Hello Shoreditch90. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Olswang, 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. Mtking ^(edits) 09:21, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Olswang. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks for your greeting message! I am new to Wikipedia (and HTML!) and will take the time to familiarise myself with the policies and guidelines for contributors. I intend to be a contributor in the legal sector because I believe I have knowledge that could improve the referencing of articles relating to the UK top 200 law firms. I have only just started to add pages to my watchlist. I am sorry if I deleted these tags by mistake. I started the discussion around the notability of this page on the article talk page because I have added references from The Lawyer to improve the notability of the article. I thought perhaps you could guide me on how to improve the secondary referencing and let me know what's missing for the tag to be removed? Does it need more references? Different references? Let me know if I need to continue the discussion on the subject page as opposed to my page. Many thanks, Shoreditch90 11:48, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
