message: 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)

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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  Bias 

message: Everything in it was unarguable fact: the gambling forum was used to suggest a dutch bet which inevitably lost those who followed it money. And many did follow it, to a loss of thousands. 
So, will whoever deleted it please explain why? This is particularly suspicious on a page that frankly reads more like a puff piece than an encyclopedia entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sithom66 (talk • contribs) 13:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Following on from a discussion here I've just reverted an edit that had changed the statistics and added statistics from Compete.com. I really believe the stats should be shown in the way the referenced source states rather than attempting to calculate annual figures. Also MoneySavingExpert.com's popularity cannot be determined from Compete.com's statistics which are calculated by following the browsing habits only of US users - Especially since Moneysavingexpert is a very high profile site in the UK and claim to have 4.6m in May wheras Compete.com think they only get 1.3 in a whole year.

- now changed to opt-out after mass complaints from members & Martin Lewis' also getting attacked for  hypocrisy re making money from the site (allegedly recommending highly paid links more than the non paid ones) and the site being 'ad free'.
