[edit] About the Icesave article

I've reverted your re-insertion of that text. I removed it because essentially all of it was one of three things:

  1. Copyrighted text from Icesave / Landsbanki's press releases and similar.
  2. Outrightly promotional in its tone. See Wikipedia's 'neutral point-of-view' policy.
  3. Not related to Icesave, seeing as it makes 75% of the article talk about Landsbanki which has its own, quite separate, article.

The transient details of the structure of interest rates on savings accounts is not appropriate material for an encyclopedia article, and it does not appear in the articles of the other major banks and financial services companies (and where it does, it should be removed). I also note that you are editing the article from within Landsbanki itself in Iceland. This probably means you should consider the conflict of interest guidelines, too. Remeber that Wikipedia is not for promoting, advertising or evangelising your topic - it is an encyclopedia trying to contain the facts of a matter, and only those facts of encyclopedic notability.
