I appreciate this, WWB, especially after the grilling I gave you about proposed edits to the Hedge fund article! The fact that you and your clients are persistent, willing to be open about your associations, and willing to abide by Wikimedia's CoI's standards even if it makes adding content take a lot longer, is a big plus. I hope you, your clients, and Wikipedia will mutually benefit from this in the long run.
