Talk:Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

GA failed
This is a quick fail due to the sources criteria. I have not given it a full review. To get passed the "quick-fail" criteria the References section needs to be improved. As it stands now it appears there is only one true reference to sources (#1) while the others seem to be more of a footnote explanation. Please see WP:CITE and Verifiability for what references in a good article would look like. The references in the article seem to be from the company, which simply do not count for reliability. On a side note, it would be good to get a picture of a branch to improve the astetics of the article. Great start, just needs some more work to get to GA. Aboutmovies 21:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Location
Why is it necessary to have the full postal address for the HQ location? The City/Country seems to be the general norm on most company infoboxes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.228.253 (talk) 13:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Only since you've gone around and changed them all. Please see the example given at List of infoboxes/Society. 163.167.129.124 15:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

LINK Image
With respect, as I reverted and requested discussion on the talk page first, it was somewhat rude of you to re-revert and make the same request. Regardless, straight from WP:NONFREE:

Policy
For purposes of this policy "non-free content" means all copyrighted images and other media files that lack a free content license. Such material may be used on the English Wikipedia only where all 10 of the following criteria are met.


 * 1) No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. Where possible, non-free content is transformed into free material instead of using a fair-use defense, or replaced with a freer alternative if one of acceptable quality is available; "acceptable quality" means a quality sufficient to serve the encyclopedic purpose. (As a quick test, ask yourself: "Can this image be replaced by a different one that has the same effect, or adequately conveyed by text without using a picture at all?" If the answer is yes, the image probably does not meet this criterion.)
 * 2) Respect for commercial opportunities. Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media.
 * 3) (a) Minimal usage. As few non-free content uses as possible are included in each article and in Wikipedia as a whole. Multiple items are not used if one will suffice; one is used only if necessary. (b) Minimal extent of use. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/sample length is used (especially where the original could be used for piracy).  This rule also applies to the copy in the Image: namespace. If your image is greater than 500&mdash;600px add  to the Image: namespace and someone from Wikipedia will shrink the image to comply with this guideline.
 * 4) Previous publication. Non-free content must have been published outside Wikipedia.
 * 5) Content. Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
 * 6) Media-specific policy. The material meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. For example, images must meet Image use policy.
 * 7) One-article minimum. Non-free content is used in at least one article.
 * 8) Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
 * 9)  Restrictions on location. Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace, subject to exemptions. (To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add __NOGALLERY__ to it; images are linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are a topic of discussion.)
 * 10)  Image description page. The image or media description page contains the following:
 * 11) * (a) Attribution of the source of the material and, if different from the source, of the copyright holder. See: Citing sources.
 * 12) * (b) A copyright tag that indicates which Wikipedia policy provision is claimed to permit the use. For a list of image copyright tags, see Image copyright tags/Non-free content.
 * 13) * (c) The name of each article (a link to the articles is recommended as well) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language, and is relevant to each use.

As you can see, I've crossed out 3a and 8 - this image in this article most certainly does not count as minimal usage, nor is it significant to this article. Therefore it cannot be used under the fair-use policy here, and must be removed. Before replacing, please explain how exactly you feel that it does meet the criteria for fair-use.

 * For future reference, this dispute was resolved on the talk page of Ryan Postlethwaite, under the heading 3RR Problem. The Islander 20:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
