Needs Updating
editThis page needs to be updated with information from the case monitor and the 2008 farm bill and Obamas budget to fund additional payments. I'm reluctant to do so, both as relatively new and verging on conflict of interest (used to work in FSA).--Bill Harshaw (talk) 23:32, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
References
editAbout half of the references in this article are to "Susan A. Schneider, Food, Farming, and Sustainability (2011)." This is a 754 page book. References to the book without page numbers aren't really references at all. Without these page numbers, every assertion in the article citing the book should be removed. I wonder if these aren't really just vanity citations or perhaps only ads for the book.
I note that other references cited, e.g. references 2 and 12, lead to 404 "not found" errors. The four references in ref 14 lead to error messages as well.
Large parts of this article (e.g. starting with "The Pigford consent decree established.... and continuing for about 15 lines to "or through the USDA administrative process.") are actually plagiarized word for word from the External Links reference to "Cowan, Tadlock (2010-04-21). "The Pigford Case: USDA Settlement of a Discrimination Suit by Black Farmers". Congressional Research Service."
Finally, I note that the name "Obama" appears nowhere in the article, while the New York Times article has no fewer than 10 mentions. He and his appointees were heavily involved in this scandal.
This is unsupportable. DonSiano (talk) 20:21, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
References again
editAgree that references need to be improved with cites to other sources, in addition to pages in Schneider's work. There was extensive coverage of the suit and settlement, and it needs updating.Parkwells (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
