Reply[edit]

Per WP:INTEGRITY, the references should be placed as close as possible to the claim statements which they support. Your current request leaves the first sentence, arguably the most important, unmarked with a note and thus unreferenced. Please advise which of the nine references already shown may also apply for this first sentence. Spintendo      03:09, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Spintendo USA Today 2014 reference. Thank you. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 04:07, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Spintendo should I write another request with more exact reference placement? What is your suggestion? -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 04:16, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:MOS and general custom in Wikipedia, the article's lead paragraph usually does not contain references. Left till later in the article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:7&6=thirteen these are proposed changes to the "Notable cases", not to the lead section. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:37, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to the article[edit]

Please recover Notable attorneys, employees and alumni section that was mistakenly deleted by another editor. Such kind of section is a norm for law firm articles. Please see the examples (in alphabetical order): Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, DLA Piper, Drinker Biddle & Reath, Hall Estill, Jackson Kelly (law firm), Kutak Rock, Marbury, Miller & Evans (and so on). Also the fact of someone being appointed as a federal judge is an important fact.

Please also add one clarification to the History part and one to the infobox (number of lawyers).

check Partially implemented
  1. This reviewer can only act on information which is proposed here on the talk page. Information which is removed by other editors should first be dealt with by making contact with the editor who removed it. If no response is obtained from that editor, the information may be presented here for review, in order to see if it can be added to the article.
  2. The information regarding Ms. Marmolejo was added.
  3. The information concerning the opening of the New York office in connection with Highland was not verified by the supplied reference. The sentence as it is now worded implies that the two events are connected by more than just the date (e.g., "the firm started to work with the Dallas-based hedge fund Highland Capital Management and opened the NY office."). If these two events are indeed separate and connected only by the same year, then these should be placed in separate sentences.
  4. The number of attorneys was updated.
  5. Please remember to sign all posts.

Dear @Spintendo: thank you for implementing these changes. The two facts are indeed not related. So the phrase can go like "In 2010, the firm started to work with the Dallas-based hedge fund Highland Capital Management.(reference) By the end of 2010, the company had 15 lawyers.(reference)". Should I write new editing request for it or not? Regards. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 06:18, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

   Clarification needed  

The requested claim does not specify what is meant by "started to work with the Dallas based hedge fund HCM." According to the passage later in the article, it states that this "partnership" was taken on contingency and lasted for only a single case. To use the word "Started" in the lead section is to imply that what we saw with the Highland case was the beginning of a longer, more intricate relationship that was of seminal importance to the firm's history. To make a claim which implies importance or longevity in a relationship where it appears that work was done together in only one case would add an additional level of information to the narrative which requires additional references attesting to that narrative. The only other reason for inclusion of a single case in the lead would be when that specific case is of such importance as to merit its own Wikipedia page, which is not the case here. To include the claim in the lead, please provide sourcing which states that the relationship between Highland and RC&T extended beyond the Credit Suisse case, thus justifying the mentioning of it in the lead.  spintendo  11:50, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Spintendo the company indeed has "a relationship extended beyond the Credit Suisse case". "Notable cases" section mentions 2012 suit against Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe (2012) and an earlier version of the article also mentioned a properly referenced suit against Bank of America (2012) that got removed without a reason by other editors. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:57, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
