We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Pro Tools, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

@I dream of horses:
Hello, I would like to contribute to the Pro Tools wiki page by giving credit to some of the people who worked on the development of the system. For example, Peter Richert solely created the original versions of the Digidesign Audio Engine (DAE) and it would be nice to credit him for his work. I was a software developer at Digidesign (later to merge with Avid) at the time and know first hand what Peter developed. FWIW, my involvement is documented by the founders of the company (Peter Gotcher and Evan Brooks) in various web based citations. There are other individual who should be called out for their contribution, but Peter would be a great place to start. While I have a conflict of interest regarding my writing about my contributions to Pro Tools, I think I should be considered authoritative regarding other contributors. Please advise. thank you.

@MarkRJeffery You should declare your conflict of interest on your user page. Also, instead of directly editing articles you have a conflict of interest with, use {{request edit}} on their talk pages. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 00:53, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
