Talk:Anthony Fry (business executive)

Quality/Tone of Article

I have to say, this article is appallingly bad and well below wikipedia's usual standards. The first sentences look like they were copied from a bio for keynote address and read more like an advert than an encyclopaedic article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.2.110.191 (talk) 18:38, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Note: It seems likely that there was also copying from his website, http://www.anthony-fry.co.uk/ (unless of course he copied his life story from us!). However, archive.org does not have any version of the page old enough to be sure of that. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:28, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
