Expand[edit]

I would like to improve on the current content levels but am reluctant to as an employee of the company. Would it be possible to arrange to liase with someone to improve the information but with the neutrals standpoint? Within the financial spread betting and CFD trading industry, CMC Markets is an important contributor globally. Apologies, I am very new to Wikepedia and am unsure of the etiquette. --NotaDestination (talk) 14:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading sales practices[edit]

Phil Bridger, are you employed with CMC Markets? Please undo what you removed. The information I posted about CMC Markets using Natwest is verifiable. It's also verifiable that Natwest siphons money from wires passing in and out of the CMC Markets account. No citation is needed to verify this - and you're doing the community a disservice by withholding it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgombos (talk • contribs) 17:59, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not employed by CMC Markets, as is obvious from the fact that I have been reverting attempts to add their spam links to this article and contract for difference. I'm afraid that a citation is needed to verify the content that you want to add, as it is for all potentially contentious information on Wikipedia. The word verifiable has a specific technical meaning on Wikipedia, which is described by the verifiability policy, and which does involve citing reliable sources. Can't you find a newspaper article or similar source that confirms what you are saying? If so then you can add the content with a citation to the source. If you need help formatting the citation then just describe it here with name of publication, article title, publication date and url if available and I'll take care of the formatting.

Competitor advertising[edit]

The reference to 'Investors switch between spread betting providers' is an interesting piece in relation to CMC Markets. However, this reference has been used for advertising purposes by one of CMC Markets key competitors, IG Group to gain entry to the page, thus devaluing the importance of the research piece. Is this a marketing tactic that Wikipedia is happy to promote? --NotaDestination (talk) 12:59, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, the competitor name is not important to understanding the information and could be mis-construed, so have removed this. Also strengthened the message about the survey source data. Sargdub (talk) 01:10, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
