User talk:Thartley24

Welcome!

Hello, Thartley24, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Anderson Strathern, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Captain Conundrum (talk) 08:53, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Anderson Strathern


A tag has been placed on Anderson Strathern, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Captain Conundrum (talk) 08:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

New article
Hi, You must  remove all  the external  links except the one to  company.

Refs:
 * http://www.journalonline.co.uk/News/1009792.aspx#.UaNraOtMbLY is just a routine piece of news so  as a source it  does not  confer notability
 * http://www.europeanlawyers.org/ is a listing with news snippets as above.
 * http://rankings.ft.com/innovativelawyers/climate-change-and-sustainability-2010 does not add to  notability
 * http://www.chambersandpartners.com/UK/Firms/6112-38909 same again
 * http://www.legal500.com/firms/101-anderson-strathern/offices/4518-edinburgh/profile another listing/profile
 * http://www.thelawyer.com/home/the-lawyer-management/anderson-strathern-awarded-worlds-highest-accreditation-for-information-protection-and-security/3003804.article content/info provided by  Anderson Strathern, hence practically  a primary  source

To qualify for notability, the article needs several,  substantial  references to  dedicated, independent  sources such  as the quality  press, which  demonstrate that  the firm  has done some extraordinarily  remarkable things. Law firm articles are among the most  difficult  to  get  approval  for. I would like to  to  see you  get  a second opinion  on  this article because as it  still  stands, I  don't  think  it  would survive an WP:AfD and there is a risk it  would get listed for discussion  if you  moved it now.

Orphaned non-free media (File:500px-anderson-strathern-logo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:500px-anderson-strathern-logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 09:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
