Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 10:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Dpbert. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 11:13, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Template Message

{{request edit}} I am Dimitri Bertsekas the subject of this article. This section relates to the following template

"A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page. (August 2019)"

that was added to this article nearly four months ago. I am not sure what prompted the template, perhaps a correction/addition of a book reference that I personally added, while not fully aware of your conflict of interest guidelines. However, the requested cleanup with a neutral point of view has not materialized after four months, likely because all the information in the article is correct and fully documented.

I would therefore like to request that the template be removed from this article.

Thank you for your attention,
