Welcome!

Hello, Lonestar2023, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was FirstCash, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

Hi @Skywatcher68, thank you for this information and for welcoming me to the community! I appreciate your help and will make the edit requests in the draft format as suggested. I have also included a conflict of interest (COI) disclosure statement on my Wikipedia user profile in acknowledgment as a FirstCash Holdings, Inc. representative.

My main objective is to update the FirstCash page to reflect the company's history as FirstCash Holdings, Inc. since Cash America International was dissolved after the merger in 2016. I will be sure to include this information with support in my COI edit request on the FirstCash page. I look forward to working with you and other editors on this page. ~~~~ Lonestar2023 (talk) 19:54, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

COI edit request

{{Help me}} Hi, I made a COI edit request on the FirstCash page but I do not think that it has been viewed. Would someone be able to take a look at the request and let me know if I followed the request process properly? Thank you! Lonestar2023 (talk) 22:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
