Mounting news links
There is a constant stream of news regarding the collapse of Farepak, more coming in all the time. I was just wondering how the whole thing should be organised and formatted? I don't want to miss anything out but I don't want it to spiral out of control. abdullahazzam 17:15, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I am currently collecting links on User:Agathoclea/Sandbox maybe we could coordinate? Agathoclea 19:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Your sandbox idea sounds like a good one. I like the way you have split the links into subsections. All you really need to add is one for the Swindon Advertiser, which posts news on Farepak daily. I'd also quite like to retain the links to the victim support funds, preferably somewhere prominent. abdullahazzam 20:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * We might have to look into the subject of the victim support fund, and see if it is notable in its own right. Anyway top of my list is an article on Sir Clive. Agathoclea 21:30, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I have re-organised the links and hopefully they will now be much easier to reference. I will try to look up something on Sir Clive. abdullahazzam 19:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Farepak saving - needs an explanation?
Was just wondering if someone (who knows more than I) should write a line or two explaining how it is Farepak customers used the scheme; is it an investment of some kind or were they literally expecting to get back what they put in? (a sort of 12 month piggy bank) This is the sort of information someone wanting to form an opinion of the whole debacle might well want.Graldensblud 11:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
