Back in early June I helped create this article and I am now looking for help with three small updates here. My work on the article was on behalf of Guide and for that reason I only edited the draft in my user space. (You can see where I've added myself as a connected contributor above.) Now that the article has been moved live, with the help of an independent editor, I'd like to avoid making any edits to the article myself due to my COI.
1. First, I mistakenly left out that Freddie worked for his father's company, Laker Airways, early in his career. I've highlighted the change that should be made to the first paragraph of the Early career section. This information is supported by the current reference so all that needs to be updated is the text:
2. It was brought to my attention that Freddie Laker is not the sole founder of the Society of Digital Agencies, though you'll see that the AdAge source I've used in the Other roles section only mentions Freddie as a founder. However, from looking at the Society of Digital Agencies website it appears that there were actually 13 co-founders. I'd like to suggest replacing "the founder" with "a co-founder" in this section if other editors think that change is OK, even though I don't have a source that clearly states he is one of several founders.
3. When you search " Freddie Laker" on Wikipedia you are directed to his father's article. I'd like to add a hat note to that article, if possible. I've put together the following hat note and markup for an editor to add if it looks ok.
Thanks in advance for reviewing these. If you have any questions please ask: I have this page on my watchlist and will reply to you here. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon ( Talk · COI) 16:10, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

was invoked but never defined (see the
help page).The article is missing birth and family information, as well as what Laker did before dropping out of college. Without these, the biography is missing important life elements. The article headings should be 1. Early life and 2. Career, with other roles and personal life moved into these. -- Jreferee ( talk) 00:46, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
