Update required

A lot has happened with Wonga over the last few months. New staff, rates etc. The article needs an update. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:12, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Usury again

It seems to have snuck back in since the discussion above in 2012. Is that really intentional? Pinkbeast (talk) 19:02, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

There has been a lot of water under the bridge since 2012 on Wonga relating to their enormous interest rates and dubious business methods. Our article states that Usury is "the practice of making unethical or immoral monetary loans that unfairly enrich the lender. A loan may be considered usurious because of excessive or abusive interest rates or other factors." If the cap fits... Philafrenzy (talk) 19:46, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
I presume you were referring to the inclusion in the see also section? I've removed it per WP:NOTSEEALSO as usury is already discussed in the article and so it is unnecessary to include it in the SA section as well. SmartSE (talk) 21:26, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
I was referring to that inclusion. Thank you for removing it; I will also do so myself if it sneaks back in again, since it seems it's not that the consensus has changed. Pinkbeast (talk) 19:26, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
It wasn't linked from the body of the article. It is now. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:39, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
