Computer security and coruscan.com

Hi, AlexCypher. I reverted your recent edit of the computer security article, because it appears to be promotion of a pretty obscure website (and therefore of little citation value).

But looking more closely at your edit history, it looks like this is the second time that you've attempted to inject a link to this specific site into Computer security, and that of your three total substantial edit sets on the English Wikipedia, two of them had this purpose.

Also, looking at the Wayback Machine history for that site, it appears that the site first appeared on the Internet around the same time that you first linked to it.

It also appears that user RickyGilb's only edits have been to add links to coruscan.com on other security-related pages. I've removed those links as well, on cyber self-defense and security awareness.

My concern is that there may be a WP:APPARENTCOI issue here. What is your relationship with User:RickyGilb and with coruscan.com? Royce (talk) 17:44, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
