Disclosing COI[edit]

I, the author of the initial draft of this page, have a COI: CrowdStrike is a client of mine. I'm happy to help with any feedback about how to ensure this article has NPOV and encyclopedic value. I want to ensure I am transparent throughout the process of getting this article reviewed for a move to mainspace. Many thanks. Mary Gaulke (talk) 19:43, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 21 February 2018[edit]

George Kurtz 2 → George Kurtz – No idea where the '2' in the title came from, for some reason I can't move the page. L293D (☎ • ✎) 15:08, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved as requested. There were multiple drafts (#1 was declined), which is why the 2 ended up there. Dekimasuよ! 19:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

COI edit requests[edit]

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

Hi! As noted above, I'm a COI editor for CrowdStrike. Requesting some updates to this article:

In infobox, updating "Occupation" from "President and CEO" to "Co-founder, President and CEO" (per article body).
In first sentence of "CrowdStrike" section, update "executive in residence" to "entrepreneur in residence".^[1]^[2]
In second paragraph of "CrowdStrike" section, update "focuses on" (in "The company also focuses on a 'cloud-first' model") to "developed", which better reflects the source and timeframe.
At end of "CrowdStrike" section, adding: "In 2019, CrowdStrike's $612 million initial public offering on the Nasdaq brought the company to a $6.6 billion valuation under Kurtz's leadership.^[3]^[4] In July 2020, an IDC report named CrowdStrike as the fastest-growing endpoint security software vendor.^[5]"
In "Personal life", replacing "Audi R8 LMS GT4" with "Mercedes-AMG GT3^[6]".

Thank you for your time, your feedback, and your assistance. Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I have implemented most of the requested edits, except for the infobox. Adding co-founder (which is not an occupation, in comparison to President and CEO) sounds like self promotion, per WP:PROMO. Ferkijel (talk) 14:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
