- I have absolutely no idea, but it's unacceptable. References that are on the Internet are supposed to have a link. --anonymous ip
- As it stands, the short form citation (see WP:CITESHORT) is still a legitimate citation method on Wikipedia. Don't ask me why ... its nothing but a nuisance (in my opinion). I try to maintain neutrality on citation formats, but the short form is inconsistent with easy verification via internet sources. Hey, its great if you're writing an essay that'll be printed for submission for an anthropology course. But not for something like WP. Especially when those citations have to be maintained by someone else. Unfortunately, its more complicated than it first seems. Sigh ... I wish they'd just pull the bandaid off and declare it deprecated. Prime Lemur (talk) 23:18, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Characterization of the fraud as "controversy"
editThe Wells Fargo cross-selling scandal involved fraudulent and unethical activities rather than just a mere "controversy." The use of the term "controversy" white washes the seriousness of the issue.The scandal was well-documented, and there is clear case of fraud. More than 2 million customers were affected, many of those are most vulnerable financially.
I changed a few of this whitewashing and hopefully somebody can give a good cleanup. Tuskla (talk) 18:00, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
On going Fake Businesses Documents
