Request reason:

I would ask you to remove the flag on this entry and to remove my ban.

I am writing to dispute the claim that I have edited wikipedia for advertising or promotion. Specifically, I am not being paid to create or edit a page on Rosemary Leith - the entry for which I have recently been active and for which there were some questions about copyright.

I confirm I have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.

I am not being being compensated for my edits. My affiliation is that I am employed by the World Wide Web Consortium at MIT W3C.

As far as any conflict of interest for the subjects I have written about, I know Rosemary Leith because I know Tim Berners-Lee (he is the Director of the Web Consortium and is my boss) but I am not in any way being paid to make an entry for Rosemary Leith. Tim Berners-Lee did not ask me to make an entry for her and in fact, he may not know I did so at all. Any text I’ve added to wikipedia is factual not promotional.

I created an entry for Rosemary Leith because I know her and know that women, especially women working in policy and technology, are vastly under-represented in wikipedia With her extensive work and long advocacy she deserves to be better known. She is not (simply) the wife a famous person, she is a well respected person on her own merits. There have been recent pushes to include more women in wikipedia and this was a contribution I felt I could make for a women in the technology and advocacy sphere who does the work but does not always get the credit.

I can add the World Wide Web Consortium and MIT to my user page if that would be appropriate.

I have some expertise, because of my job history, with web technologies and web history but if I should not contribute entries or updates about technology, people who work in technology or the web, please let me know and I will not do so in the future.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I would like to be able to contribute helpfully to wikipedia as it’s such an important resource.
