Robert Khuzami

Your recent edits to this page -- which seems to be about you, given your edit history of ONLY having ever made edits to this page and the level of detail involved in your edits -- you need to be aware that Wikipedia is not a web host for a resume or a publicity page for you or the SEC. The section on major cases is essemtially a directory and as such, not in line with WP:NOTDIR. A short list of the cases, written in prose is appropriate, perhaps listing four or five or six major cases is sufficient for a Wikipedia article. What was there, however, was way, way too much and treaded on conflict of interest, given the fact that it looks like you are Khuzami. Marrante (talk) 08:18, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not Khuzami. I am a former federal prosecutor and currently a securities litigator interested in the work of the Enforcement Division. These entries are objective and not one-sided.Formerausa (talk) 16:07, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[I have moved your reply to where it should be, according to its time stamp.] My reason for deleting the section was that it is about the SEC, not about Khuzami. What you're doing now is the right way to put this information on Wikipedia. It can then become a link to the Khuzami page or be listed in a "see also" section at the bottom of the article. My comment was not that the information was one-sided, but that it was in the wrong article. What I said about conflict of interest was simply a comment on the appearance of things. Your first edit was in 2010 and until you began this new article, you had only edited the Khuzami page, except for a single edit to the article on the SEC. Most editors who have only edited one article have made just a few edits and generally on a single day, so your contribution history stands out and looks very much like someone editing his own WP article. Most frequent editors have areas of interest or expertise, but few edit just ONE article. Marrante (talk) 06:34, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Imbalance query

I've worked over recent years to bolster the SEC and related commissioner articles some. But I've had to weigh in against the edits as they're accumulating, maybe all from you, on recent enforcement actions. I hope maybe you can respond there, as other editors may. Cheers. 08:12

I see now above you had a proposal to create a free-standing article with this material declined. Without delving into that proposal-process myself, I still see a problem with the material in the SEC article. Too much detail. Lists in general are often discouraged in Wiki, as I think you'll find here. There's plenty of positive list discussion here but the introductory line -- "Presenting too much statistical data in list format may contravene policy" -- probably summarizes where I'm trying to draw the line. I'm not ready to propose a wholesale rollback but it may come to that. All best. Swliv (talk) 08:28, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point and will combine these cases (which represent only the significant SEC actions in 2009-2012) in some fashion to make it consistent with the policy. This may take a little time to do properly so please bear with me. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Formerausa (talk • contribs) 17:31, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Responded there. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 00:38, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
