Hello, Easchroeder. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about in the page
Romesh Wadhwani, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{ request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. SuperGoose007 (Honk!) 23:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at
Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible
conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you.

Not sure how to respond to the alert but here's the deal:
The page for Romesh Wadhwani (the founder and chairman of SAI Group) is wildly out of date. This is coming up this week because the Wadhwani Foundation announced an initiative so people are looking him up on Wikipedia and it incorrectly cites his current role as head of STG. He left STG in 2017.
The page is also missing info about the Padma Shri (awarded Feb 2020) and a bunch of other items. I'm happy to provide external citations for each needed change. I don't know how to get the information updated so would love some help in that. As far as I can tell I'm supposed to post here?
I'll also comment specifically on the below:
>>Contributions show that the editor has been only active on the article. The editor removed information from the article for "security concerns", giving me the impression that the editor might be working for the Wadhwani family. SuperGoose007 (Honk!) 23:26, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
>>> My main concern is getting Romesh's info up to date. I do not work for "the Wadhwani Family." I work for SymphonyAI Group.
>> @SuperGoose007: agree about the likely COI. The edior summarised removal "at child's request". I'd agree with this if this would be about welfare of a minor, e.g. WP:CHILD. However, the subject's daughter is an adult and details of her wedding are widely published, including wedding glamour pics, etc. A sentence about his daughter in this respect are not undue. The editor has been warned correctly. Let's see how they respond. Some of the edits need clean up.pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 23:42, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
>>> Patrick (Melina's husband) works at SAI. They do want their mention removed from Romesh's bio. I did not say welfare--I said security concern.
