Change to text first paragraph

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be edited in first paragraph: Stikeman Elliott LLP is a leading Canadian business law firm with offices located in Montréal, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, New York, London and Sydney.^[1] It is known as one of Bay Street's "seven sisters"^[2] and has approximately 500 lawyers. It was founded in 1952 by H. Heward Stikeman and Fraser Elliott.^[3]

Explanation of issue: Better defines the firm's law practice of Canadian law. Also links to all active offices that practice law. Better defines where 'Seven sister' law firms practice. References supporting change: https://stikeman.com/en-ca/firm/history

Hello and thank you for using edit requests. Reading the Seven Sisters (law firms) article it does indeed use the words "leading" so I think that is okay now. We do not need a link to your website and all the offices they have in the first line. May I suggest some changes to the wording such as "Stikeman Elliott LLP is a leading Canadian business law firm founded in 1952 by H. Heward Stikeman and Fraser Elliott. They are best known as one of Bay Street's "seven sisters" and have international offices located in Montréal, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, New York, London and Sydney." I am also going to ask you to remain consistent with the accounts you use. Please either use this IP or the created account but do not switch between both as it makes things confusing.

Thank you HickoryOughtShirt?4 for your help and suggestions. I will use this IP for future updates from my end. I will proceed with creating a new version with this approved language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.168.230.6 (talk) 18:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reference for the sisters claim was a dead URL, so that information (and the term "leading") was omitted. The source citations which were duplicates were consolidated under one entry in the references. This revealed that the article is sourced by only one reference. Thus, the one source maintenance template was appended to the article. Spintendo 11:17, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Spintendo - Stikeman Elliott is strongly recognized as one of the Seven Sister law firms that reside on Bay Street (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sisters_(law_firms)). Requesting that first paragraph be ammended to include this information below:

Stikeman Elliott LLP is a Canadian business law firm founded in 1952 by H. Heward Stikeman and Fraser Elliott.[1] The firm is recognized as one of Bay Street's "seven sisters" and has offices located in Montréal, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, New York, London and Sydney. Also, I would like to request that the following be added as cited by (http://precedentjd.com/news/whats-going-stikeman-elliott/) under the 'Career Programs' section that was recently removed:

Stikeman Elliott offers a summer student program and a law articling student program.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.168.230.6 (talk) 16:59, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's questionable whether the term is anything more than a historical footnote. The source Chambers Global 2014 rankings themselves confirm that "it’s time to retire the term 'seven sisters'" while the originator of the term himself said that the term had "run its course". The main Legal Week source in the 7 sisters Wikipedia article is a dead link (and a search of their website turns up nothing as far as I can tell). If anything, it doesnt appear to be something that needs to be in the lead. As far as promotion of Stikeman's summer student programs, this type of information is best stored on Stikeman's own website. A link to this website is provided in the Wikipedia article. Spintendo 19:26, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

If we refer to other law firms' articles on Wikipedia that have historically been referred to as a "seven sister" law firms, they have it presently noted, several without reference. Examples include:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osler,_Hoskin_%26_Harcourt, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake,_Cassels_%26_Graydon, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthy_T%C3%A9trault, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davies_Ward_Phillips_%26_Vineberg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodmans, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torys. Please review.

The careers section was prominently available on the Stikeman Elliott article page, and with the new reference this should be acceptable.

Edit request partially implemented

Y I have included the reference to seven sisters in the main body of text.
N Wikipedia is WP:NOTLINKEDIN, and thus a career section would not be appropriate.

Update: number of lawyers, revenue

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I am requesting to change content on this page, and disclose that I currently have a working relationship for the company Stikeman Elliott within the Marketing department. The changes are an update of the firm's number of attorneys and revenue. If a consensus that this information is accurate, please include on the Stikeman Elliott article page.

What I think should be changed: In the info box, change "No. of attorneys 470 (2017)" to "No. of attorneys 485 (2022)" and "Revenue USD 300,815,000 (2017)" to "Revenue USD 352,631,666 (2022)."

Why it should be changed: The information currently on the page dates from 2017. Updating these numbers will ensure that the information provided is current and reliable for Wikipedia users.

Editing first paragraph of article

Hi,

I'm the marketing communications coordinator at Stikeman Elliott LLP, working out of the Toronto office. We need to change the first paragraph of this page to remove "Sydney" from our list of offices, as it has closed.

We would be changing the page from:

To this:

Here is my LinkedIn profile verifying my employment with Stikeman Elliott - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaylenefinlay/

This page (https://www.stikeman.com/en-ca/firm/firm/history) and this page (https://www.stikeman.com/en-ca/firm/news/quentin-markin-co-head-of-global-mining-group-relocates-to-sydney-office) confirms that we've previously had a Sydney office

If you look under the Offices tab on the site, Sydney is no longer listed.

Please let me know if there's anything else you need.
