A message from Picard091488
I have made the contributions on the Quantum Talk page per your suggestion. Can you help me make these edits? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Quantum_Corporation&action=submit

COI template
I just wanted to let you know that I've removed the COI template on the Sally Ride article. While I appreciate what I suspect motivated you to add the template, it's a pretty specific template that indicates a major contributor has a close connection. Someone who's made 5 of the 2380 edits with an aggregate 8 out of 42,000 bytes (i.e., roughly the same level of contribution as you have) isn't a major editor.
I'm hoping you can help me to sort out the "engineer" bit on a bunch of articles. The assertion that Ride is an engineer was added by a user named Engfixed (contribs [1]) whose edits seem to all be adding unsourced statements that various people were engineers. I have my doubts about most of them, and I'm going to work to clean them up, but it would be great if someone else would pitch in. Risker (talk) 01:22, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Risker: Yes, I saw that you did right after you did it, - FlightTime (open channel) 01:24, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, FlightTime. I've gone through Engfixed's list and, while most of the article subjects graduated with some kind of engineering degree, many of them never actually worked in the field. I'm inclined to remove the word "engineer" from the lead sentence of those articles, at least. Any thoughts? Risker (talk) 02:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- No, really haven't looked at them. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:05, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- I could find no evidence that Sally Ride ever acted as an engineer. I haven't looked through the rest of the list, but I think removing all of Engfixed's additions unless a citation was added would be prudent. Risker is that something you'd want to take care of?
- It is worth keeping in mind that though someone have a direct connection to article's subject, that doesn't inherently mean their edits would harm the neutral point of view of the article. Removing an uncited statement that is known (to them) to be factually incorrect is in line with Wikipedia's policies. Prodego talk 02:42, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
