This article is very poorly sourced. For example, in order to present views opposing Bass', the article says "In May 2012, Business Insider agreed, faulting Bass's analysis, since debt-to-GDP ratios do not reflect the interest rate or credit risk of a nation" An online publication is not a credible source. The articel should cite fund managers, investment bankers, or other people who have names. Moreover, the idea that debt ratios do not reflect credit risk is laughable. It's true that a country can print money to fund debts, but this means the currency devalues, wiping out the value of the debts. They can't go to zero, but they can go very close. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.178.129 (talk) 15:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Bass

This page has several questionable statements and sources that merit a second look based on their lack of verifiability and lack of NPOV which are both not in keeping with BLP standards.

For example, there is a statement about questionable ethics attributed to a Barron’s article that doesn’t corroborate that statement and the article is behind a paywall making verifying that error for non-subscribers exceeding difficult. The Japan section contains subjective analysis from a low-quality source (blog) which is not in keeping with BLP standards. There is also unattributed criticism of challenging drug patents that is not in line with BLP standards. A statement about CFAD and Celgene cites a WSJ article but the article does not contain information that supports the claim. Additionally, the biography states that Kyle Bass was tipped off to the sub-prime crisis and cites a CNBC interview from 2009 which is not verifiable nor accurate. The post ends with speculative reports about the performance of Hayman Capital that are also not accurate, verifiable or necessarily relevant to a BLP page.

This account is managed by Steele at Hayman Capital Management, L.P., which was founded by J. Kyle Bass in 2005. My goal is to serve as a resource in support of Wikipedia’s three core content policies. I will not be making edits, but rather participating in the community discussions. SteeleatHaymanCapitalManagementLP (talk) 16:29, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SteeleatHaymanCapitalManagementLP: Thank you for taking your concerns to the talk page rather than edit the page yourself. It is good to see you are following Wikipedia policy due to your WP:COI. As I stated on my talk page, I am happy to help out and resolve these issues in any way I can. I noticed you posted on multiple talk pages and at BLPN, most of which covered different areas of the article you refute or challenge. Can you provide a bulleted list of the statements in the current version of Bass' page that you would like to be corrected and why they should be corrected? This will allow me, along with other users, to provide feedback and discuss whether the content should be changed, neutralized, or otherwise removed. Thanks! Also, I'm working on improving a couple other pages and involved in a few other discussions at the moment so if I don't respond quickly, that is why. Look forward to working together on this.

@Meatsgains: Thank you for the reply and I look forward to working with you and the community. On your Talk page, I have provided a list of statements that are in need of correction in addition to the reasons for the corrections (predominantly issues with sources). Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you again. SteeleatHaymanCapitalManagementLP (talk) 17:27, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to Kyle Bass' Bio

I am ~Steele and an affiliate of Hayman Capital Management, LP. My goal is to serve as a resource in support of Wikipedia’s three core content policies. I will not be making edits, but rather participating in the community discussions.

Two things:

1. I would like to bring the following updates to Kyle Bass’ biography to your attention:

• Mr. Bass was the recipient of the 2019 Foreign Policy Association Medal for his responsible internationalism: https://www.fpa.org/events/index.cfm?act=show_event&event_id=795 About the award: https://www.fpa.org/about/?act=history

• A founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China: https://presentdangerchina.org/members-2/

• Member of the Council on Foreign Relations: https://www.cfr.org/membership/roster

• In 2015, Bass was recognized as one of the Top 25 Most Influential People in the Global Patent Market as named by Intellectual Asset Management magazine: https://www.iam-media.com/finance/40-individuals-who-drive-global-patent-market-named-latest-issue-iam

2. I would also request that an editor review the organization of Kyle Bass’ article.

• There is a lack of cohesiveness on this page, conflicting statements, jumping around and duplication of the same topics in multiple sections. • In order to determine if the neutral viewpoint required for biographies of living people on Wiki is achieved, each topic needs to be aggregated into one section. • The below tiles and subtitles align with other hedge managers: o Early Life o Investing Career -Fund Performance- aggregate all performance references here -Subprime mortgages- aggregate all subprime references here -Europe and Japanese- aggregate all Europe/Greek/Japan references here -China- aggregate all China, Chinese banking collapse + short yuan references here -US Equites- move REIT references here -Drug patent challenge campaign- aggregate all drug patent challenge references here o Politics and Economic Views -Trump Administration -Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner -China o Philanthropy

I appreciate your consideration and open to discuss.

I dont think wikipedia is right here

Crimea was no major war, that is a nonsensical claim and his claim was not spot on 2001:448A:1082:1D87:90E9:7ACA:4ADB:16A5 (talk) 11:25, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I assume this is referring to an uncited comment about his prediction being "eerily spot on", which I have just removed. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
