Speedy deletion nomination of Wood Mackenzie Limited
edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Wood Mackenzie Limited, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Darkness Shines (talk) 11:55, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Great. Thanks. Have you still got the wording I posted for the article, or would you like me to re-send it? Paul.rowllings (talk) 13:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- No don't bother, it will be easier to work from scratch. Darkness Shines (talk) 13:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hie, read WP:INDENT ;o) I have begun your article, it is currently in userspace. [3] Darkness Shines (talk) 20:13, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Done Wood Mackenzie I will continue to add to it over the next few days, this will cost you one pint, a packet of fags and some cheese and onion crisps :o) Darkness Shines (talk) 21:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. I've made a few suggested edits to the 1st section. Sir George Matthewson is no longer our chairman, and we have added coal and metals mining analysis to our energy business, through a few acquisitions over the past few years. I also added a leadership section. Hope these are OK. Also, would you be happy if I suggested some amends to the history section? Feel free to add a few more pints and packets crisps to my bill. Thanks. Paul.rowllings (talk) 09:02, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Paul.rowllings. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wood Mackenzie, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
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 following the 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. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your guidance. I've had a read through the information and feel the edits I've suggested conform to the spirit of wikipedia, and do not promote the company or its products. Paul.rowllings (talk) 16:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
