User talk:LexisNexisRisk

November 2018
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bbb23 (talk) 18:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

{{unblock-spamun|JGR05020526|Response to reason #1. I work in a communications capacity and do not seek to add promotional language of any kind to the LexisNexis Risk Solutions Wikipedia article. In fact, I routinely work to educate the marketing and advertising people at LNRS about the appropriate use of promotional content. I wish to edit the history and information in the article because in its current state, the article does not meet Wikipedia's standards. In fact, its not even close to meeting Wikipedia's standards. Nearly all of the information in the article is outdated or simply incorrect including:


 * The opening paragraph: which begins with a description of one of the three companies that were combined to create LexisNexis Risk Solutions
 * CEO: the person who is listed left LNRS almost a decade ago and is now CEO of TransUnion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransUnion)
 * Logo:the one that appears is from the company that was acquired by LNRS
 * Notable news on breach incidents and major acquisitions that is not listed

Emotions run strong when a company is acquired. What I suspect happened is that die hard employees of ChoicePoint (which comprises 1/3 of LNRS) changed the article to reflect their former company. Then, the tenacious marketing and advertising people who I mentioned earlier started editing the article. The result is what currently exists. I completely understand why Wikipedia is extremely cautious about content or edits to the LNRS article that come from an LNRS ip address. I assure you that my only motive in making edits is to make the page correct, current and fitting of Wikipedia's standards.

Response to reason #2. Naming my account after LNRS was pure ignorance on my part. I did not realize that doing so is not permitted and incorrectly thought that by naming the account after LNRS that any edits would be viewed as "verified by the company." I have include a proposed name for my personal account above.

Wikipedia is my first stop for nearly everything that I need to research and I understand the importance of keeping its articles free of promotional content, current and accurate. I do hope that you will lift the ban so that I can bring the LNRS article up to Wikipedia standards, from my own, personal Wikipedia account. Thank you for your consideration.
