Barracuda Networks

Hi MBAB. I work for Barracuda Networks. I disclosed a COI and requested some re-organizing of the page here, pursuant to WP:COI, about a month ago. I saw you were one of the top contributors to the Barracuda Networks page (according to the page statistics). I was hoping you might be willing to join me on the Barracuda Networks Talk page and review the proposed changes. Let me know if you're up for it. Best regards.

Neal Mohan followup question

Hi, hope you're doing well, MBAB. Thanks for all your help reviewing my requests for Neal Mohan's article. Did you see my reply to your note on the most recent request? I saw that you'd removed the Personal life section and also the mention of Mr. Mohan's wife from the infobox, and I'm wondering if it would be ok to add those back with better sourcing? I've left a suggestion, if you have any time to review. Thanks! Kat for YouTube (talk) 16:55, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the Optimove logo update

Thanks for handling the logo request at Talk:Optimove. If you have time at some point, there are a few other small sourced requests there, but no pressure at all, and any outcome is fine. RONYVEX (talk) 13:11, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to follow up on my COI edit request at Talk:Earl MacDonald. I’ve added the second source for the DVD entry you flagged. When you have a moment, I’d be grateful if you could take another look. Thanks for your help. ~~~~ Earlmacdon (talk) 11:39, 31 October 2026 (UTC)
