"Nic Hughes" case

[edit]

There has been a recent edit war - with clear conflicts of interest by all parties concerned - on the subject of Nic Hughes and the approach taken by Friends Life over his policy. Although this has been covered by mainstream press in the UK (Guardian, Daily Mail, etc) and is the subject of an online petition it is not clear that it is appropriate to be added to this article at present. WP is not a platform for arguments - by either party - and a particular difficult case which is not particularly rare across the whole industry is not necessarily deserving of an especially high profile. I therefore reverted the page to the final edit before the 'war' started. It is for other editors to determine whether they feel it acceptable to add any of this information to the article and still keep it NPOV, accurate, and fully cited, however I would remind all that WP is a reference work for long-term information, not a site for current news or discussion, and that unless this case results in a change in industry practice it is unlikely to become sufficiently noteworthy (in my current opinion: other opinions are available). --AlisonW (talk) 12:36, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate pages

[edit]

Two pages have Friends Life as their subject:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_life

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_Life

I'm not experienced enough to know what to do next.

There is no problem here. As with many articles where it is possible to choose different rules for capitalising an article (especially the case with company names and films) WP has multiple article pages but which all transparently direct the user to a single article. This is the case with the two alternatives you list above. --AlisonW (talk) 17:47, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
