AVID Technical Resources
Hi Btomasel, I have noticed that you have posted on the Wikipedia Help desk about making changes to Avid Technical Resources which you advise you are closely associated. Can I suggest before you edit further on this article you read Conflict of Interest which provides guidance on how you should restrict your editing where you have a close association with the topic of the article. Whilst I am sure your intentions are aimed at correcting errors in / improving the article you need to take an armslength approach to this by posting on the Talk Page making clear you are associated with the topic / company and drawing attention to other editors where improvments may be required rather than continuing to make edits directly yourself. You can do this by placing the following tag on the talk page. Hope this of helps Tmol42 (talk) 23:33, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I nowiki'd the request above until the originating editor is ready to place it themselves. If I erred, feel free to correct. --Lexein (talk) 03:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
