Talk:Law Society of Scotland

message: Details of an edit war on this site were published on Page 3 of today's Scotland on Sunday, which pointed out that one of the parties, , was from the Law Society itself. The critical material was not specifically sourced so I did not add it back, but I would still say that the edits by 217.30, which were made without any explanation or declaration of interest, were contrary to WP:COI.
I noticed a subsequent edit that deleted several links without explanation, so I attempted to revert this edit. The attempt was unsuccessful because one of these links was to a site which is (imo correctly) not accepted by Wikipedia. I then checked out the remaining links:
*Scotland Against Crooked Lawyers
Added this back. I don't think this is inappropriate, but if it is, then so is the linked page, which should be considered for deletion.
* The Scottish Legal Services Ombudsman
Completely harmless and wholly appropriate. Added it back.
* Injustice Scotland, a public campaign group
groups.msn.com is not accepted by Wikipedia, and I have no intention of challenging this policy.
* Scotland Against Crooked Lawyers, which aims to bring independent regulation to the legal profession in Scotland
Covered by above link. No need to duplicate.
* Scottish Consumer Council, Scotland's consumer protection body, which has conducted surveys into the workings of Scottish solicitors and the Law Society of Scotland
Low relevance; I was unable to find the surveys via this link. Not added back.

replies: text:  It would be interesting to know something more about the organization. I can't make out much from its website. There is question about its notability - how big is it? How significant? I'm not a Scots lawyer so I really don't know. Francis Davey (talk) 09:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
