Headquarters photo

The photo in the infobox is not of the BNP Paribas headquarters, as the caption says, but of BNP Paribas Investment Partners (see Comptoir national d'escompte de Paris#Headquarters building). Either the caption should be changed or the photo. Mats (talk) 20:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

sanctions

How is a French bank responsible to uphold sanctions imposed by another country?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:18, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I wondered that too, the article doesn't explain why the U.S has the right to do this.--English Bobby (talk) 12:47, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Because it does business in the United States. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:46, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Question

Hello,

I'm a new Wikipedia user, so I don't want to make beginner's mistakes, but maybe somebody more experienced can enlighten me and help me make edits as appropriate.

Isn't the sentence

"BNP Paribas has one of the highest credit ratings in its peer group with the long term debt of the group currently ranked A+ by S&P, A2 by Moody's and A+ by Fitch."

subjective, and possible advertising?

Moreover, the link given as a reference

http://www.fitchratings.com/corporate/ratings/issuer_content.cfm?issr_id=80359629

seems to be broken.

I think your assessment is valid. This page may be of assistance if you are doubting whether or not to edit: WP:BRD. Also, WP:REF explains how references function in wikipedia. Vrac (talk) 15:07, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
