Hello, I'm Karin, an employee of A10 Networks. I have a conflict of interest as a paid employee, but I would like to work with Wikipedia editors to make the A10 Networks article better. To follow Wikipedia's rules for those with a conflict of interest, I won't personally make edits to the article.
I am hoping to address the concerns indicated in the banner at the top. It is my understanding that the company website cannot be cited as a reference. Are there editors here that would remove some of the information that does not meet Wikipedia's standards for sourcing? Particularly, reference numbers 5, 12, 13, and 16-22. Let's discuss. Thanks!

Notes
Thank you for making these edits, @ Spintendo: and thank you, @ Mean as custard: for removing the technical banner. I checked the user contributions from @ Lemongirl942: and it looks like she has not edited since March 2017. If this editor is inactive, as it appears, is there another way to properly have this tag removed? I appreciate your feedback. Thank you KGatA10 ( talk) 17:10, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Karin, an employee of A10 Networks. I've previously written about my conflict of interest as a paid employee and desire to work with Wikipedia editors to make the A10 Networks article better. I won't personally make edits to the article to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines.
I have some text to add to the "History section" that I have placed below with references.
I am hoping editors will add the text upon reviewing. I'm open to discussion. Thanks! KGatA10 ( talk) 18:20, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

template, the wording of that particular template makes it especially difficult to remove in that it describes an article which contains content that has been added through contributions by individuals closely related to the company. In this case, that appears to be what has occurred. There is a great difference of opinion over whether this particular template ought to remain in articles after being placed or whether it should be removed after some amount of time. My default response is to leave the template to be removed by the editor who placed it. Unfortunately in this case, that editor has not edited since 2017.Regards, Spintendo 23:48, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Karin, an employee of A10 Networks. I have a conflict of interest as an employee of A10 Networks and will only post to talk pages, rather than make direct edits to the article or related articles.
I am resubmitting my request above that was partially implemented by User:Spintendo with a formatting correction. I am requesting to add new material to the "History section", which you may see below with a reference.
Will an editor please review this request? I am always open to discussion. Thanks!

Additional note: The Wagner source used with this claim and one additional claim was reclassified as a {{
cite press release}}
(but since returned to {{
cite web}}
) because a portion of the information (if not all of it) used to comprise the article originated from an interview with Paul Nicholson, A10's product marketing director. It's not known what other sources Wagner used to write their article. But since it was a report dealing with a newer development in the company's technology, it may be surmised that any information available from non-company sources would naturally be limited, thus necessitating additional input from the company itself. Since I cannot be sure what amount can be ascribed to which source, I've returned the template to {{
cite web}}
. Keeping abreast of where the information described by these sources is actually originating from is important in gauging whether the article is adhering to a
WP:NPOV.

Hello, Karin here with a new request to remove information from the introductory paragraph that is inaccurate and not supported by sourcing. As an employee of A10 Networks, I have a conflict of interest and will only post to talk pages, rather than make direct edits to the article or related articles. The first part of the following text is inaccurate, discussing products that no longer exist. The sourcing used to support the statement is from a small industry publication. According to an earlier discussion on this page, this type of publication may not be properly vetted and is, therefore, best to avoid to support statements. The second sentence is completely unsourced and should be removed.
Are there editors that will please review and implement this removal? As always, I welcome discussion. Thanks! KGatA10 ( talk) 23:05, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
... A10 originally serviced just the identity management market with its line of ID Series products...claim. The claim
In early 2007 they added bandwidth management appliances (EX Series)is the one that is unreferenced. Is that the one you'd like removed? Please advise. Regards, Spintendo 02:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Karin here again. I've uploaded the company's current logo at File:A10Networks logo 2019.jpeg. I'm hoping someone will update the infobox, which currently displays the old logo. Will an editor please review this request? Thanks! KGatA10 ( talk) 19:26, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Karin here again. Per my last request that was denied, I have updated the parameters of the image to include fields that I didn't include prior (apologies, I used the logo rationale supplied and didn't know that the other parameters were required). The file can be found at File:A10Networks logo 2019.jpeg. Will an editor please review this request and update the old logo in the infobox with this new logo? Thanks!
