Talk:Bank Charges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bank Charges is a universal term for the application of charges to ones account! the article regarding bank charges has been made in order for every citizen concerned with bank charges to be able to look upon the free encyclopedia and educate themselves on the current and future (changing) situation of bank charges.

It would be a crime in itself to write the article and leave out some of the most influential organizations concerned with the claiming of bank charges.

It is contended then that the article should remain and the community entrusted to delivery a well written concise explanation of the bank charges and the effects of them on that same community.

It would be a crime to delete the entry.

The original article was intended only as a starting point and should I AGREE be changed to include those entities that have played such an important part in the process. --Bank Buster 14:26, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

A crime? My, such hyperbole! No this article violates multiple Wikipedia policies. First of all, it is a blatant violation of {{WP:NPOV|neutral point of view policy]], as it very much advocates a particular view or position. Secondly, the article appears to exist almost solely to promote companies or organizations which fit this point of view, and which stand to profit from the publicity given by this article, thus violating advertising prohibitions. Your cause may be just, but Wikipedia is not a place to promote or denigrate any cause. It is an encyclopedia. This article must be deleted. Realkyhick 16:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite not Delete This is a major issue in the UK, and so i think a small rewrite would make it perfectly valid. At the least, it should be put to WP:AFD Willow177 18:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Looks better now, though it still needs fleshing out a bit more. Any more sources to cite? That would help. Realkyhick 23:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Update: Did it myself. Got curious about the topic. I wish we had this sort of regulation here in the States, though our bank charges are typically lower - about $30 or $35, or roughly GBP 15-18. Realkyhick 00:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
