COI Edit request 25, March, 2024
Part of an edit requested by an editor with a
conflict of interest has been implemented.
What I think should be changed: Biometric fingerprint to Biometric identification tools
Hi @
Encoded Please can you change 'biometric fingerprint technology' to Biometric identification technology' in the following paragraphs:
Paragraph 1
Overview box > Products
---------------------------
Also, I wanted to ask for some advice please...
I would like to update the Article for the company I work for - Simprints - as it is very out of date and there have been many developments that readers would find interesting and beneficial that are currently not included on the page.
I tried to make all the changes under the Username Simprints, which I didn't realise wasn't allowed and I also didn't know that I needed to declare COI and that I was updating the pages as part of my job (therefore paid to do so). This was my mistake and I appreciate the chance to learn how to use Wikipedia correctly. Thanks for your patience and help!
I'm now submitting each edit needed as an Edit request, but this could take some time. Is there any way that someone could revert back to the changes I made a few weeks ago, once anything that is not inappropriate is removed? I'm happy to consult with you on each section of updates needed.
I would be so grateful for your steer on this. Once the page is up to date, it will be a valuable resource to people who are interested in the topic of Biometrics and impactful not for profit organisations.
Hi @
Sima Bodalikar, I've updated the sections of the article for you. I've just had a look at the
page history and it looks like the edits have already been reverted by Sadads (see where it says "Tags: Reverted"). If there's any I've missed please let me know.
Thank you so much! I'll have a look now. There were quite a few updates needed as the page was so outdated. If you could help revert back to the changes I made in March, that would be great.

This
edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Can you add the below heading and paragraph to appear after Paragraph 2:
Published literature
In May 2023, Simprints launched the ‘Responsible Biometric Deployment Handbook’, funded by IBM. The project was supported with a grant from the Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab, the applied arm of the Notre Dame Technology Ethics Center. The guide provides tools to explore the ethical and secure adoption of biometric technology in frontline humanitarian and development settings.
Please add the below paragraph to appear after the Harvard Business School paragraph:
Simprints Open Source
At the end of 2023, Simprints made its Android application available on GitHhub, making it one of the world’s first fully open-source biometric ID solutions for last-mile delivery with advanced privacy engineering.
Round 7 Saving Lives at Birth Transition to Scale grant for $2 million to scale up Simprints’ partnership with BRAC’s maternal health program to reach 2 million expectant mothers and children in Bangladesh.
Thank you so much, Encoded! Please let me know if you have any queries on any of the updates. I also appreciate that these may take some time to get through. Any help you can give is very much appreciate.
Hi, I'm just working on some uni coursework atm and am unable to review right now so I've tagged this section as an edit request, if nobody else is able to help before I'm back I'm happy to review. Thanks, EncodedTalk 💬17:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Hi @
Encoded, thank you for tagging as an Edit Request. I appreciate there is a lot to get through! Atb with your studies.
Simprints Open Source - Done, but added in history section instead, I don't think adding it after Harvard business school paragraph in published literature is the right place.
Remote sentence - Done as requested
"reached 2 million people" - Not done for now, I feel like more context is needed for this, what exactly is meant by "reached", is it 2 million users or 2 million biometric scans, etc?
Awards - Done as requested.
Affiliations - Not done for now, are there any references you could provide for this list?
Thank you so much we are almost there! I think these updates got missed along the way, unless you need more information to make them... Please let me know.

What I think should be changed (include citations):
In the Intro section, change:
technology for use by governments, NGOs, and nonprofits for people in the developing world to:
and contactless face scanning solutions to be used by governments, NGOs, and nonprofit organisations serving people in low- and middle-income countries
What I think should be changed (include citations):
Add a section after the Introduction section as follows:
Published Literature
In May 2023, Simprints launched ‘A Responsible Biometric Deployment Handbook’[1], funded by
IBM. The project was supported with a grant from the Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab, the applied arm of the Notre Dame Technology Ethics Center. The guide provides tools to explore the ethical and secure adoption of biometric technology in frontline humanitarian and development settings.
In October 2023, Simprints was featured in a
Harvard Business School Case Study entitled ‘Toby Norman: Is passion enough for Simprints to thrive?[2]’. The case, written by Professor Jon Jachimowicz, is an in-depth look at the Simprints story and has become part of the core curriculum for all first-year Business students in the LEAD programme at Harvard.
Why it should be changed: To update the profile

Hi @
Sima Bodalikar -- apologies for not responding sooner, but I am not very active at the moment -- it just was very clear to me that your edits were good faith but misunderstanding our policy. Unfortunately, I am going to have to differ to the folks that normally work on COI requests, I simply don't have the energy at the moment.
