Mayer Brown - COI

Hello Mcvicker6, if you are connected to that company, please read Wikipedia's "conflict of interest" guideline. You shouldn't edit the article yourself in that case, but are welcome to make sourced suggestions for changes on the article's talkpage. About the insertion of "The firm has been ranked as one of the 50 most prestigious law firms by Vault.com": to put it bluntly, such an addition is a blatant misrepresentation of the original poll for promotional purposes. Vault.com itself fails several criteria for being a reliable source (unclear authorship and editorial oversight, accepts submissions from non-experts, questionable independence, promotional content). The mentioned polls are trivial opinion polls about "branche-internal prestige to work for", and not a reliable measure of a company's general worldwide "prestige" (which is a subjective term anyway). Please refrain from adding such publicity polls, especially in articles with a possible COI. Thanks for your consideration. GermanJoe (talk) 14:20, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
