[edit] ARX (Algorithmic Research)

Hi. Do you have a connection with ARX (Algorithmic Research)? --Tagishsimon (talk)

Yes, I work @ ARX.

[edit] Why did you remove my edits from Electronic Signatures

Can you please explain why you've removed my addtions on the drawbacks of electornic sigantures and the how to choose guide? Ramel.levin 12:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Because it looks like it's an advertisement for something, and was probably copied directly from somewhere, and is totally uncited. Also, wikipedia is not a guide or walkthrough. Also... please login when making edits, don't edit under an IP and then talk from an account -- though it was probably accidental. Gscshoyru 12:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, I copied it from my own site (arx.com) and since I didn't want to link to us as a vendor, I didn't cite the source. I wrote the original text ;) I thought this would be useful, but I see your point and left it. I did roll back to adding the drawbacks of electronic signatures which does seem appropriate. Let me know if you think otherwise. Ramel.levin 07:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I hate to say it... but I really don't think it is. It's still written in an uncyclopedic tone, still slightly POV'd, still uncited... plus, since you work for this company, it's a WP:COI so be careful. Change it so it isn't a direct copy, cite it, and make it more encyclopedic, and it should be good. Gscshoyru 15:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Similarly, I removed the section from Digital signature for the same kind of reasons. Also, that stuff is not really on-topic anyway, the article is about what digital signatures are, their history and significance. There is no place for that kind of material on Wikipedia, really, but you might consider Wikibooks. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not for more on defining the purpose of Wikipedia pages, and Wikipedia:Five pillars for a good general introduction. Mangojuicetalk 13:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] COI

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. [1] --Ronz (talk) 17:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Third warning: Conflict of Interest and Spam

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Electronic signature. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Gerry Ashton (talk) 18:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, please note that when spam links to a company are added repeatedly, that company may be blacklisted which will prevent any links to that company anywhere in Wikipedia, even by an editor who is not affiliated with the company. When such blacklisting comes to the attention of the company's management, it is conceivable the editor/employee who caused the blacklisting could face consequences from company management. --Gerry Ashton (talk) 18:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
