Hello! I, the author of the initial draft of this page, have a COI: I've been paid by Edelman Financial Engines to create this draft. I'm happy to help with any feedback about how to ensure this article is neutral and has encyclopedic value. I want to ensure I am transparent throughout the process of getting this article reviewed for a move to mainspace. Many thanks. Mary Gaulke ( talk) 02:05, 7 June 2021 (UTC) reply

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi! As noted above, Edelman Financial Engines is a client of mine. Two quick edit requests for this article:

• Adding to end of "History":

In June 2021, Edelman Financial Engines announced that Ric Edelman would step down from his role as chairman of financial education and client experience but stay on as a strategic adviser, a board member, and the firm's largest individual shareholder. ^[1]

• Deleting "Ric Edelman" in the "Key people" parameter in the infobox.

Thanks for your help! Mary Gaulke ( talk) 15:47, 2 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Done. I changed the wording a little bit to avoid matching the same phrase as in the press release. CapitalSasha ~ talk 23:21, 7 July 2021 (UTC) reply
