I presume that you are User:The Economist Magazine who has set up an individual account. Welcome back.

I have done some tweaking of the article to add "wikilinks" and put references into a better form; but more are required. References are needed for two reasons:

The three references you added do not help with that. One shows that the law firm exists, but does not mention Mr Gifford; the other two do not mention him either, and are cross-references to Wikipedia, which I have replaced with wikilinks. What is needed is references that confirm what the article says, and provide the significant coverage of Mr Gifford required to establish notability.

I have removed two words (broad and renowned) which in Wikipedia terms are "peacock terms" - unsupported adjectives of praise. A Wikipedia article needs to preserve a neutral tone and should not read like a CV or appear to be "selling" its subject.

I have also added some WP:Categories at the end of the article. I am not sure whether I am right to have added Category:Colombian lawyers - if that should be Category:American lawyers, please correct it.

If you have any questions, you can ask them below here - I will watch this talk page. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:17, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
