User talk:Kbmeriam

Hello, Kbmeriam. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page multiple, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. O3000 (talk) 12:49, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. O3000 (talk) 17:30, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this is a conflict of interest. I have no relationship with any of the websites I link to. I've only just begun as a contributor to Wikipedia, and I've only found a handful of sites that accurately carry information about Artificial Intelligence and related topics.

 * All your additions, whether AI related or not, were to an unknown blog. ABTW, Business Insider is iffy and we avoid using primary sources like About Us pages. Please read WP:IRS to identify reliable sources for Wikipedia articles. I'll add a welcome section with more info. O3000 (talk) 12:58, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

I see. Yes, I did read the reliable sources and verifiability pages, and I made sure all those cited sites were not merely re-hashing content from another, more reliable source. In such cases, I usually link to the original research or company resource. In one case, it was Amazon's earnings report, if I'm not mistaken; another was Microsoft's help page. I don't know about Business Insider's reputation, to be honest, but the author of those articles in 1reddrop.com is a well-known and highly respected former contributor to Seeking Alpha, which is where I know of him. And he knows his AI and Cloud. That's why I know that his content is as bullet-proof as it gets when it comes to reliability. I don't link to original research, but the way; I'm aware of that rule. I just wanted to assure you that I'm not trying to promote anyone over anyone else, since that seems to be the key concern here. I am especially thankful for the welcome resource you've added below. I will go through everything in as detailed a manner as I can, but please bear with me, since I'm new here. Kbmeriam (talk) 17:00, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
