Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "National Processing LLC", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of a company and possibly a role account. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

Hi there
Hi! This is a company page that I'm in the process of getting auto confirmed. According to this article (https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/create-company-wikipedia-page), I need to be auto confirmed before I can truly build out my company's page.

If I'm doing this incorrectly, please let me know! Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by National Processing LLC (talk • contribs) 14:49, 2 Feb 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Please see the notice above about names of your account posted by Skyerise. Please also see our Community Guideline on editing with a conflict of interest at this page: WP:COI. One very important section to read if you are editing professionally is WP:PCD. This is a Wikipedia policy that states If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Also, when communicating on talk pages (like this one), please remember to put four tildes at the end of your post (~), this will automatically add your signature and a timestamp. Happy editing-- IAm  Chaos  02:07, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, remix
Awesome, thank you! This page will violate zero conflicts of interest and is not intended to generate revenue nor am I an external contributor. As soon as this page is autoconfirmed, it will be a high-level overview of National Processing LLC, much in the way of any other business listed on Wikipedia. Please let me know if you need anything else!

 * What you are contemplating is most likely not permitted, and therefore your username does not escape our policies. The simple fact of the matter is that: you are not permitted to write an article on your own business or work on articles that come under its umbrella. Skyerise (talk) 17:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a directory of businesses that provides "overviews" and is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. Instead of using third party blogs to rely on for knowledge of Wikipedia policies, please just come to the source. 331dot (talk) 18:45, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website - I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's 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. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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   at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 18:42, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Clarification - This is a notable organization
This is for a notable organization.

National Processing LLC has been identified as a top payment processor by:

Business News Daily: ArticleNational Processing Review 2022 | Best Credit Card Processors & Wikipedia Page| Business News Wikipedia page

Credit Donkey: Article| National Processing Review 2022 - Services, Fees, Equipment - Not a profile or company-sponsored

I don't link these 3 sources Wikipedia articles directly as I know they have pages (which would be linked on the profile page) Forbes: Article| Best Credit Card Processors of 2022 | & Wikipedia Page - This is not a profile nor is it company-sponsored

Investopedia: Article| The Best Credit Card Processing Companies of 2022 - Also not a profile nor is it company-sponsored

NerdWallet: Article.com/article/small-business/cheapest-credit-card-processing | 8 Cheapest Credit Card Processing Companies for Small ... - Also not a profile nor is it company-sponsored

These do not include the daily publications that list National Processing LLC as their top vendor in this industry.

There is also significant coverage regarding another entity with the same name currently undergoing a lawsuit that shouldn't be affiliated with National Processing LLC: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/arizona/azdce/2:2019cv05468/1209817/65/

This page is not self promotional nor will it ever be self promotional. The intent was to have a page similar to Square or Clover, both entities we work with. We have been referenced in a Wikipedia page that has since been taken down and are eligible to be added to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_payment_service_providers.

I am not sure who else I need to speak with or any other documentation I should provide but this page will violate zero Wikipedia policies. Let me know next steps please.

 * Let me know next steps please. If you want to know what the next steps are, please read the big blue box on this page. Happy editing-- IAm Chaos  20:42, 3 February 2022 (UTC)


 * And maybe the article will eventually be written by uninvolved editors. The short story is, it can't be written by anyone being paid by the company, either as an employee or as a third-party services provider. Neither Square nor Clover wrote their own articles or paid to have them written. That's not how Wikipedia works. Skyerise (talk) 20:24, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Disclosure
If you are employed by National Processing (which I believe to be true) and you wish to make edits about it, you must disclose your affiliation with the company, in compliance with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. Undisclosed paid editing is a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use and can result in your account being blocked.

Articles about businesses are included only if the business meets Wikipedia's notability criteria, meaning it has to have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the company. Company-authored sources (e.g. press releases, interviews, social media) cannot establish notability, nor can sources of dubious or unknown provenance. Only sources with established reputations for fact-checking and editorial oversight will be considered reliable. In short, we have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself; we only care about what third-party writers have chosen to publish about it, without inducement.

If the company is someday deemed notable and an article about it is accepted, please realize that the company will have no right of ownership or editorial control over its content. Any Wikipedia editor can edit any article at any time, and unless we have clear evidence to the contrary, we assume good faith of other editors. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:56, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
