[edit] Polls Performance in the 2005 UK General Election

Possible source of information for citing sources for the various claims (will get to it if I remember): http://www.le.ac.uk/cmcr/research/papers/mc05-1.html - just leaving this here as a reminder. 'Course, someone else could do the job instead if they felt like it. ;-)

[edit] External links

Various "IP Address" users have been modifying the external link to the YouGov website so that it adds credit to their accounts. Is there any way of locking the link? JediLofty 13:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

You can request that the page be semi-protected (which stops IP and new account edits) at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. BlueValour 22:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
But this is unlikely to be done unless it's at a level where it's uncontrolable which it's not. Actually, IMHO, it's a bit silly to even consider it. Just get the diff and sent it to yougov. Let them deal with it however they deal with other potential spam (potential because we don't really know who put the link, it could be someone else trying to get someone in trouble). I presume a warning is given and if it continues, the account is blocked and any money forfeited. If necessary, include an invisible comment warning people that spam will be reported to youtube Nil Einne 18:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "1995 General Election"

"1995 General Election"??? Which election is actually being referred to there? User:MattJPWHUFC (talk) 21:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. BlueValour 22:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved stuff around

I moved the business and market place section to the end here. IMHO, it flows better. Most likely, the majority of people visiting will be more interested in the market research side rather then the business side because, as with many companies, it's what their business is that interests people, not how their business is doing/does. This isn't a financial site after all Nil Einne 18:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
