"Amicus briefs" section WP:OR

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The entire "Amicus briefs" section appears to be nothing but WP:OR, relying on and citing nothing but the briefs themselves—without proper RS, it oughtn't to be included at all. The section appears to have been created and edited by a single user, Quartermaster17, who seems to have some real facility editing Wikipedia yet, oddly enough, has only contributed to two articles.

More broadly, I question whether and to what degree the "University admissions lawsuits" section should be included in this biography at all. It currently includes more than 350 words on Arcidiacono's expert testimony, in sharp contrast to the Wikipedia biographies of the other expert witnesses: David Card's has 11 words on the topic, while Caroline Hoxby's, Bridget Terry Long's, and Ruth Simmons's don't mention it at all.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! ElleTheBelle 15:09, 24 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
