Talk:Nationwide Building Society

message: I am unsure of the dates for this but I first became a member of a building society in the 1950s. The society was the Hastings
Building Society. At a later date it merged with (I think) the Preston Building Society (Lancashire) and at an even later date the merged society merged again with the Anglia BS. If anyone knows of those dates it will help to add a little more info to this article Peter Shearan 05:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: From memory, there's a large 'family tree' at the old Anglian Head Office in Northampton that shows all the mergers through time and when they were. Matthew 07:03, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Is Nationwide's ISP offering from the late 1990s worth a mention, does anyone think?  And does anyone know much about it?  Someone somewhere must have one of the installation discs still kicking around! :-) Matthew 11:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've got the installation disks in the loft, came on two 3" disks. It was pretty rubbish or accessing it over a 28K modem was rubbish, one or the other! QuiteUnusual (talk) 21:45, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Probably not. Branded ISPs were ten a penny in the late 1990s, before broadband superseded their business model, and not very significant to the brands they used. Thelem (talk) 01:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: True.  However, I have a recollection, perhaps false, that Nationwide was very early in becoming a branded ISP. Matthew (talk) 11:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that Nationwide Building Society IP added it's own URL to promote it's 'Sponsored By You' campaign: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=145649109.

Surely, this violates Wikipedia policy?

thread_title:  Promoting itself 

message: I agree with the editor above who suggested that the language red like the company's own words; i have cut out all except the most basic description of each person:  Their job title.  Checking other companies, such as RBOS, Alliance and Leicester, Tesco, and even Wal-Mart, that is the most that the equvalent, non-controversial people get.

thread_title:  Key People 

message: The link to the Isle of Man subsidiary is a redirect back to this article, and should be removed.  An unregistered user has been adding it back in, but I don't think it is helpful to readers.  Comments?  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:16, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep. I think it's probably fair to make a good-faith assumption that the user doesn't know either A) that that link is a self-redirect, or B) that we don't tend to link to self-redirects. And with that assumption, I think we can just revert the edits as good-faith-but-wrong. Dreaded Walrus  t c 14:41, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nationwide International 

message: Apparently Nationwide has just joined Co-operatives UK, so I've added it to the opening section. I can only find one mention of it via Google, but it is the Co-operatives UK website, so is probably correct. No mention of it on the Nationwide website, though.

thread_title:  Co-operatives UK 

message: The current page for Nationwide Building Society requires some updating; for example, some of the financial results data on the page is currently from 2008 and 2009. I would therefore like to make some updates and other changes for the benefit of readers.
The reason why I mention this is because I am an employee of Nationwide Building Society and therefore there is a potential conflict of interest. However, I will ensure my changes are as balanced and factual as possible and I will make references to publically available sources for the changes I make.
Please do contact me on my Talk Page if you have any questions.
Thanks
