[edit] Possible Improvements Needed

  • Might be good to change the 'Campaigns' section to 'Campaigns and charity' - about the site giving to charity every year - and an estimated £100,000 to charity this year Aldaden 18:25, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
  • A better way to express the site's popularity without pointing to a specific alexa rating
  • "Both these campaigns have been the subject of Parliamentary early day motions" - While the first one specifically mentions the site, the second one doesn't.
  • Carol Vorderman, ...threatened legal action to try to stop it" - Citation Needed
  • "The MSE Charity Fund" - I assume it will be called "The Moneysavingexpert.com Charity Fund" or something else but can't find this written anywhere.
  • More about the forums? (Threads:223,666, Posts:2,677,424, Members:109,037 right now)
  • The secured loans campaign was covered extensively in the newspapers - perhaps links to them?(e.g. here and here )
  • Some of the site's tools have also been mentioned (here and here )

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moneysavingexpert.com (2nd nomination)

The result of this AfD discussion was keep. (aeropagitica) 13:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MoneySavingExpert.com

Looking at the way it's written on the site, should this actually be on the wikipedia page for MoneySavingExpert.com? (Capital M,S and E) or is it fine here and a redirect would do? If it is appropriate to move it, Would it cause problems to the Deletion Review links? Aldaden 15:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

  • I've just made that move; it seems to all work okay. Aark 17:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

" * The Guardian newspaper wrote that the site has "a fearsome reputation for deconstructing the deals on offer from the banks and building societies to find out whether they are really good value"[13] "

Martin Lewis works for the guardian. Is it the right idea to comment on what his employers are saying about his website? He has a vested interest in this company, they are his main employers I believe. Theguide2 12:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

The actual quote in the paper said "Which is why we're glad to take on Martin Lewis as our new columnist. He and his team at moneysavingexpert.com have built a fearsome reputation for deconstructing the deals on offer from the banks and building societies to find out whether they are really good value. His new weekly column appears on the back page." If The Guardian were praising the site because Lewis was an employee, it might be bias, but it looks to me that it was the other way round - that they picked him because of MoneySavingExpert.com's reputation Aldaden 14:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
