July 2013[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.  You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

We are Chexsystems and thats why the username is the name of our company. We noticed wrong links and erroneous information in our wiki page and they need correction. We wen't aware we could not create an account to correct our own page. What should we do? Please advise. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chexsystems (talkcontribs) 21:10, 3 July 2013‎

There are two problems with the account itself.
  1. Your edits make it appear that multiple people will be editing with the account. Each account must be used by one person only. There is no sharing of accounts.
  2. The account name gives the appear that the edits are made on behalf of the company. This gives the appearance that the company is using Wikipedia to advertise itself.
To move forward each person that wants to edit must create their own account that represents them and doesn't give the appearance that they are editing on behalf of the company.
The next problem is that you have a conflict of interest. We highly discourage people with a conflict of interest from directly editing article where they have a conflict of interest. Most people that have conflict of interest can not write about the subject in a neutral manner. We recommend you don't edit the article but edit the article's talk page and explain what changes you think should be made. A very good page for you to read is, Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. If you have any questions please ask. GB fan 23:28, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]



Ok we will not edit or attempt to edit from this account and do not intend at all to advertise or promote chexsystems on the actual page. The request was to simply update the main website on the page to our real website www.chexsystems.com. Customers are contacting us daily and are confused because of this. I you can, please make that change. And to make our site easy to access for the biewers who are looking at the page. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chexsystems (talkcontribs) 00:21, 4 July 2013‎
