==Vandalism?==
I have no idea how to change the page back to what it was on November 13th, 2007, but the editing on November 16th is just changing words like "profitable" to "unprofitable", "licensed" to "unlicensed", etc.  Someone needs to go in and change the article back to it's November 13th, 2007 form.

==Balance==
When did Wikipedia turn into an internal Edward Jones PR department site? Take off the bad stuff, and fill in with a whitewash of corporate fluff. Nice.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/72.85.175.15|72.85.175.15]] ([[User talk:72.85.175.15|talk]]) 21:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Yes, advertising puff through and through, needs fixing. What's the best tag to add to flag this?  [[User:Ioliver|Ian]] ([[User talk:Ioliver|talk]]) 14:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

A link to http://www.finra.org/Investors/ToolsCalculators/BrokerCheck/index.htm would allow people to see the millions dollars in fines against this company.[[User:Weebur|Weebur]] ([[User talk:Weebur|talk]]) 22:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

== Can we get a spell check? ==

"Edward Jones financial advisors sell commission-based and fee-based financial products. Offices are usually staffed by two associates: one Financial Advisor (see Financial Adviser, a licensed broker)"

In the same article, and within 2 sentences we have different spellings of "adviser." This should not be that difficult.[[Special:Contributions/68.2.35.66|68.2.35.66]] ([[User talk:68.2.35.66|talk]]) 05:30, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Can someone write down the Edward Jones history in the UK, as I saw some of their offices in the UK but they have now disappeared. [[Special:Contributions/86.174.209.24|86.174.209.24]] ([[User talk:86.174.209.24|talk]]) 22:57, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

==2007 class action settlement==

At the Investment Wikiproject, an editor pointed out a class action settlement for allegations of "secret Revenue Sharing payments" posted on the brokerage's website: http://www.edwardjones.com/groups/ejw_content/@ejw/documents/web_content/ejw_900360.pdf

In reply to him/her, I hope my opinions are helpful:
* You can't post your personal allegation against the brokerage at Wikipedia.
* I am just an editor like you - I personally don't see any problem adding a mention of the settlement, as long as you (a) put the range allegations in perspective, rather than emphasize fraud and (b) mention that EDJ denies wrongdoing.
* I agree with you that the article as it is now puts [[WP:DUE|undue weight]] on awards and trade press rankings. Everyone has rankings and unfortunately this article only lists the good ones.

== Advert ==

Hello:
I see that {{u|Nouill}} has recently tagged both the entire article and "Awards and rankings" section as Adverts. I am unclear what is promotional, but I thought we could begin the discussion and find a consensus on what, if anything, needs to be cleaned up to achieve a [[WP:NPOV|NPOV]]. (As this is generally a sleepy article, I'm tagging those how have edited in the last year to get their input. {{u|DocWatson42}}, {{u|Tribe of Tiger}}, {{u|Steve03Mills}}, {{u|Darrylhopkins}}, {{u|Ponydepression}}, {{u|WikiEditCrunch}}, {{u|Doprendek}}, {{u|UnitedStatesian}}, {{u|Jakebed}}, {{u|ClassicOnAStick}}) [[User:Dbsseven|Dbsseven]] ([[User talk:Dbsseven|talk]]) 15:49, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
:"I am unclear what is promotional" => You're kidding me ? --[[User:Nouill|Nouill]] ([[User talk:Nouill|talk]]) 16:09, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
: Keep it or take it out. I'm indifferent. (Although if in, those bullets have to go.) But if you take it out, I don't think it's worth the time to make some general rule about removing such sections. I personally don't like these kind of sections in general, as they are by their nature hype-ish. But they are also kinda sorta encyclopedia-like--awards are the kind of thing not uncommonly found in print encyclopedias from way back. My big concern in company articles (I do a lot of housekeeping on them) is their thinness. They are important to the world's current ruling structure and need the kind of centrally-located basic info that Wikipedia provides. But they tend to get far less coverage than say that actor who was in two early episodes of Star Trek etc. gets. The important thing IMO--and it does not seem to be a problem in this article--is to put an end to the censoring of criticisms or even outright proven infractions of companies. [[User:Doprendek|Doprendek]] ([[User talk:Doprendek|talk]]) 19:30, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
::{{ping|Doprendek}} I completely agree that the "awards" sub-section on awards could be much more neatly summarized with prose. And I agree that business articles in general could use much more detail, should never be censored to exclude facts critical of the company. In dealing with this issue, I am unclear what about the ''whole article'' Nouill beileves is promotional, and how the awards sub-section is itself promotional if the awards are relevant and noteworthy. Hence the discussion here. [[User:Dbsseven|Dbsseven]] ([[User talk:Dbsseven|talk]]) 22:26, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
::: I agree with Dbsseven's [next to] last sentence, though I did just change a "Cite news" reference to a more appropriate "Cite press release". —[[User:DocWatson42|DocWatson42]] ([[User talk:DocWatson42|talk]]) 06:56, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

== Edit requests to remove undue tag ==
{{edit COI|A}}
Hello, I am disclosed editor, Julia, working for Edward Jones Investments. I am calling on {{u|AllegedlyHuman}} directly so that together we can work to remove the "undue weight" tag that he applied to the page in January 2021. I have carefully looked over the page, and believe I have identified several places where the removal of unnecessary details, as well as the addition of updated information, will bring better balance to the page. I hope you agree that the following edit requests will restore the necessary balance allowing the "undue tag" to be removed.
*In the third paragraph of the History section which begins "On December 22, 2004," please change "As part of the settlement," until "from these product partners" to the following: "The company paid a $75 million fine and disclosed the revenue sharing payments on its website."
*In the next (fourth) paragraph, please change: "because, according to the SEC: 'Edward Jones undermined the integrity of the bond underwriting process by overcharging retail customers by at least $4.6 million" to "for overcharging retail customers".
*The following (fifth) paragraph describes trivial donations that do not add anything to the understanding of the history of the company, so it should be taken out.
*Please add the following paragraph and source to the end of the History section: "At the end of the first quarter of 2021 the company had 18,967 advisors, a decrease of a bit less than 1% since the same time in 2020 when there were 19,027 advisors. The average growth from year to year is about 6%. The decrease was mainly a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic which reduced hiring.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Edwards|first=Greg|date=11 May 2021|title=Edward Jones hires fewer advisers in pandemic, takes in more client assets and more revenue as markets rise|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2021/05/11/edward-jones-hires-fewer-advisers-in-pandemic.html|url-status=live|access-date=|website=www.bizjournals.com}}</ref>
*In the Awards and rankings section add the following to the end of the first paragraph: J.D.

Thank you AllegedlyHuman for helping to improve the article. [[User:Julia.edwardjones|Julia.edwardjones]] ([[User talk:Julia.edwardjones|talk]]) 18:43, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:Hello Julia, thanks for the tag. I have a couple concerns. First, I think being a part of the [[List of companies that halted U.S. political contributions in January 2021]] is more significant than you're giving it credit for. Secondly, I don't think the sources you provided at the end – mostly hyper-local newspapers – represent significant coverage, and I highly suspect at least some of them are [[WP:NEWSORG|press releases]] or other [[WP:IS|non-independent]] media. [https://www.murrayledger.com/news/business/edward-jones-named-one-of-the-2021-fortune-100-best-companies-to-work-for-by/article_450ac4c8-9e3d-11eb-9694-1fdff6c9f4f0.html "Everything they do is driven by the mission to build a better world by helping every organization become a great place to work For All"]? I'm tagging this as an edit request so hopefully more people will look at it and potentially weigh in, but I'm letting you know, most edit requests are for open-and-shut things, and usually done about one sentence at a time. Also, I'll tell you that the only reason I added that tag to the article was that there was previously a section labeled "criticism and controversy." [[WP:CSECTION|Wikipedia discourages that]], so I removed it {{diff|Edward Jones Investments|1002590539}} and then tagged the article as being slanted toward negative content {{diff|Edward Jones Investments|1002590539}}. [[User:AllegedlyHuman|AllegedlyHuman]] ([[User talk:AllegedlyHuman|talk]]) 21:10, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
::Hi {{u|AllegedlyHuman}}. Thanks for having this discussion with me. I apologize for not getting the formatting of my edit request correct the first few times, and I thank you for overlooking that and addressing my request anyway. I also apologize for the length of the request, and hope you can overlook that as well. First, I accept your opinion that the political donations are not trivial, and therefore do belong in the article. Second, I can address your concern that some of the sources are hyper-local. The Murray Ledger, can be replaced with a more widely-read source, https://fortune.com/company/jones-financial/best-companies/ and the ''Door County Pulse'' and the ''Gazette Virginian'' can both be replaced with https://www.barrons.com/articles/edward-jones-tops-j-d-powers-ranking-amid-shifting-client-preferences-51618489455. Third, my other edit requests focus on eliminating the "slant towards negative content" that you pointed out and which is the reason for the tag. I am hoping, as I stated above, that we can work together to bring better balance to the article, and if you can try and address the problem of the negative imbalance, I would really appreciate it. Thanks again. [[User:Julia.edwardjones|Julia.edwardjones]] ([[User talk:Julia.edwardjones|talk]]) 18:46, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

'''History'''
* Third sentence: Please update to read as follows to account for the fact that the company also operates in metros throughout US and Canada (proposed new copy in bold): 

Edward Jones’ son Edward D. “Ted” Jones was responsible for the creation of the individual branch network, which has spread across rural communities, suburbs '''and metro cities''' throughout the US and Canada.<ref>{{cite news |last= O’Hara |first= Clare |date= August 27, 2023 |title= Edward Jones moves into downtown cores as it expands beyond traditional one-person locations in strip malls |url= https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-edward-jones-moves-into-downtown-cores-as-it-expands-beyond/ |publisher= [[The_Globe_and_Mail|The Globe and Mail]] |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= For the privately owned subsidiary of U.S. investment giant Edward D.

* Final paragraph: To bring current and move away from 2020 and 2021 figures, please update this paragraph to read as follows. (Conversely, adding this sentence to the end of the existing paragraph may also be an option, if preferred):

The company had 18,796 advisors on staff at the end of 2022.<ref>{{cite report |date= February 24, 2023 |title= FORM 10-K |url= https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/815917/000095017023007158/ck0000815917-20221231.htm |publisher= [[U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission|U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]] |page= 11 |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= The Partnership has continued executing its strategy to grow and promote branch team success during 2022, ending the year with 18,796 financial advisors in two thirds of U.S. counties and all Canadian provinces, a slight decrease from 2021.}}</ref>

'''Business Model'''
* Please add the following sentence after the current fourth sentence:

In 2022, the company launched a teaming program that allowed multiple branches to service clients, a pivot away from the company’s long-standing model of directing clients to a single branch office.<ref>{{cite news |last= Britton |first= Diana |date= July 20, 2023 |title= Edward Jones Moves More Advisors to Teams |url= https://www.wealthmanagement.com/industry/edward-jones-moves-more-advisors-teams |publisher= Wealth Management |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Edward Jones has a long history of operating under a one-advisor-per-branch model. But about a year ago, the firm said it would let advisors co-locate in the same building if they chose to. The firm has since expanded the team-based approach: Now, advisors can share clients as well. The brokerage firm has some 600 of its more than 19,000 advisors operating in some form of team model, whether that’s co-locating or sharing clients, said CEO Penny Pennington, in an interview with WealthManagement.com. She expects that to reach 1,000 by the end of the year.}}</ref>
* Final sentence: Please revise the final sentence in this section to the following sentence to bring the figures current and remove “as of 2017”:

Edward Jones has the largest number of brokers, with 18,892, and branch offices, with more than 15,000, among brokerage firms in the United States.<ref>{{cite news |last= Greenberg |first= Gregg |date= August 11, 2023 |title= Edward Jones head count, assets grow in second quarter |url= https://www.investmentnews.com/edward-jones-head-count-assets-grow-in-second-quarter-240959  |publisher= Investment News |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Edward Jones was up 137 financial advisors at the end of the second quarter compared to the second quarter of last year, bringing its total to 18,892, the company reported Friday.}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last= Donachie |first= Patrick |date= March 17, 2020 |title= Edward Jones to End In-Person Client Meetings |url= https://www.wealthmanagement.com/industry/edward-jones-end-person-client-meetings |publisher= Wealth Management |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Edward Jones is asking its advisors to meet only virtually with new and existing clients, and is temporarily restricting client access to all of its 15,000 North American branch offices as a result of the burgeoning spread of the coronavirus in the United States, the financial services firm announced today.}}</ref>

'''Awards and rankings'''
* Please add the following sentence to the end of this section to provide more up to date information on the company’s inclusion in Fortune’s list of Top 100 Companies to Work For:

The company currently has relationships with '''more than''' 8 million clients<ref>{{cite news |last= Greenberg |first= Gregg |date= August 11, 2023 |title= Edward Jones head count, assets grow in second quarter |url= https://www.investmentnews.com/edward-jones-head-count-assets-grow-in-second-quarter-240959  |publisher= Investment News |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= “Edward Jones offers flexibility and choice for our branch teams to grow our impact and create new value for the 8 million clients we currently serve and the 42 million serious, long-term individual investors we seek to serve,” Don Aven, principal for branch and region development at Edward Jones, said in a statement.}}</ref> and '''$1.8''' trillion in assets under management worldwide.<ref>{{cite news |last= Greenberg |first= Gregg |date= August 11, 2023 |title= Edward Jones head count, assets grow in second quarter |url= https://www.investmentnews.com/edward-jones-head-count-assets-grow-in-second-quarter-240959  |publisher= Investment News |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Edward Jones’ 10-Q report showed it finished the second quarter with $1.8 trillion in client assets under its care, a 14% increase compared to the end of the second quarter of 2022...}}</ref>

*Fourth sentence: Please remove the word “small” from “small business owners” as the company does not solely specialize in servicing small businesses.<ref>{{cite news |title= Edward Jones |url= https://money.usnews.com/financial-advisors/firm/edward-jones-250 |publisher= [[U.S._News_%26_World_Report|US News and World Report]] |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Client Types: 14.3 Corporations or Other Businesses}}</ref>


'''History'''

* Third sentence: Please update to read as follows to account for the fact that the company also operates in metros throughout US and Canada (proposed new copy in bold):


Edward Jones’ son Edward D. “Ted” Jones was responsible for the creation of the individual branch network, which has spread across rural communities, suburbs '''and metro cities''' throughout the US<ref>{{cite news |date= June 5, 2023 |title= Jones Financial (Edward Jones) |url= https://fortune.com/company/jones-financial/ |publisher= [[Fortune_(magazine)|Fortune]] |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote=Founded in 1922 by its eponymous founder, the brokerage firm now counts 14,200 branches in all 50 U.S. states, unified by a company-wide training program that its advisors—who come from a range of career backgrounds, from engineering to education to banking—must complete.}}</ref> and Canada.<ref>{{cite news |last= O’Hara |first= Clare |date= August 27, 2023 |title= Edward Jones moves into downtown cores as it expands beyond traditional one-person locations in strip malls |url= https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-edward-jones-moves-into-downtown-cores-as-it-expands-beyond/ |publisher= [[The_Globe_and_Mail|The Globe and Mail]] |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= For the privately owned subsidiary of U.S. investment giant Edward D.

* Final paragraph: To bring current and move away from 2020 and 2021 figures, please update this paragraph to read as follows. (Conversely, adding this sentence to the end of the existing paragraph may also be an option, if preferred):

The company had 18,796 advisors on staff at the end of 2022.<ref>{{cite report |date= February 24, 2023 |title= FORM 10-K |url= https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/815917/000095017023007158/ck0000815917-20221231.htm |publisher= [[U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission|U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]] |page= 11 |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= The Partnership has continued executing its strategy to grow and promote branch team success during 2022, ending the year with 18,796 financial advisors in two thirds of U.S. counties and all Canadian provinces, a slight decrease from 2021.}}</ref>
 

'''Business Model'''

* Please add the following sentence after the current fourth sentence:
 

In 2022, the company launched a teaming program that allowed multiple branches to service clients, a pivot away from the company’s long-standing model of directing clients to a single branch office.<ref>{{cite news |last= Britton |first= Diana |date= July 20, 2023 |title= Edward Jones Moves More Advisors to Teams |url= https://www.wealthmanagement.com/industry/edward-jones-moves-more-advisors-teams |publisher= Wealth Management |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Edward Jones has a long history of operating under a one-advisor-per-branch model.

The brokerage firm has some 600 of its more than 19,000 advisors operating in some form of team model, whether that’s co-locating or sharing clients, said CEO Penny Pennington, in an interview with WealthManagement.com. She expects that to reach 1,000 by the end of the year.}}</ref>

* Final sentence: Please revise the final sentence in this section to the following sentence to bring the figures current and remove “as of 2017”:


Edward Jones has the largest number of brokers, with 18,892<ref>{{cite news |last= Greenberg |first= Gregg |date= August 11, 2023 |title= Edward Jones head count, assets grow in second quarter |url= https://www.investmentnews.com/edward-jones-head-count-assets-grow-in-second-quarter-240959  |publisher= Investment News |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Edward Jones was up 137 financial advisors at the end of the second quarter compared to the second quarter of last year, bringing its total to 18,892, the company reported Friday.}}</ref>, and branch offices, with more than 15,000, among brokerage firms in the United States. <ref>{{cite news |last= Donachie |first= Patrick |date= March 17, 2020 |title= Edward Jones to End In-Person Client Meetings |url= https://www.wealthmanagement.com/industry/edward-jones-end-person-client-meetings |publisher= Wealth Management |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= Edward Jones is asking its advisors to meet only virtually with new and existing clients, and is temporarily restricting client access to all of its 15,000 North American branch offices as a result of the burgeoning spread of the coronavirus in the United States, the financial services firm announced today.}}</ref>


'''Awards and rankings'''

* Please add the following sentence to the end of this section to provide more up to date information on the company’s inclusion in Fortune’s list of [[100_Best_Companies_to_Work_For| 100 Best Companies to Work For]]:

The company was ranked 35th<ref>{{cite news |title= Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For (2022) |url= https://fortune.com/ranking/best-companies/2022/search/?Name=edward+jones |publisher= [[Fortune_(magazine)|Fortune]] |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= #35 Jones Financial (Edward Jones)}}</ref>and 62nd<ref>{{cite news |title= Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For (2022) |url= https://fortune.com/ranking/best-companies/2023/search/?Name=edward+jones |publisher= [[Fortune_(magazine)|Fortune]] |access-date= October 24, 2023 |quote= #62 Jones Financial (Edward Jones)}}</ref> in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

'''Lead'''

* In an earlier exchange, an update to Edward Jones’ assets under management (AUM) in the infobox was changed to the correct figure of $1.8 trillion. I’d also ask that this update is made in the third sentence of the Lead section for consistency and accuracy.

From: “The company currently has relationships with nearly 8 million clients and $1.7 trillion in assets under management worldwide.”

To (''area to change is bolded. Sourcing included for editor reference.

* Final sentence: In a previous exchange, {{reply to|Spintendo}} raised questions about existing language (“among brokerage firms in the U.S., etc.”) To address these questions and to work toward updating outdated figures, I have a proposed change below.

'''Rationale for requested changes:''' Aiming to make these figures accurate, remove the outdated “as of” qualifier and remove potentially confusing language.
