Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

AfC notification: User:Claudia Tomlinson/sandbox has a new comment[edit]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at User:Claudia Tomlinson/sandbox. Thanks! Eagleash (talk) 12:41, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Eagleash: Hello, I'm still getting used to Wikipedia so learning how to reply using talk, so hope I'm doing this correctly. Thank you for your comment and for reviewing my article on Richard Small (Lawyer). I am not related to him, i used 'my brother' in error copying and pasting from an interview I conducted, where he is talking about his brother. I have edited this out, and then noticed you had said not to edit until messaging here. I hope this clarifies the situation, and that the article can be approved for publication. Thanks very much.

Hello; OK, thanks for responding. It may seem pedantic but Wikipedia takes things like conflict of interest and copyright issues rather seriously. BTW, I did not get your 'ping' as the post was not signed. You need to add the ping, the message and the signature all in one edit or it doesn't work! You can sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce a timestamp and a signature. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 00:28, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021[edit]

Hello, I have partially reviewed and copy-edited the draft in respect of Richard Small. There were some anomalies in the content which gave the impression there may be a conflict of interest. Please review that linked page and make any necessary declarations. The use of the term 'my older brother' suggests a conflict of interest (personal knowledge of the subject) but 'I became' later on suggests it may be a mistaken re-write from a source. Whatever the situation please reply here to clarify before editing the page further. Please begin your reply with {{ping|Eagleash}} which will notify me of your response. Thank you. Please bear in mind that raising the question of a COI is not intended as a reflection upon an individual editor, but is just one of the ways in which Wikipedia tries to ensure neutrality. Happy editing. Eagleash (talk) 12:52, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
