It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality.

[edit]  

This article looks pretty close to advertising to me. There are several articles about online essay writing services - and Barclay Littlewood appears to have a leading role in that industry - so it may not be appropriate to delete the article, but it certainly needs a total rewrite. Several of the comments (for example about the unique quality of his essays) are unsubstantiated. The overwhelming academic consensus to the service is very negative in direct contradiction to the last sentence. Mpntod 19:52, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

I do agree with Mpntod that this article is self advertising (have a look at the history of this article: firstly, link to this person was done on Gray's Inn article and then this one was written, on the same day). Also links on the bottom of the page are there to promote the services of this individual. I think this article should be removed or completely re-written. Carol

[edit] Neutrality, verifiabilty and possible promotional aspects of this article.

Not to put too fine a point on it, this article reads as an advertisement for the various essay selling enterprises owned by the subject. While the subject of the article has been the subject of coverage in reliable sources, much of the information in the article itself is uncited and of questionable neutrality.
