Cutting 'undisclosed paid' tag / banned editor rollback

edit

I'm about to cut the {{Undisclosed paid|date=October 2023}} tag after rolling back the banned editors noted by User:MarioGom (i.e. all those listed here). Reverts done manually, rationales/exceptions below:

  • Diff1 - PeterMadigan. REVERTED, in part. Their edit updated stats without updating the source, so I added a 'citation needed.' Also cut some fluff about Lazard's age. Someone else had already fixed some inexplicable tense changes in the headings. PeterMadigan also messed with the board list without updating the reference, but it's been updated since then, and looks current.
  • Diff2 - PeterMadigan. REVERTED, in part. Their edit re-added a division CEO to infobox, don't think that much matters so I left. Another change of facts and board members with no new source, so added [citation needed] tags. Their edit added new CEO with press release, which I left, but I did re-add part of the content they cut about Independent Point Advisors.
  • Diff3 - HauntsQuants. Left alone; it was a generic update to the infobox and current board members.
  • Diff4 - HauntsQuants. Left alone, since their edit was a simple mention of new CEO with NYT footnote.
  • Diff5 - TardyMarmot. Minor dab, left alone.
  • Diff6 - TardyMarmot. Left alone; they cut "American worldwide" from the intro. I was tempted to add back "multinational," but the sentence on headquarters later in the paragraph makes that obvious.
  • Diff7 - TardyMarmot. Left alone, for now. The edit cut an intern who was fired from Lazard for having a career in adult entertainment. Torn on this one. Interns certainly count as employees, so I see no reason not to add her back (sans the imdb link), except she has no Wikipedia page, and the list only has one other non-notable entry, which is likely erroneous and I imagine ultimately will be cut by whoever is tending the list most actively.
  • Diff8 - TardyMarmot. Left alone, since the changes related to a section on SolarCity that has since been entirely cut.
  • Diff9 - TardyMarmot. Left alone. They added infobox stats and board changes, since updated and moot, and also sourced the intro to the Financial Times. There was some odd switching of financial reports, now irrelevant, so I didn't re-add in this deleted source: "Lazard Ltd Form 10-K - Annual Report". Nasdaq OMX investor. February 25, 2016.
  • Diff10 - TardyMarmot. TardyMarmot reverting vandalism.
  • Diff11 - TardyMarmot, yet another infobox update with no fresh sourcing, now moot. They also entirely cut an overlarge section on two recent advising clients, which was poorly sourced with press releases. I didn't bother re-adding the section.
  • A bunch of edits by TardyMarmot all involved changing the infobox stats, number of locations, or board of directors list without also updating the sourcing - but since the recent updates make those mistakes moot, I've left these edits untouched: Diff12, Diff13, Diff14, Diff15, Diff16, Diff17.
