[edit] Wikipedia administrator edit

I've formatted and tried to remove jargon/ad-speak. Assuming that HoulihanLokey has no problem with my changes, it's at a stage where I would not consider it a speedy deletion candidate. That isn't to say that a user sensitive to corporate astroturfing won't try, but it'd probably get a full deletion discussion if that happened. So I'm fine with moving this into the main namespace, though {{NotableWikipedian}} should be added to the talk with a link to this account so readers know of the potential conflict of interest. Also, I would appreciate it if Anonymous Dissident would do a read-through to make sure that it's still not to jargon-ish, requiring {{technical}} or a similar tag. I have a few friends who are economists or who work in hedge funds so I may be a bit more familiar with the terminology than the average reader.
I recommend that HoulihanLokey confirm that this is an official public relations account of the company on Wikipedia by sending an email to either myself, Anonymous Dissident or to WP:OTRS from a Houlihan Lokey email address. A confirmation note can then be left on this talk page. I also suggest reading the unofficial essay User:Jmabel/PR. Thanks, BanyanTree 23:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Identity confirmation

I have received an email from an hlhz.com address stating, "Houlihan Lokey confirms that User:HoulihanLokey on the English language Wikipedia website is the official account of the company. Editing done through this account is approved by Houlihan Lokey." - BanyanTree 23:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
