Needs Massive Edit
editThis is one of the worst articles I've ever seen on Wikipedia. Extremely poor grammar, random capitalization, and an extraordinarily biased viewpoint. This article was clearly written by a relative of Sam Wyly.
Update from Acb2019: after major edits on July 18th, 2019, this page still requires deeper research to remove the bias inherent in this page. I did basic edits to at least make it readable. —Preceding undated comment added 17:04, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- Two years later and the article is still ridiculously hagiographic. Ashmoo (talk) 13:14, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Bankruptcy
editWyly filed bankruptcy in October 2014: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-07/bankrupt-sam-wyly-sued-by-ex-wife-over-500-000-a-year-support.html. This is relevant to an article about a purportedly successful businessman. (Mr. Trump's bankruptcies are noted in his article.)
The link to the "official" web site of the brothers is now in Portuguese and appears to have no connection with them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:3BCD:D200:2D67:427E:F60F:BA38 (talk) 04:46, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Did this page get vandalized?
editOn 31 May 2018 and 4 June 2018 user RNPRContent made 15 edits to the page, they had never edited before and have never edited since. As far as I can tell there are issues with all of those edits (some are unsourced anecdotes from the subjects life, others minimize any and all negative language in the article, some delete whole unfavorable paragraphs without explanation). Their first edit was flagged by ClueBot NG which (should have been a red flag) which has a very low false positive rate (I don’t believe this to be a false positive). The page’s neutral point of view appears to have been compromised. I’m relatively new to Wikipedia, whats to be done when an article has been vandalized this extensively? It seems like undoing all 15 edits would leave the page even more of a mess given the edits that have been made since. I really don’t have the time to pour over this piece by piece and restore it to a neutral position, but it seems a shame to let whatever happened here stand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horse Eye Jack (talk • contribs) 11:17, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
