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.
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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.85.175.15 ( talk) 21:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I am disclosed editor, Julia, working for Edward Jones Investments. I am calling on 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.

This revised updated edit request addresses @ Spintendo:'s ask for changes to request formatting and elevates a couple previously requested edits that were neither approved nor declined during the past two rounds. Thanks again for your time and consideration.
Lead
“The company currently has relationships with nearly 8 million clients and $1.7 trillion in assets under management worldwide.”
To (areas to change are bolded. Sourcing included for editor reference. Feel free to leave out of edited sentence since this is in the lead.): “The company currently has relationships with more than 8 million clients [1] and $1.8 trillion in assets under management worldwide.” [2]
Rationale for requested changes: Figures that are currently used are outdated, per sourcing provided.
History
“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.”
To: “The company had 18,796 advisors on staff at the end of 2022.” [3]
Rationale for requested changes: To bring current and move away from 2020 and 2021 figures. Conversely, adding the requested sentence to the end of the existing paragraph may also be an option, if preferred instead of replacing.
Business Model
“As of 2017, Edward Jones had the largest number of brokers, with 16,095, and, branch offices, with 13,499, among brokerage firms in the United States.”
To: “Edward Jones has the largest number of brokers, with 18,892 [4], and branch offices, with more than 15,000, among brokerage firms in the United States.” [5]
Rationale for requested changes: Aiming to make these figures accurate and remove the outdated “as of” qualifier.

"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.
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...
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.
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.
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.

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.
