Removed the phrase "Eugene is a member of the Computer Anti-virus Researchers' Organization ( CARO), the global association of leading anti-virus experts. " from the text as Eugene Kaspersky is not a member of CARO anymore.
Some people tend to think Eugene is a Communist. These people are known as correct people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxis ftmfw ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

My name is Aliya Tuktarova, and I'm working in corporate communications at Kaspersky Lab. I have corrected one spelling mistake and added a new definition.
1. I changed Kaspersky Labs to Kaspersky Lab as only the latter spelling is right.
2. Changed the general company definition to "Kaspersky Lab is a developer of secure content & threat management systems and the world’s largest privately held vendor of software security products" - this definition is used in all the official company communications and gives more precise wording of the company occupation.
I will be happy to discuss these changes with you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliya Tuktarova ( talk • contribs) 13:20, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I have added the information about the Wired's article about Eugene Kaspersky into a proper section, along with Eugene's own counter-response to this article (where he discusses several errors and omissions from that article), in as "neutral" way as it is possible. If you have additional information related to it - obviously feel free to add it, just don't try to add the redundant "fluff" text to it or any irrelevant sources which are not directly related to Kaspersky himself (for example the information about "Flame" virus - keep this information in an article about Flame, not here) or your own "conspiracy theories" (for example about this Wired article being "published with just a few months left until the U.S. Presidential elections" or similar nonsense). 98.113.47.15 ( talk) 07:54, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
This article basically reads like a puff piece. I'd also advise checking just how many company employees have been responsible for editing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.59.139.64 ( talk) 06:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
The tone seems to lack neutrality and balance. Mainly positives. No mention of tenure as former Soviet Intelligence Officer or ties to Putin, which are all publicized criticisms (Wired). Plus the tone of the article seems to lack neutrality.Lets discuss and find some encyclopedic balance. -- 0pen$0urce ( talk) 22:09, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
The article currently states :- In March 2015, Bloomberg accused Kaspersky to have close ties to Russian military and intelligence officials.[49] Kaspersky slammed the claims in his blog, calling the coverage "sensationalist" and guilty of "exploiting paranoia" to "increase readership," but did not reffer clearly whether these claims are true or not.[50]
In the blog EK specifically called the allegations false. AnnaComnemna ( talk) 15:29, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on
Eugene Kaspersky. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{
source check}}
(last update: 5 June 2024).

![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
The current article has some promotional content like the "Awards & Recognition" section, not enough content about speculation over his Russian government affiliations, which is one of the things he is best-known for, and other issues of sourcing, NPOV , etc. Also, it has been inappropriately edited by his employer in the past in a POV manner and even on controversial issues. They didn't know any better and this is a big part of why I'm here as a sponsored editor to correct these mistakes and ensure better conduct in the future.
I have put together a first draft at: Talk:Eugene Kaspersky/Draft that I think would correct these issues and get the article up to GA quality standards. I realize it is difficult to compare the draft to the current version and I'm happy to go over it section by section or whatever way makes the most sense to any editors responding. I have also included some comments below about potential BLP issues in the draft that may be tough judgement calls and are worth bringing attention to.

Thanks for responding @ Timtempleton:. I think the article contains plenty of evidence of notability and is not at-risk of being deleted. Do you mind if we get a quick third opinion on using primary sources for a patents section? I think this would need to be addressed before I can nominate for GA.
I like your new combined section - I hadn't heard of VirusTotal until just now. A few nit-pick suggestions:
Those are just nit-picky items - feel free to take em or leave em. CorporateM ( Talk) 19:35, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
@ Timtempleton: Didn't get much participation at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard regarding the "Patents" section being cited to primary sources. Do you think we can at least do something with it so it's not a one-sentence section? I can't really nominate it for a GA review so long as there are tags and a section with just one sentence.

A very good article, with just a few changes; in fact, probably the least amount of changes I've ever suggested. Good work! On hold for seven days; cheers, Carbrera ( talk) 19:22, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

The New York Times recently did an in-depth profile on Eugene Kaspersky. For the most part it's very similar to what we have here and I merely used it to supplement pre-existing content or add small details. At the very bottom of the article it says "Photography is a favorite pastime of his, and he was thrilled when the magazine GQ Russia recently recommended his Instagram account as “enticing and not banal.” I was hoping for another editor's opinion on whether we should add his Instagram as an External Link. Typically we do not include social media profiles, unless the sources discuss them and I am not familiar with how much emphasis we expect in the source to justify an external link.
