This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

James Cook (February 9, 2020). "Top banking apps Starling Bank and Curve accused of editing their Wikipedia pages to delete criticism". The Daily Telegraph. Retrieved February 9, 2020. Starling Bank, which has signed up more than 1m customers, has also been accused by Wikipedia users of editing its own entry along with the page for Anne Boden, its chief executive.

Unfit for purpose[edit]

User:ColinFC, a SPA, added content stating that something about the bank's signup process was 'unfit for purpose'. Unfortunately he didn't say what purpose it was unfit for. The new content was cited to a complaints forum thread that was started by a user called 'Colin'.

User:Daylen reverted the new content. ColinFC reverted Daylen's revert.

You can't cite to a forum thread.

You can't (generally) cite to material that you have authored.

If the source doesn't say anything about unfitness for purpose, then inserting that claim is WP:OR.

I have reverted to the content as it was before ColinFC rocked up. Please discuss here before reinstating. MrDemeanour (talk) 08:25, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2020[edit]

Thank you to User:Gråbergs_Gråa_Sång for adding the press coverage above. I would like to forewarn users that the allegations of paid editing to the article Anne Boden cited in the Telegraph were made by User:GDX420, who later received a multi day suspension from Wikipedia for making unsubstantiated allegations and abusing the Wikipedia deletion process.
