Hello Newtonlee! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button   located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some recommended guidelines to facilitate your involvement. Happy Editing! -- Kukini 02:12, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

COI and ES

Hi. I actually came here to remind you that you should be completing edit summaries every time you make a contribution to article space. However, I noticed that your name is the same as that of a page which is a biographical article about a person with the same name as yours. In deference to the work you have put into Wikipedia over the years, I won't of course place a silly template warning on your talk page, but please do take a moment to read our policy at WP:COI. Thank you, and happy editing! --Kudpung (talk) 06:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Help with article?

edit

Hi,

I noticed you made edits to the article about computer security and have expertise in technology subjects. I wonder if you might be interested in looking at the article about one of the important companies in the field, AlienVault. The AlienVault article is a stub with few sources and a tone problem. It's been flagged for problems. So I created a comprehensive new draft located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BC1278/subpage2 which addresses the issues.

It's an interesting and notable company. They created and run the world's largest open source project collecting computer security threats, OSSIM. They're a major player in the computer security field and have raised $116 million in financing.

I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor and have authored many articles but I have a Conflict of Interest here so as per Wikipedia's policies WP:COI, I am looking with someone with an interest in the subject to do an independent review of the draft. I'd be pleased to do further work based on any suggestions. Under the COI rules, the direct edits to the article (such as moving over the draft to the mainspace) need to be made by someone independent.

Thanks for considering this,

Newtonlee Hi Newton. I'd like to suggest the best way to start would be for you to edit the page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BC1278/subpage2 and send me questions and requests along the way. Then when you're satisfied with it, you can copy and paste it into the mainspace article for AlienVault. I'm not allowed to make direct edits to the mainspace article but I can make changes on my namespace article, so it will be easier to collaborate that way. Does that sound reasonable?BC1278 (talk) 16:49, 6 December 2015 (UTC)BC1278Reply

BC1278 I'm certainly interested in AlienVault's Open Threat Exchange and OSSIM. I'll be happy to edit the page. Newtonlee (talk) 19:21, 6 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Newtonlee It might be best to transfer this discussion to the Talk page of the draft article. Just in case you don't know, if you click the star on the top navigation of any page, you will be alerted whenever there's a change to the page. So you don't need to send messages on LinkedIn BC1278 (talk) 21:25, 6 December 2015 (UTC)BC1278Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited AlienVault, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CTO. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

COI

  Hello, Newtonlee. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Newton Lee, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Bueller 007 (talk) 01:11, 16 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
