Some proposed changes
The Consortium for Information & Software Quality (CISQ) is an IT industry group comprising IT executives from the Global 2000, systems integrators, outsourced service providers, and software technology vendors committed to making improvements in the quality of IT application software

The mission of CISQ is to develop international standards to automate software quality measurement and to promote the development and sustainment of secure, reliable, and trustworthy software. Through the work of CISQ, standards have been developed to measure software size, structural quality , and technical debt from source code.

Overview
Jointly organized by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University and the Object Management Group (OMG), CISQ is designed to be a neutral forum in which customers and suppliers of IT application software can develop an industry-wide agenda of actions for defining, measuring, and improving IT software quality.

Software measurement standards are being developed by CISQ to help provide a foundation for focusing attention, setting quality targets, providing visibility, and tracking improvement progress. By using violations of good architectural and coding practice as the basis for software quality measurement, development teams can learn from the results and avoid whole classes of weaknesses in future development.

History
CISQ was launched in August 2009 by 24 founders including SEI and OMG. The founders of CISQ are Paul D. Nielsen, Director and CEO of SEI and Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO of OMG. Bill Curtis, the co-author of the CMM framework is CISQ's first Director. Software measurement and productivity expert Capers Jones is a CISQ Distinguished Advisor.

In September 2012, CISQ published its standard measures for evaluating and benchmarking the reliability, security, performance efficiency, and maintainability of IT software.

In January 2013, OMG adopted Automated Function Point specifications.

In May 2013 CISQ reached 500 members.

In December 2013, WIPRO become the fourth major sponsor to join the list of industry participants investing in the completion and adoption of CISQ standards in the IT industry.

In October 2015, OMG adopted Automated Source Code Quality Measure specifications.

In October 2016, OMG adopted the Automated Enhancement Point specification. In January 2018, OMG adopted the Technical Debt specification.

In November 2018, CISQ published the Trustworthy Systems Manifesto.

In April 2019, CISQ updated its Automated Source Code Quality Measures with embedded extensions.

In May 2019, ISO/IEC approved OMG standard for Automated Function Points as ISO 19515:2019.

 * Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the CISQ article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Bare URL reference formatting: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

References

1. 2.  3.

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the CISQ article. Using this style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin. Displays as: The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

The Consortium for Information & Software Quality (CISQ) is an IT industry group comprising IT executives from the Global 2000, systems integrators, outsourced service providers, and software technology vendors committed to making improvements in the quality of IT application software The mission of CISQ is to develop international standards to automate software quality measurement and to promote the development and sustainment of secure, reliable, and trustworthy software. Through the work of CISQ, standards have been developed to measure software size, structural quality , and technical debt from source code.

Overview
Jointly organized by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University and the Object Management Group (OMG), CISQ is designed to be a neutral forum in which customers and suppliers of IT application software can develop an industry-wide agenda of actions for defining, measuring, and improving IT software quality. Software measurement standards are being developed by CISQ to help provide a foundation for focusing attention, setting quality targets, providing visibility, and tracking improvement progress. By using violations of good architectural and coding practice as the basis for software quality measurement, development teams can learn from the results and avoid whole classes of weaknesses in future development.

History
CISQ was launched in August 2009 by 24 founders including SEI and OMG. The founders of CISQ are Paul D. Nielsen, Director and CEO of SEI and Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO of OMG. Bill Curtis, the co-author of the CMM framework is CISQ's first Director. Software measurement and productivity expert Capers Jones is a CISQ Distinguished Advisor.

I had previously used the format of Information to be added or removed, Explanation of issue, References supporting change. I hope this extra detail provides rationale the information I am adding. The information is non-controversial.

I am also adding the Connected Contributor (paid) template.

Please note that Object Management Group (OMG) is a not-for-profit IT standards development organization that manages the Consortium for Information & Software Quality (CISQ). Essentially, OMG and CISQ are the same entity.

Thank you! Tracie

The Consortium for Information & Software Quality (CISQ) is an IT industry group comprising IT executives from the Global 2000, systems integrators, outsourced service providers, and software technology vendors committed to making improvements in the quality of IT application software

The mission of CISQ is to develop international standards to automate software quality measurement and to promote the development and sustainment of secure, reliable, and trustworthy software. Through the work of CISQ, standards have been developed to measure software size, structural quality , and technical debt from source code.

Jointly organized by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University and the Object Management Group (OMG), CISQ is designed to be a neutral forum in which customers and suppliers of IT application software can develop an industry-wide agenda of actions for defining, measuring, and improving IT software quality.

Software measurement standards are being developed by CISQ to help provide a foundation for focusing attention, setting quality targets, providing visibility, and tracking improvement progress. By using violations of good architectural and coding practice as the basis for software quality measurement, development teams can learn from the results and avoid whole classes of weaknesses in future development.

CISQ was launched in August 2009 by 24 founders including SEI and OMG. The founders of CISQ are Paul D. Nielsen, Director and CEO of SEI and Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO of OMG. Bill Curtis, the co-author of the CMM framework is CISQ's first Director. Software measurement and productivity expert Capers Jones is a CISQ Distinguished Advisor. In September 2012, CISQ published its standard measures for evaluating and benchmarking the reliability, security, performance efficiency, and maintainability of IT software.

In January 2013, OMG adopted Automated Function Point specifications.

In May 2013 CISQ reached 500 members.

In December 2013, WIPRO become the fourth major sponsor to join the list of industry participants investing in the completion and adoption of CISQ standards in the IT industry.

In October 2015, OMG adopted Automated Source Code Quality Measure specifications.

In October 2016, OMG adopted the Automated Enhancement Point specification.

In January 2018, OMG adopted the Technical Debt specification.

In November 2018, CISQ published the Trustworthy Systems Manifesto.

In April 2019, CISQ updated its Automated Source Code Quality Measures with embedded extensions.

In May 2019, ISO/IEC approved OMG standard for Automated Function Points as ISO 19515:2019.

 * Thank you Tracie for your work reformatting the request, it is much appreciated.
 * I previously stated that this last bit of formatting was all that was needed for the review to take place. Indeed, the review has now occurred; during that review, it was discovered that text from within the proposal was insufficiently paraphrased from the source material.
 * Rest assured, this doesn't mean that the information won't be added — rather — it only means that the proposed text needs to be re-written.
 * I understand that it can be frustrating carrying out all of this work, only to be told that additional work must then be performed. However, all text which is proposed for use in Wikipedia must be written using an editor's own words and phrases, per WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE.
 * To that end, it is suggested that you rewrite the passages from the proposal which use cut and pasted text from the sources, so that only passages which are placed using your own words and phrases are included with the request. The information from the sources may still be used — but the way that information is presented here needs to be done in an original way — different from how the source authors worded and phrased it.
 * You've indicated that there are incorrect items now in the article that certain parts of this text is meant to correct. Not wanting the article to go on listing any outright incorrect information while waiting for the re-write, please let me know if any items need to be changed immediately, and I will be happy to do so. Until then, I look forward to reviewing the properly paraphrased request which you may submit here at your earliest convenience.

Edit request
Hi Spintendo, for now, can we please re-name "Consortium for IT Software Quality" to "Consortium for Information and Software Quality"? Thank you. Is it possible to identify the areas of the article that are too closely written to the cited source? TracieB1283 (talk) 23:40, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi per WP:NAMECHANGES, I need to see sources which use the newer name. Please advise.
 * This link will provide you with a list of texts from your recent proposals here on the talk page which were insufficiently paraphrased from the source material.
 * When ready to proceed with the name change references, kindly switch the  template's answer parameter to read from yes to no. Thank you!
