Navigation templates
Please do not add non-existent articles to navigation templates, as you did [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ADigital_forensics&diff=550270572&oldid=546419680 here]. I have reverted your change. Also, when adding names to such templates, be sure the new person you add is the person you mean to add. You inadvertently added the article about a children's author. I reverted that change as well. The template is back to the state it was in before your edits. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  18:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest editing
I noticed that most of your contributions to existing articles and to templates have involved inserting names, publications, or companies that appear to be you or someone close to you personally or professionally. Wikipedia strongly discourages such conflict of interest editing except on discussion pages and draft-article pages submitted through the WP:Articles for creation process, as you are doing with Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Advanced Data Acquisition Model (ADAM): A Process Model for Digital Forensic Practice. In the future, if you need to add material to an existing article or template in a way that is or appears to be a conflict of interest, please propose the change on the article or template's talk page. If it appears that nobody is reading that talk page and more than a week passes, consider writing a note on the talk page of a related WikiProject. Related WikiProjects are typically listed at the top of an article's talk page. I have reverted your edits to Digital forensic process and Computer forensics and invited editors who do not have a conflict of interest to restore them if they think doing so would improve these articles. I have also put a message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing asking for experts to review your changes for possible restoration to these articles. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  19:39, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Reply to Conflict of interest editing
Thank you for your comments. I understand that you are responsible for upholding the standard of submissions/changes. However,I am not sure of the reasoning behind the conflict of interest comments. My understanding is that the pages should be as accurate as possible based on contributions from knowledgeable people with regard to the particular subject matter. I am a university professor with a PhD in computer forensics so I would hope to know what I am talking about. My PhD thesis itself focused on the forensic collection of data and it is this area of the various pages that I have made some minor adjustment. The literature review of my thesis covered all process models to date and therefore would also be a good reference for researchers/students looking into this area. It surprises me that you deem it a conflict of interest that I have referenced leading researchers in this field - who better to reference and what "experts" are you considering asking to review the pages? By the way, I don't know any of the experts I reference either personally or professionally - they just happen to be some of the leaders in their field. If I had more time I would also be inclined to make more significant changes to several of the areas as they still contain significant errors or are out of date. Frankly, I am disappointed at the standard of the computer forensic/digital forensic entries (which should actually be one entry) given the number of contributors and the number of edits.

 * It was the addition of links to books or material which looked like it might be written by you that got my attention. It stood out as self-promotional, even if that was not your intent.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  04:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I take your point, but it is a bit difficult if you are an authority in a particular area not to reference yourself - I could change the references to somebody else but they would not be as recent. I note I also made the mistake of putting links in to pages that hadn't been accepted yet - my error. You will see that the book referenced is the latest on this topic (and I know about it because I wrote one of the chapters but I can't escape that :-) The page on my model is almost a direct extract from my thesis that has already been peer reviewed by experts in the field and has been downloaded 90 times in the past week so thought that it was suitable for a Wiki referenceForensicRA (talk) 05:44, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Did your thesis get published (i.e. in a journal)? Looking through, your literature review could be of use :) However, in terms of your newly described forensice process, I'd suggest it needs to be picked & discussed up by other researchers before it's significant enough to cover in any detail. --Errant (chat!) 14:51, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Researcher comments -

"The candidate offers a highly relevant and significant contribution to knowledge." - A/Prof. Armstrong, Curtin University "It is clear the model has real-life practical application with the community, which is a significant contribution in comparison to the many previously published models that remain within academia." - A/Prof Clarke, Plymouth University "This research is a significant addition to the literature of digital forensics(DF)." - A/Prof Kessler, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University ForensicRA (talk) 03:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
