 * The account represents DARPA, which is a U.S. government agency. My goal is to expand the amount of objective information about DARPA that's available on Wikipedia by providing references to publicly available government records, memos, interviews, articles, and other independent news sources. None of the edits are intended to be promotional or otherwise problematic. If it would be better to modify the username to be specific to a single individual with the authority to speak for the agency, we'd be happy to accommodate that.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to DARPA, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Saku ura Cart elet  Talk 20:51, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi! My apologies - I considered it "minor" because I was deleting duplicated information. On that article in particular, I moved projects that aren't currently active into a section titled "past projects," but overlooked removing them from the "active projects" list. Will avoid in the future!
