Cleanup needed
Hi all. I added the cleanup tag to call attention to the need for some reoganizing of this article for readability and organization. There are some stylistic inconsistencies present, and a think a good once-over should help. Your thoughts and edits are welcome! Please comment using the ":" below this section - thanks. --NightMonkey 23:51, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

Organized a bit, but still needs work
I tried to organize all the information. I lumped the controvery-related paragraphs together and deleted a redundant paragraph; I created a new section or two so that the article makes more sense, but some of those sections ("Corporate governance", "Security Breaches") are pretty slim. I think this is a great improvement in readability for this article, but some more work needs to be done. Subversive 08:15, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Removed cleanup note
I removed the cleanup note after doing much more cleaning up. The article looks pretty good to me now. Of course it could use some more information, but I fixed the stylistic errors that I noticed and organized the info. Subversive 09:54, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

National Credit Audit Corporation
Does anyone know the relationship between ChoicePoint and National Credit Audit Corporation, a fraudulent company based out of Peoria, Illinois? It seems that ChoicePoint owns this subsidiary company which seems to send out credit audits of magazines that people don't actually subscribe to. If anyone knows, please reply underneath this comment. --66.153.178.253 02:36, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Reply from ChoicePoint: Please visit the company's official Web site (www.choicepoint.com) to learn about ChoicePoint's subsidiaries and acquisitions. ChoicePoint 18:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Awards section
I haven't been able to find any firm wikipedia policies on awards, but I'd suggest that the awards section on this page does not contain awards I would expect to read about in an encyclopedia. On most company pages, content about all but the most internationally recognised awards is removed. I would suggest we do so here too. Saganaki- 01:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No suggestions to the contrary so removing awards section. Saganaki- 02:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Also suggest removing media quotes section, again not a feature of other CORP pages.Saganaki- 05:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No suggestions to the contrary so removing media section.Saganaki- 00:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Suggest removing the blanket republishing of the Civil Rights Commission Report on 2000 Florida Elections as this is available online and we can reference it.Saganaki- 04:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion from ChoicePoint: Would it be a fair compromise to simply summarize the report with a paragraph, and then provide a link to the full report for more information? ChoicePoint 14:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we could work the salient points of the report into the narrative of the section. That would serve the interests of balance and structuring the section in an informative way. Along the way I'd propose paring back some of the material in the section - specifically the Schlenther v. Florida Department of State material which is probably best dealt with in the 2000 Election controversy Wikipedia article.Saganaki- 06:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Misattributed material
I've removed the following text from the article: .."and data supplied by ChoicePoint was used in the Beltway Snipers investigation" because it appears to be misattributed. A Business Week article actually attributes this to Seisint, a competitor to ChoicePoint.Saganaki- 06:18, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced material
Removed following statements which couldn't be sourced:
 * ChoicePoint has been contracted by the Transportation Security Administration to screen job applicants and investigating 112,278 people. The US Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children credit the corporation with assisting in the return of 800 missing children.

ChoicePoint and Obama Administration
I just added a sourced blurb about the Obama Administration using ChoicePoint for consumer and criminal background checks of prospective Administration employees. While it hasn't actually been discussed as of this writing, the PDF that CNN is hosting has the actual documents which have a release form for all to see. I think that this should be fleshed out in the article, and I'll continue to look for more media links. The reference can probably be better integrated in the main body of the article. --NightMonkey (talk) 22:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
