CorenBot

The CorenBot is in error. It is quite difficult to write an article detailing all of the facts about Crosby without sounding like another site. The site in question has been cited as a source, help would be appreciated in improving the article.

The CorenBot is not in error. You have copied the content (word for word in certain sections). Just sourcing the article does not constitute "not plagiarizing". <3 bunny 00:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have amended the article with a wider range of sources and more original input. Is this better?

I think this is fine now, I removed the tag. I also moved the page as titles like "Sir" arent used in article names. You need to put "{{reflist}}" at the bottom in order to display the inline references. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 09:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Treasury Select Committee

On February 10th, 2009 at a public hearing of the Treasury Select Committee held in London, Paul Moore, formerly head of Group Regulatory Risk at HBOS, stated that he was sacked by James Crosby for raising concerns about lending practices at the company.

I've added the Robert Peston quote and link. Paul Moore, as Dean above notes, raised concerns around HBOS's lending practices - but it wasn't their lending that brought HBOS down, rather it was their funding. So Crosby was 'responsible' for the situation at HBOS, but not because of the reaons Paul Moore had raised before he left the bank in 2005.

That is POV, so I have made that clear and added the opposing view. 213.208.114.181 (talk) 13:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Liability / HBOS problems

Inclined to remove this. Not sure that it is directly relevant to this person-specifc article although I understand why it's been put in today. Any views please? leaky_caldron (talk) 18:48, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it needs to go. 78.105.98.199 (talk) 19:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
