There's a mismatch here between the title and the content of this article. The title is very broad, while the article itself is quite specific. If the article is going to be about the general idea of faking insanity, what will be covered that isn't already in Insanity defense? Joyous 01:07, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

In the section "To examine the system from the inside" Nellie Bly is described as "American muckraker Nellie Bly", while the article on Nellie Bly describes her as an early feminist and investigative journalist. I believe the muckraker comment is biased and needs removal but didn't want to make the change without discussion as I am rarely involved in editing Wikipedia.

The term "muckraker" was acknowledged at the time as a badge of honor and continues to be so. Upton Sinclair is another example. No need to change this appropriate adjective. Ricegator (talk) 06:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Except that's a reason why it could be wrong. No editorializing - we try to use non-judgemental language here. Whether the judgement would be supportive or condemning, we try not to do that on Wikipedia. 130.105.213.232 (talk) 12:52, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
