Help with article?
Hi Lotje,

I'm Ed Sussman. I noticed some time ago you made some improvements to the article on Vulnerability (computing, so I thought you might have an interest in the topic.

I work with AlienVault, one of the biggest cyber security companies. We're hoping to do some updates to the article but under Wikipedia policy, I can't make direct edits on the article because it's a conflict. So I suggested them on the Talk page and I wonder if you might be willing to take a look to review (and approve, modify or reject): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:AlienVault&action=edit&section=3

Thanks for considering this request.

Best,

 * Hi. I noticed you made an edit on AlienVault. Thanks for checking it out. Do you think later on you'll also be able to review the new edits I requested at the bottom of Talk:AlienVault? I'm wondering because otherwise I need to keep reaching out to editors who might have an interest, and that's very time consuming. If you plan to circle back to the story, I won't keep looking.

Thanks,
