In full disclosure, I made this edit earlier to this page as a paid editor, which updated outdated information and added information about the OSSF's current activities -- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Open_Source_Security_Foundation&diff=prev&oldid=1156569581. I believe all content I added was WP:NPOV but can someone else review it (perhaps @Graywalls) to ensure this is the case? Llightex (talk) 13:23, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
