Grudge

Please can those people with an obvious grudge against Matalan please use Wikipedia as a platform to abuse. Dubud 19:19, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe someone may want to write about when Matalan deducted 20% off all invoices to lower costs? Here is a factual article from "The Guardian" ( http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,1768877,00.html ). 22:40, 17 September 2006 (GMT)

Fair use rationale for Image:Logo-matalan.png

Image:Logo-matalan.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Matalan PR document

Much of this article reads as if it was written by somebody in Matalan's press office. It is excessively discursive with almost no references. I won't go through the article adding tags as there would simply be too many and the article would become completely unreadable. --Ef80 (talk) 14:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

There is also a sinhalese film (1955) by the name of Matalan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.51.60.125 (talk) 22:18, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

fundraising - deletion

The section currently states that "Matalan does a lot of fundraising for the NSPCC", and the reference leads to a generic NSPCC page that has no mention of matalan at all.

given that there is no evidence to support this statement, and the statement itself is subjective, i am going to delete this section. I suggest it isn't reinstated until evidence is provided.
