A sourced, paid-disclosed edit request is pending at Talk:BricsCAD covering the Bricsys/Octave corporate spin-off and the V26 release. Review welcome from editors watching this project. Ahsan Khan Niazi (talk) 23:14, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I am an SEO professional working for Canary Mail (Cartasec Pte. Ltd.) and have a disclosed conflict of interest, so I am not editing the article directly.

I have proposed several neutral, sourced changes on the Talk page, including updates related to product description and verifiable information, following COI and edit request guidelines.

I would appreciate if an independent editor could review the requests and provide feedback or implement them if appropriate.

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Trojan horse (computing)#Requested move 30 May 2026 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. 🦅White-tailed eagle^{Talk to the eagle}Stalking eagle 01:18, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have a disclosed conflict of interest regarding Draft:Robert Woeger, because I am Robert Woeger, the subject of the draft. The draft has been submitted through Articles for Creation, and I will not move it directly into article space myself.

I would appreciate neutral feedback from uninvolved editors with experience in software, shareware, DOS utilities, or early internet history. In particular, I would welcome comments on whether the draft’s sourcing and balance are sufficient for an article about a DOS-era shareware author whose work included the MS-DOS utility HotDIR/HDIR, the Bethany Bible CD-ROM, Salvation.com, and related Christian software/internet projects.

I am not requesting approval, expedited review, or support for the draft. I am only seeking constructive feedback on notability, reliable sourcing, neutrality, and whether any content should be trimmed or reorganized before AfC review.

Thank you.

Hello: I am interested in getting honest feedback on the draft article I have created on Draft:OnPay, LLC. To be completely transparent, I do work for the company and have a conflict of interest (COI) under the Wikipedia guidelines. That is why I’m posting it in the draft space and seeking feedback from this group before going through the AfC page. A Wiki page was submitted on OnPay about 1.5 years ago and it was declined; another reason I’m seeking feedback. My goal is to adhere to all of Wikipedia’s guidelines, especially pertaining to COI editing, and I welcome comments and assistance. I appreciate your time. Best, Hitchnation (talk) 15:36, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello editors! My name's Mike and I'm employed at Certinia. I have a COI edit I'm proposing over on the company article Talk page, and wondered if anyone would be interested in taking a look? Thanks, and see you over there Mikeatcertinia (talk) 22:04, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
