Scott Alldridge
Comment: I, the creator of this AfC draft, have made a full COI declaration in Draft talk:Scott Alldridge and on my user page. I am an employee at IP Services and would like to declare my conflict of interest. My employer, Scott Alldridge, the CEO of IP Services, has paid me to submit a Wikipedia draft. In the past, the article was improperly submitted due to the lack of proper COI disclosure done by another person who did not inform us about Wikipedia's disclosure requirements. This time, I am now intending to abide by all Wikipedia policies and use proper conflict of interest disclosures. I am submitting a revised draft that is much less promotional.
