External Links - Please do not spam Wikipedia
The links you added in the articles Trade secret, Non-disclosure agreement ‎ and Scams in intellectual property violate at least one of the Wikipedia guidelines on external links. Under the heading "Links normally to be avoided", item 11 reads "Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority (this exception is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies)." Your citation to the blog ipwatch fails that criteria.

Also, item 4 in that section lists "Links mainly intended to promote a website. See External link spamming." Since all of your edits have added links to the same blog, the pattern indicates that you only are contributing content as a vehicle to cite the blog.

Finally, adding the words "US patent attorney" after your the author's name violates general citation rules and is pure and simply spam.

Your substantive contributions are welcome, but please do not continue to use Wikipedia to promote the blog.
