replies: text: Thank you for your reply. Reliable tertiary sources can be helpful in (1) providing broad summaries of topics that involve many primary and secondary sources; and also may be helpful in (2) evaluating due weight, especially when primary or secondary sources contradict each other. I don't see either of those situations in the case of the Robert Thomson article, where the sources given are all primary sources. In the four instances from your edit request where you wanted to use an encyclopedia, the nature of the sentence's individual claim statements either prevented this (as in example No. #4, below) or were to be better sourced elsewhere (as in example No's. #1-3, below):
# 
# 
# 
##Claims of employment such as these statements underlined in orange . As the original provider to the subject of payroll, tax information, benefits etc., the employer was and still is the most intimately knowledgeable source on the subject's employment, having access to when the subject started working and for how long and in what positions. The best way to reference these statements would be to have the employer as verification of the actual employment while the encyclopedia is perfectly capable of verifying just the dates of employment. 
#, 
##Encyclopedia's are good for dates but this part of the claim statement underlined in red , a claim that the encyclopedia would not be expected to have access to, given the tertiary nature of the publication.  spintendo  19:30, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

message: I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Robert Thomson I'd like to add the below sentence to the beginning of the "Career" section. I've included four references to demonstrate this is a well-documented fact supported by a variety of sources over time, but I do not expect all four are necessary for inclusion in the Wikipedia article.

message: I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Robert Thomson I'd like to add the below as the second sentence in the "Career" section. I've included several references to demonstrate the positions held at each publication are well-documented facts supported by a variety of sources over time, some of which are already used in the article, but I do not expect all are necessary for inclusion.

message: * The claim regarding relocating to Tokyo was not added, as it conflicts with the prior claim  "As well as the Financial Times" does not clarify if this is the same position at the Financial Times in Tokyo, because the "Beijing" correspondent could very well have worked out of Tokyo — as correspondents are not necessarily attached to the exact city specified — and the claim does not state "as well as for the Financial Times" which would have more definatively placed them in Beijing (i.e., became Beijing correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald as well as for the Financial Times.) There is no surety without dates.

message: I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Robert Thomson I would like to add just after the sentence that ends with "...later became Beijing correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald as well as the Financial Times.":
:While at Sydney Morning Herald, Thomson wrote a series on Australian judges, which was published as a book in 1987, The Judges: A Portrait of an Australian Judiciary.

message: I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Robert Thomson I would like to add the following just after the sentence that ends with "...later became Beijing correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald as well as the Financial Times."
:Thomson then became a Tokyo correspondent for the Financial Times in 1989.
In addition, I'd like to suggest the following citations to address the "citation needed" tag on the page following "In May 2008 he was appointed managing editor of the Wall Street Journal, having previously been the editor of The Times."
