 * Hey, @ARandomName123! Thanks for the suggested edits to the proposed page. I have added a substantial number of sources to the "History" section. Would you have a second to review the proposed changes and let me know if you think there are any other things I should edit/add?
 * Thanks for your help!
 * Best, Scropper (talk) 21:36, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Scropper: Sure, I'll take a look and give some feedback within a half hour or so. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 22:01, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The linked quad-city articles return 404 errors. Please correct the link, or provide the date of the article if it appeared in a physical newspaper. The offline news articles are fine, as we have access scanned copies. Once you have fixed that, feel free to ping me again. Thanks! ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 22:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for the help on this, and sorry about the links. All of them should work now. Scropper (talk) 22:33, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. imo, it's a bit borderline at this point, but if you can find a source similar to "Lane & Waterman's history is no legal brief," where it covers the firm as a whole, I'd be happy to accept. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 23:57, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @ARandomName123,
 * I found this article yesterday, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Lane_%26_Waterman, and have now added more references to the draft page. This article was published by the Quad City Times in 2004 during the firms 175th anniversary. Please let me know if you think another "general" article is needed beyond this new one and the "Lane & Waterman's history is no legal brief" article. Scropper (talk) 18:09, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

 * That looks fine, thanks!
 * I was initially a bit confused, since the article you linked above has the same title as another source in the article, but they're apparently different, even though they were published within a day of each other. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 18:28, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that significant portions of it are copied from the company website. Because that website is copyrighted, it is in violation of our copyight policy. You will need to rewrite it in your own words. I'm not sure how close the COI you declared on your userpage is, but if you aren't willing to do a rewrite, you can release the text on the website under a compatible copyright license instead. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 18:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I will go ahead and do a rewrite in my own words and let you know when it is done. Anything else beyond this that you feel stands in the way of publishing this page? Scropper (talk) 15:17, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Don't believe so. Once this rewrite is complete, I'll do a final check, and accept the page. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 15:20, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
