Context?

I disagree that the circumstances described in the Context section is relevant. Just as important would be the day's football results. I have cut and paste the section here:

Main article: 2008–2009 Irish banking crisis
Further information: [[:Anglo Irish Bank hidden loans controversy]]
The robbery followed a crisis of confidence in Ireland public finance sector. The country's third largest bank, Anglo Irish Bank, is subject to an ongoing controversy over hidden loans carried out by Sean FitzPatrick and had to be nationalised in January 2009. Allied Irish Bank and the Bank of Ireland itself have also been subject to recent recapitalisations of €3.5 billion each.[1] These incidents have led to a number of resignations within the financial sector and government approval ratings have dropped to record levels,[2][3][4] as industrial action was seen for the first time in two decades the day before this record robbery.[5]

Robbery section

The text is verbose, confused and in some cases irrelevant. Do we really need to know that the boy was collected because his parents were enroute to a holiday in Spain?! In addition it is extremely hard to read and make sense of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.202.122 (talk) 11:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poor assessment

An assessment must stand on its own. That an assessor has a good reputation is of no import. If you assess you must say how the article can be improved. Do not remove the assessment of the assessment. If that goes then so must the assessment itself. Please just say what must be done to improve the article. Thanks. Then the assessment of the assessment as being of poor quality can be removed. Paul Beardsell (talk) 23:02, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


The links to the articles on the Volkswagen Golf and Toyota Celica seem a bit out of place. Any thoughts? Mattbondy (talk) 00:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
