Clean up of Cover-More Travel Insurance page

I added un-cited copy to this lead paragraphs of this page in 2024 with the best of intentions but with little understanding of how Wikipedia works. I have deleted that copy now and am seeking removal of the message at the top of the page. MJMullins (talk) 07:09, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Clean up of Cover-More Wikipedia page

• What I think should be changed:

I work for Cover-More and in 2024 I edited the Cover-More Wikipedia page without really understanding Wikipedia, but with the best of intentions.

I would now like to remove that un-cited copy and also, as a result, be able to remove the box at the top that talks to my conflict of interest.

This is the copy I would like to repalce:

Cover-More Group is a global travel insurance, medical and security assistance provider headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The group was acquired by Zurich Insurance Group in April 2017.[1] The group also has leading market positions in Ireland, Latin America, New Zealand and the USA where Cover-More owns Travelex Insurance Services. The global group has more than 17 million customers and employs more than 1500 people. Cover-More has operations in 16 countries including Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Brazil and Argentina.

With this copy:

Cover-More is a travel insurance, medical and security assistance provider headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Cover-More was acquired by Zurich Insurance Group in April 2017.[1]

• Why it should be changed:

Because I was at fault when I made this changes in 2024 and I would like users to trust that the information presented can be cited and is objective.

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

Dear Spintendo, are these citations acceptable for the sentence 'Cover-More is a travel insurance, medical and security assistance provider headquartered in Sydney, Australia.'

I am keen to clean up the page from the mess I made in 2024, albeit with good intentions. Maureen MJMullins (talk) 07:08, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Since the lead section summarizes information found in the main body of text, the usual practice is that information in the lead section does not contain any references, leaving it to be placed where mentioned in the main body of text. So I would suggest that anything being proposed for the lead section, go ahead and add the main body text proposals as well, here in the request. Please ensure any text to be replaced be included in the request. So a sample edit request might approximate the following:

Sample edit request

1. Please remove the first sentence from the lead section:

"The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 25 miles in length."

---

2. Please add the following claim as the first sentence of the lead section:

"The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 864,337 miles in length."

---

3. Please add the following claim as the third sentence of the second paragraph in the main body of text:

"The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 864,337 miles in length."

---

4. Using as the reference:

Prisha Harinath (2023). The Sun. Academic Press. p. 1.

---

5. Reason for change being made:

"The previously given diameter was incorrect."

Let me know if you have any questions about this. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  04:56, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

3. Please add the following claim to the end of the 7^th paragraph in the main body of text.
