Talk:Kx Systems

Edit Request
I have a few suggestions for the Kx Systems wikipedia page:

-They no longer use the K programming language, just q, and they only sell kdb+ solutions (not kdb anymore)

-First Derivatives announced it will buy all of Kx Systems:

-They now sell a lot of products and solutions built on kdb+ Products include:

Financial: Kx For Algos Kx for AML Kx for Flow Kx for Monitoring Kx for Surveillance

Non-financial: Kx for Retail Kx for Telco Kx for Utilities Kx for Life Sciences Kx for Space Kx for Manufacturing Kx for Semiconductors Kx for Gaming Kx for Cyber Security Kx for Digital Marketing Kx Data Refinery

Enterprise Tools Analyst Control Stream Monitoring Dashboards

-Some other recent deals that may be of interest to this page outside of finance are:

Kx partnered with Anaconda to build a Python integration:

Your edit request could not be reviewed due to the following reasons.
 * 1) The provided references are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the KX Systems 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.)
 * 2) The suggested text is not worded verbatim to how it should look in the article. The text that is requested to be added needs to be written just as how it should appear in the article. The COI editor ought to make suggestions for how the finished text is to be written in the article, by placing verbatim sections of prose in the request.
 * 3) The COI editor has not made the required disclosures with regards to the nature of their COI.

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:

Plain reference style formatting & edit suggestions: -The Sun's diameter is not 25 miles, it's actually a lot larger. -The Moon's diameter is also wrong and that needs to be fixed. -Sun's temperature actually much hotter at 5,778 degrees Kelvin.

Displays as: -The Sun's diameter is not 25 miles, it's actually a lot larger.[1] -The Moon's diameter is also wrong and that needs to be fixed.[2] -Sun's temperature actually much hotter at 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 Kx Systems article. Also, the changes that are requested to be made are not verbatim descriptions of the text that is going to be placed into the article. Instead, the COI editor has given directions on what needs to be said in the article, with the expectation that the reviewer will place this information in the appropriate prose for the article. This is generally not how COI edit requests work. A typical, properly formatted request would look like the following:

CS1 formatting & verbatim edit proposals: The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 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 864,337.3 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. Also, the proposed information is worded verbatim to how it should appear in the article. 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.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above. Also make sure to fill out a connected contributor template at the top of the article's talk page indicating who you work for and whether or not this work has you getting paid. Feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor.
