Welcome!

Hello, Stevebratt, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Steve Bratt, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Proposed updates to article on me - Steve Bratt

Thanks for offering to help update this out-of-date biography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bratt

The main reason for the inaccuracies in the current article is because I changed jobs 4 years ago. Though others created and updated the current article on me over the years, my most recent job transition has not been updated by anyone else in the past 4 years and thus would lead readers to the wrong impression. Here are 4 simple, suggested changes, with references where appropriate:



Change first 2 sentences from:

"Steven Richard Bratt (pronounced: 'braht') (born February 10, 1957) serves as Chief Technology Officer and President, Standards Development for GS1. He previously served as the founding Chief Executive Officer of the World Wide Web Foundation and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)."

TO

"Steven Richard Bratt (rhymes with 'Watt') (born February 10, 1957) has served as Leader of the MITRE Health Standards and Interoperability Group, Chief Technology Officer and President of Standards Development for GS1, Chief Executive Officer of the World Wide Web Foundation and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and in other science and technology positions."


Under the GS1 section, 3rd sentence, Change to make is past tense:

"Bratt is responsible"

TO

"Bratt was responsible"


Between the GS1 and Personal Information sections, add new section about current job (2 public references provided):

The MITRE Corporation

Bratt joined MITRE in 2017, serving as Leader of the Health Standards and Interoperability Group (external link - https://health.mitre.org/blog/steve-bratt/), and Program Manager for the Common Oncology Data Elements Extensions (CodeX) HL7 FHIR Accelerator (external link - https://www.hl7.org/codex/). CodeX is a multi-stakeholder community aiming to address the need to obtain high-quality, interoperable, computable data to improve cancer care and research.


Personal information section - Fixing bad web links and tense - Change

TO
