WP:COI edit

  Hello, Jasecbruce. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Ahunt (talk) 16:19, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for February 24 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles (Nish) Bruce QGM, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Mirror (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dear Chetsford, Thank you for your time reviewing this draft. Following your advice, I have made changes to our content. Below I have provided my justifications;

WP:CORPDEPTH / WP:ROUTINE • The references included now are, in my opinion, not passing references. The CNN article you referred to in your comments is an article specifically on the firm's client and has quoted their statement on his behalf. I would not class that as a “passing reference” as the article focuses around the statement and that of the police. • I have reviewed the other references and eliminated those that are trivial.

WD: PUFFERY • Thank you for this. I have simplified the text and removed majority of the “peacock terms” to ensure the article come across in a more objective manner. • I have reduced the ‘Industry Awards’ section.

Golden Rule 1. Significant coverage: a. the directory listings included in the ‘Legal Rankings’ section includes links to Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners guides – these are fully independent and highly regarded legal recommendations and rankings and therefore of significant note – they cannot be compared to the inclusion in lists such as “best of” or “top 100”. b. The abundant list of reputable media outlet’s articles either includes a quote from one of the firm's solicitors, on an issue or type of case that they are known for, or is on one of their clients and includes their actions.

2. Reliable sources: a. As above, the media outlets are reputable and reliable, and the legal directories (Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners) are the authority on firm rankings. They spend about 9 months per year researching, interviewing and fact checking before publishing their guides. b. Bailii reported cases are written independently and open to the public in a legal database, reporting on the facts of the case.

3. Independent sources: a. Majority of the links used are third party. Those that are linked back to our website are below. I have included the footnote number for your reference:

8. Mentioning our Investors in People Gold Accreditation Award 10 & 11. Links to our Areas of Law and offices to avoid listing 13. Our in-house diversity report 61. in depth article on work 118 & 121. commentary on pro bono work 8 & 123. Links to our “in the press” section – including the media coverage.

These are largely reports or commentary on work undertaken, keeping to the facts and not heavily bias.

If I have interpreted your guidance incorrectly I invite your opinions and instructions.

Thank you for your assistance
