[edit] NPOV

The article focuses only on controversy and criticism of the company. More information is needed on its founding, history, and development. The company is over 50 years old, it only got into refund lending in the last 15 years or so. We're missing the boat on this one.71.255.170.248 05:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear user at IP 71.255.170.248: Fine, but we don't need a tag on the article. We can discuss the problem of non-neutral POV here on the talk page. Tags should be added "as a last resort." See[1] Yours, Famspear 19:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear IP 71.255.170.28: Almost the first half of the article focuses on general information such as the history of the company; only the last half is devoted primarily to critique. I believe you are overstating your case a bit. You are correct, however, that the article could be expanded to include more on the founding, history and development of the company.

[edit] Merge with H&R Block Mount Holly District

Can't see why districts need their own articles. Present H&R Block Mount Holly District article satisifies no notability criteria. JASpencer (talk) 14:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to intro

I removed the general info section and moved most of its contents up into the summary. I cut the info about the name change because it is handled in the Bloch bios, but also because I couldn't figure out a good place for a mention in this article. Flowanda | Talk 05:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
