NPOV

Not only is it like an advert, how can it airbrush over all the court cases the company has faced from sexual harrasment to discrimination to a fine from the British Electoral Commission? 88.110.226.130 20:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

whoever is deleting my edit in regards to the merger of thomson-reuters is not respecting the current situation of the financial information industry. currently bloomberg is the dominant company with 33% of international market share whereas thomson and reuters has market share in the teens. (please see article). By deleting my edit, the person is showing false information by saying bloomberg rivals both thomson and reuters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnsmith17 (talkcontribs) 06:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Added redirect + "Bloomberg Limited Partnership" in article lead

Hi there. It may be obvious to those in the US, but it took me a while to work out what LP stood for, so I added this info in the lead. Feel free to move it about if it's too prominent, but please keep a more obvious clue for non-US readers. Thanks. Hopefully acceptable username (talk) 00:30, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

How prominent do people have to be ?

There's other notable people in Bloomberg, should we add them ? I am thinking Peter Carr who heads their analytics division and has written quite a few academic papers, won some awards.Absolovon (talk) 17:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I assume you meant Peter Carr the quant, not the footballer ?

Value?

The 3rd paragraph states:

"In late 1996 Bloomberg bought back one-third of Merrill Lynch's 30 percent stake in his company for $200 million[11] valuing the company at $667 million."

The cite simply states the $200 million so I don't know where the $667 million came from. If I understand the statement correctly, the implied value of the company should be $2 billion. Unmasked (talk) 20:15, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Does he own 88% or 85%?

It says 88% on the Michael Bloomberg page and 85% here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irbananaking (talkcontribs) 00:24, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

It's 88%, already been changed. 069952497a (talk) 22:03, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
