Ok, so it's a belated welcome. Great job on the ~~Risk Management Information Systems - RMIS~~ article you just added. You may want to delete the misspelled version of the article ~~(Risk Management Information Systems - RIMS~~) - or I can tag it for deletion for you. Just let me know if I can help!

FYI, page moved to Risk Management Information Systems, and I've requested deletion for the mis-spelled version of the redirect. JubalHarshaw 19:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Always glad to help! JubalHarshaw 16:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dennis Duffy

A tag has been placed on Dennis Duffy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. _JD^talk 09:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Topiary Communications

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
and you must always:
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked indefinitely without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you. -- Ronz 04:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. [1] --Ronz 19:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

I've started a report here. Please consider responding there. --Ronz 18:51, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan, I'm a sysop who checked out Ronz's report at the noticeboard. His concerns are right on target. I recommend you post suggested edits to article talk pages instead of directly to articles where a conflict of interest could create the appearance of impropriety. You probably mean well, but your editing practices aren't in accordance with Wikipedia site standards. Have a look at the what Wikipedia is not policy and the neutral point of view policy, also the linking guideline and the single-purpose account guideline in addition to the conflict of interest guideline he already mentioned. I don't see an improvement after several friendly warnings, which leaves the unwelcome alternative of page protections and user blocks if problems continue.

May 2018

Hello. Your recent edit to Brother Rice High School (Chicago) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Risk management information systems

The article Risk management information systems has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Literally no references, and all the terms are dated (it seams the article hasn't been touched much since 2008) and much better covered elsewhere on wiki

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
