Oops! I missed your welcome message, so a belated thank you for the helpful links. I'm definitely appreciative of any assistance and feedback / guidance. I look forward to helping to act as a resource for neutral info on our clients, as needed.

If you are acting on behalf of clients, then by definition you are not neutral. . . Mean as custard (talk) 20:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mean, we do understand that Wikipedia has specific terms of use and conditions. We are trying our best to adhere to those rules, guidelines, and recommendations and will not add anything that does not abide by Wikipedia's rules and guidelines. We do want to act as a resource for information that can be used for Wikipedia entries relating to our clients, and will gladly assist in whatever manner we can. We welcome the scrutiny of and engagement with Wikipedia's editors (and please, please do tell us if we make mistakes - if we do, it's not intentional).

Best regards,

OE -

Thanks very much for the insight; I appreciate it. I do understand that we may face questions and possibly challenges from other Wikipedia editors but we do intend to stay strictly within the guidelines, so hopefully, that will help. We also have absolutely no problem engaging in dialog with other editors - that's the only way we can learn and improve our work with Wikipedia.

One more question, if you don't mind? Our earlier Hatteras Networks article is now obsolete, as the company merged with another company called Overture Networks. Overture (now our client) doesn't have a Wikipedia article. I'm not sure what the best strategy is - do we simply update and rename the old Hatteras entry? Or would it be better to start a new Overture article with link from the Hatteras article to the new article? I've been trying to research this but I'm having some difficulty finding anything applicable to this particular situation.

Again, my thanks for your help and for allowing me to pick your brain - much appreciated!

Cheers,

Melissa

I think it's better to update the existing article. I already moved it for you to the new title, Overture Networks. "Hatteras Networks" now redirects there. -- œ ^™ 18:19, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Ipaccess-logo3.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ipaccess-logo3.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:06, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have now updated (hopefully correctly) the ip.access image file that was uploaded earlier. ip.access has granted Interprose Public Relations explicit permission to use their copyrighted logo as part of the article about the company. If the image file description and tags are still incorrect, we'd be happy to correct any and all deficiencies, if someone can point us in the right direction.

Thanks for uploading File:Ipaccess-logo3.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:01, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sfan -

Thanks much for letting me know about the image; it will eventually be used in an article but it's taking me a bit longer than I expected it to get all my references together (we have a lot of them) so I haven't been able to get the article published yet. We can re-upload this when I've got it all complete.

Best regards,

WikiProject Cooperation

Hi, I thought you might be interested in a WikiProject designed to help editors with a conflict of interest learn and have a better experience on the site. It's been up and running for a few weeks now, but is really just getting momentum. If you're interested, WikiProject Cooperation is the place. Cheers!

Oooh, thank you for that info. I'd love to check out this WikiProject, as learning more about how to be more effective would be great. I'll definitely check it out and I appreciate the heads-up.

If you'd like a "mentor" that would able to work with you in order to get neutral information added to articles that would be difficult for you to do yourself, because of COI, feel free to sign up for the mentorship program at the Wikiproject main page. Otherwise, you can post any desired edits, along with text, references, and whatever else is needed over at the Wikiproject's Paid Editor Help page. I hope we have a good time working together as a part of the Wikiproject. :3 Silver seren^C 15:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's currently 163 members, I don't know if you're a part of the group already or not offhand, so i'll just ask, have you heard of the Corporate Representatives for Ethical Wikipedia Engagement (CREWE) Facebook group? There's a lot of people with similar jobs to yours that are working together to both interact more transparently and openly with Wikipedia and to educate other PR people and corporations in general on how to properly become engaged with Wikipedia (a la not Bell Pottinger). I just thought you'd like to know about the group, in case you'd like to join. I'm Sterling Ericsson over there. Silver seren^C 15:32, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

COI+ certification proposal

I've thought of an idea that might break our current logjam with paid editing. I'd love your sincere feedback and opinion.

Feel free to circulate this to anyone you think should know about it, but please recognize that it hasn't agreed upon by either PR organizations or WikiProjects or the wider community.

Patents etc.

Your source is independent, but still a primary source. I get the terminology confused sometimes and may not have written exactly what I meant. Wikipedia:Secondary does not mean independent explains it better than I did. As I said earlier, I won't be removing that section. If anything, I'd prefer to see it expanded and don't consider removing that info to be a useful intermediate step. For an example of an article that does this well, see Johnson & Johnson#Litigation. It tells the reader not only that JNJ patents stuff, but that at least two of those patents are both economically important and legally enforceable.

I may try to search for more sources and add to it later. I found some reports of a lawsuit with WiLAN, but it doesn't look too useful. Patent trolls sue everybody, so getting sued by one doesn't say much about Sierra. It's good enough for now, just a bit underwhelming. When a company spends $60 mil/yr on R&D, I'd expect they could say a lot of very interesting things about their patents beyond just counting them! Kilopi (talk) 08:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Revisions to IEEE Rebooting Computing article

There were some edits made by User:Tinton5 that made the IEEE Rebooting Computing article cut off in the middle of a word and removed big sections and many references. I have temporarily reverted those edits so as not to have what looks like an unfinished article in the main space. I am more than happy to work with any editors who'd like to offer guidance on edits that need to be made to the article to have it meet Wiki's standards. Please do feel free to reach out to me here regarding any and all issues, comments, required edits, or questions.

Please note that I am a COI editor and have declared a COI for this article both on my User page and the article's Talk page.

Kelly D. Brownell / Kelly David Brownell Merge

Hello! I am the person who created and submitted Kelly David Brownell article for review and publishing. My original intent was to update the existing Kelly D. Brownell article with my proposed edits. I submitted my revisions to Wikipedia:Articles for creation for review, thinking there would be corrections I needed to work in but the page was approved and published, leading to two separate articles about Kelly Brownell.

This error is entirely my fault and I apologize for the mistake. As per discussion on the Talk page of the existing article, a merge was suggested. As per the discussion, I've gone ahead and updated that existing article with the revisions from the second article. I'm not sure if I now need to request speedy deletion of this article, but am working to find out how to best proceed.

Again, my apologies for the error and the confusion it has caused.

Your submission at Articles for creation: March Networks (September 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Chrissymad were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:March Networks and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:March Networks, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
