thread_title:  overseas banking organisation 

message: I've removed this reference as publications, not organisations, are awarded the Crystal Mark.  Abbey National has some 25+ publications with a Crystal Mark, but this is not in itself noteworthy since banks tend to produce more publications than organisations in many other sectors (due to rate changes etc). - Stevecov 00:11, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed: Crystal Mark / Plain English 

message: As correct as the argument behind it might be, this section looks like nothing but a tirade of attacks upon the bank's procedures, and needs serious reworking to present the case in a more neutral fashion. 19:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are free to edit it to make it comply with the NPOV (neutal point of view) policy.  Since you dispute it, I'll tag it accordingly.  But you really need to improve the text or the tag will come off again.  --Concrete Cowboy 00:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I've made some changes (86.142.10.244), removed uncited hearsay, tagged anything which might have a grounding in fact, but I'm still not entirely satisfied with the result.  If cites can be provided for those bits, then I'd have no objections to removing .  It should be noted that the Bank Action Group mentioned previously probably doesn't meet Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source - if someone tries linking to that message board as a citation, this would probably be self-evident.  86.142.10.244 15:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I meant that someone had already tagged it NPOV-section.  Your edits are fine. --Concrete Cowboy 23:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Bank Charges" section 

message: I deleted a link to a customer's complaint page added by an anon user. Wiki policy is not to link to our cite blogs and individual opinion/grievance sites.  If you want to get the material included, you have to find an article in the mainstream press and cite that instead. This policy everywhere in Wikipedia.  --Concrete Cowboy 13:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  One customer's opinion of the bank (any bank) 

message: current lede of article "Abbey, formerly Abbey National,"
however, the institution's own website at http://www.abbey.com/csgs/Satellite?pagename=Abbey/GSDistribuidora/GS_Home maintains "Abbey National plc. Registered Office: Abbey National House, 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London, NW1 3AN, United Kingdom. Registered Number 2294747. Registered in England." at bottom of that webpage.
i suspect that "Abbey National plc" remains institution appellation and "Abbey" is marketing name...two different animals.--68.173.2.68 (talk) 20:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The History section of the Abbey National article contains a mere half dozen lines on the period before the 1944 merger, and nothing about the National’s early history as one of the leading Freehold Land Societies. There are three published histories of the Abbey Road and one of the National which are not mentioned at all on the article and I propose to use these to enlarge the History section. There is also a separate book on the demutualization of the Abbey National and that has not been sourced.Bebington (talk) 09:32, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
