I work at Macfarlanes and would like to add some content to present a more balanced picture of the firm. The profile seems to concentrate on controversies and redundancies at the moment, which does look a bit one sided. Looking at the types of content other law firms include (Ashursts, SJ Berwin – although this feels a bit promotional for my liking and Allen & Overy), I was thinking of adding details of a few notable clients, perhaps any major awards (NB not everything only a few of the more interesting ones) and any reference to other interesting pieces of work it has been involved with. It goes without saying that everything will be appropriately referenced and would not read like a promotional brochure. It would be good to know what you think of this before I make any edits. thanks KempyK (talk) 13:14, 21 October 2011 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-10-21T13:14:00.000Z","author":"KempyK","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-KempyK-2011-10-21T13:14:00.000Z-Suggested_changes","replies":["c-Rangoon11-2011-10-21T14:36:00.000Z-KempyK-2011-10-21T13:14:00.000Z"]}}-->
I am unsure as to why the following properly cited content has been removed, in view of the sources prominently referring to the firm (one is actually titled 'Macfarlanes partner invented kidnap story to avoid drink-driving charge, court hears'), Bridgeman having been a partner (and therefore owner) of the firm at the time, Bridgeman having left the firm as a result, Bridgeman having been drinking with colleagues prior to the incident, and an employee of Macfarlanes also being involved in the police investigation.
"In December 2011, the British national newspapers the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror reported that Francis Bridgeman, a parter at Macfarlanes between August 2009 and December 2011, was being prosecuted for attempting to avoid a drink-driving charge by lying to police about have been kidnapped by an armed gang.[1][2] It was reported that Bridgeman had crashed his car into a telegraph pole on 6 April 2010, and that, although Bridgeman had told police that he only drank one pint of beer in London, a colleague at Macfarlanes had later informed detectives that Bridgeman had another four pints during a three hour drinking session.[1][2][3]" Rangoon11 (talk) 14:23, 17 December 2011 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-12-17T14:23:00.000Z","author":"Rangoon11","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Rangoon11-2011-12-17T14:23:00.000Z-Removal_of_irrelevant_information","replies":["c-Mtking-2011-12-17T21:30:00.000Z-Rangoon11-2011-12-17T14:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi all I would like to make some changes to this wikipedia profile but before I do, want to make sure there are no major objections. I'm all for consistency wherever possible and having had a look at other law firm profiles on wikipedia (Herbert Smith, Travers Smith) would like to remove the references to work etc so that the history section provides a brief overview of the history of the firm and ends after the mention of Vanni Treves.
The way the profile is written at the moment, it is different to add up to date content without it appearing promotional. (I will not name and shame other law firms who have done just this!) I would rather the profile be concise and to the point and stating the basic facts about the firm.
Any objections or thoughts?

Hi, thanks - I agree re removing the references to Peter Lim and also Liza O'Toole and will remove. In terms of sourcing additional content, perhaps it is worth mentioning that in January of this year, Macfarlanes was joined by a team from D Harris & Co International Limited to boost its hedge fund practice. I wouldn't usually suggest including details of staff appointments, but as this was a "whole team" joining the firm, I think it is more relevant to the history of the firm. What do you think?
I've done some digging to see what I can uncover on the period 1875 - 1987. There is some interesting material re the firm's growth (in 1960 there was 90 people, in 1980 it had doubled in size) so perhaps it is worth highlighting the fact the firm as grown organically over the years and has never merged. There was also some interesting details about the history of the firm's offices (the offices in Watling Street sustained damage in wartime bombing and were pulled down as part of the re-development of the City, and a new office in Dowgate Hill was built for them). Not sure how appropriate this is however.
It would be good to get your thoughts and I will keep hunting for relevant material. thanks KJK2000 (talk) 09:01, 12 October 2012 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-10-12T09:01:00.000Z","author":"KJK2000","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-KJK2000-2012-10-12T09:01:00.000Z-Proposed_changes","replies":["c-Rangoon11-2012-10-12T21:25:00.000Z-KJK2000-2012-10-12T09:01:00.000Z"]}}-->

In representation theory, a branch of mathematics, the Kostant partition function, introduced by Bertram Kostant (1958, 1959), of a root system Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } is the number of ways one can represent a vector (weight) as a non-negative integer linear combination of the positive roots Δ + ⊂ Δ {\displaystyle \Delta ^{+}\subset \Delta } . Kostant used it to rewrite the Weyl character formula as a formula (the Kostant multiplicity formula) for the multi…

Deze kan tegenwoordig van iedere vorm en materiaal zijn, maar de naam jol was zo ingeburgerd dat die nog steeds gebruikt wordt voor kleine scheepjes die voor dit doel worden gebruikt.
