[edit] Recent edits

Hi there. Seems like we have a good bit of back and forth reverts going on here today. Let's stop for a minute and disuss this rather than violating the Three-revert rule.

Information has been being added to the article without reliable sources having been cited as is required by the verifiability policy. To quote from that policy, "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.

Wikipedia also has a strict neutral point of view policy and I would tend to agree that some of the language in the new information needs to be toned down to conform to it.

Right now, the only citations in the entire article are in the *Robbery incidents* section. There really need to be more for ALL of the information in the article, not just the new information. I have tagged the article with {{moresources}} to give editors a chance to add some and establish the firm's notability firmly.

So, now that I have given my thoughts; based admittedly on my first impressions of what's going on, what are all of your thoughts? Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 01:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


I appreciate your feedback. My main concern regarding the recent edits was the use of non-NPOV terms like "political pawn." However, if cited sources can be found using these actual terms and phrases in the mainstream media or elsewhere, I will drop my objections. I re-added the information about COmmerce Bank Harrisburg, an independently owned franchise. I cited sources (their website) for the article. If I did not cite the sources properly, please fix them or tell me.

[edit] Questions about Business Model section

I'm curious about the sentence "Much of Commerce Bank's sucess is the ability of the company to get no-bid government contracts for their insurance business as well as lucrative government deposits." Not that I actively dis-believe it or find such a notion offensive, I am just curious what if any sources are there for this statement. Doregasm 00:46, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

You're not alone in noting the lack of sources to support recent edits. PansaM22 seems to be doing a good job keeping unsourced POV edits (mostly made by CAMDENBEER) out. Wl219 21:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
this section seems like it was written by employees of this company.

[edit] Scandals

Not one portion of this section is cited...added a dubie. --DodgerOfZion 21:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Much of it was reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer or Courier-Post newspapers over the last few years Bunnygod888 11:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

It needs citing, or I'm liable to 86 it. DodgerOfZion —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 18:09:18, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for the citations on the first two items, Flavious27. Also thanks for correcting the dates of Wow celebrations at the Tweeter. I used dates that were there, and added an additional one (that I attended), but had not read that 2003 was already noted for NYC Bunnygod888 01:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


I would like to hear more on this.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manoftheisland (talk • contribs) 07:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cycle Service Charge

Has anyone else been hit with one of these? So much for "No stupid fees; no stupid hours"... --Scottandrewhutchins 20:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


It might help to tell us what cycle service charge means. PanzaM22 23:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Mike


A cycle service charge is incurred when a customer drops below the $100 minimum for that statement cycle... Commerce thought it was a great idea to use that name to confuse people : )

[edit] TD Banknorth

someone added a citation to a comment stating that the sale fell through, but the link is to purchase an article. TD Banknorth's article does not mention this... Bunnygod888 (talk) 13:39, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
