User talk:Tljplslc

February 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created DynamoRIO, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Driopro", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. In addition, can you establish the notability of the DynamoRIO products, as relevant to the link that you've added to various articles? Thank you. Rwessel (talk) 00:06, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia's guidelines for creating usernames caution against using real names. Thus I created a unique name. The name was meant to establish credibility as an expert on the topic, not to promote it or represent any group. I'm not attached to the name so if you insist I will change it to a more random name.

Re: notability: there are 3 well-known dynamic instrumentation platforms for user space: Valgrind, Pin, and DynamoRIO. Look at the computer science papers that define Valgrind and Pin and you'll see that they take time to describe how those systems differ from their peer, DynamoRIO. E.g., see the comments about "Valgrind: A Framework for Heavyweight Dynamic Binary Instrumentation", or see the abstract for Pin's formative paper. Wikipedia had articles on only 2 of the 3 tools. My purpose in these edits is to rectify that situation and ensure Wikipedia's information on this space is complete.

OK, not a problem then. Although you can see how one might interpret your user name as implying such. You may care to review WP:Expert editors. BTW, I thought DynamoRIO was well done. I have reverted your addition of Dr. Memory to C (programming language), as I don't think that is an appropriate place for an extensive list of memory checking products, and the two listed are enough to sample the genre. And welcome to Wikipedia. Rwessel (talk) 06:40, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I went ahead and changed my username. Tljplslc (talk) 00:52, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
