[edit]

What is the connection between Garbus, who is an attorney, and the list of Films? Sbowers3 (talk) 22:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He appears in the films, one as an actor, the second two are documentaries, he is an interviewee. In addition, all of the films deal with the legal issues in which Garbus was involved in.

Verifiability and reliable sources

[edit]

One of Wikipedia's most important policies is verifiability: "Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed."

I believe all of the quotations have now been sourced.

The standard for sources is secondary sources. The sources to this article are primary sources and tertiary sources, which are considered less reliable. This article would be improved by providing references to reliable secondary sources, e.g. newspapers or magazines.

Verifiability would also be improved if each section had footnotes to the source of information, rather than just having a list of references. Sbowers3 (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe all of these issues have been resolved as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.117.166.110 (talk) 19:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Client list

[edit]

I checked with another experienced editor. We both agree that the client list is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Please do not re-include it. Sbowers3 (talk) 22:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The client list has been taken off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevenmcohen (talk • contribs) 12:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I saw that you removed the whole intro paragraph, but for one sentence for the intro of Martin Garbus's Bio. There is a lot of info that I believe should be included. I do however, now understand that some of the other promotional content must be removed. While I am listed as COI, I just type and post information for Mr. Garbus and am not a publicist. Kim Connolly (talk) 18:00, 5 May 2025 (UTC)  GuardianH  18:04, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kim Connolly I've relocated the discussion here. You could possibly propose an alternative lede that is more neutral in tone here in this discussion and I can implement it.  GuardianH  18:04, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay- thanks for your prompt reply. Can you tell me how I can comply with this message?: "This article contains paid contributions. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page." I am reading notes and instructions carefully but am confused. Must I remove notable praise? Is there an idea page I should refer to? I was looking at Alan Dershowitz's page because they both do similar work. thanks Kim Connolly (talk) 18:10, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest typing up a draft — take a look at our content policies on a neutral point of view, due weight, and synthesis of material, then paste a potential draft here in a reply. It doesn't have to be anything too polished since it is just a draft of course. After that, I can review and expand what you've written, then it can be implemented.  GuardianH  18:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I reviewed the guidelines and also ran through AI for Wikipedia. I'm unclear if I can list cases or Book reviews, but here is what I have. Thanks. I have links/citations to all

This is another draft of a lede paragraph(s). The article currently does not have a lede paragraph. I ran this through AI to ensure it fit Wikipedia guidelines. I have the source links for the quotes and accolades. Please advise.

Thanks. I will submit a draft of the whole page. The original paragraph had been there since before I started editing for Mr. Garbus, so it's confusing.
The subject is concerned about having the "paid contributions line" as he is an attorney. Is there anything that can be done about that? Kim Connolly (talk) 18:36, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately not right now, but I can remove it once a review is completed. Generally subjects are strictly prohibited from influencing any editorial discretion.  GuardianH  20:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your attention. I was surprised to see the whole intro paragraph removed earlier in the week. I didn't know that could Promotional Language
I understand that Wikipedia doesn't accept promotional language but read that "Wikipedia expects neutral and attributed phrasing like:"Described by [source] as a leading expert in X"" There are accolades in the piece but they are attributed to reputable sources with links. Can they be included? ex: The Guardian called Garbus "one of the world’s finest trial lawyers" and the "founding partner of one of America’s most prestigious law firms". The New York Law Journal called him "one of America's finest criminal lawyers...a legendary criminal lawyer." Kim Connolly (talk) 17:02, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
