doubt this simple and noncontroversial suggestion for article improvement will be quickly deleted by the TM patrol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.61.138.0 (talk) 18:32, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
I have been alerted to many 'failed verification' tags on this article's information. As the original GA reviewer, I'm very troubled by this and upon looking into some of the tags, I see many have merit. I'm going to give the main contributors 7 days to fix this problem, after which I'll check in again. If the tags have not been addressed, I'll do a reassessment, which could result in loss of GA status on the article. Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 13:37, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Done-- — Keithbob • Talk • 00:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Recently a new editor has added a new section to the article called Commitment Firm I think it creates some issues including original research and undue weight and may need to be cut back or eliminated. Any thoughts from others.?-- — Keithbob • Talk • 19:11, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
