Vandalism

Considering the blatant vandalism this page has endured, I think it should be locked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Longclaw 1-6 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

This was added in the midst of controversy and editors should be forewarned- changes since 5/2/2018 should be vetted

An American Judge with an Anglo-saxon name, born in Columbia without explanation, with a father and grandfather of the same name unexplained.

Events of today have not yet been posted- but it should be by a responsible contributor- why Longclaw is requesting actions suspect of being a political activist

I use Wikipedia because it provides answers and want to point out when it isn't — Preceding unsigned comment added by 40.140.201.66 (talk) 23:29, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

I concur. Just because Ellis' ruling was outrageously lenient (and an embarrassment to the entire American Judiciary), there's no reason to vandalize his page. The Fence Straddler (talk) 17:55, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 March 2019

Add the following to the end of the article: Prof. Lawrence Tribe, constitutional law at Harvard, tweeted the following in reaction to Judge Ellis's sentence of Manafort: Manafort’s 47-month sentence in ED Va is outrageously lenient. Judge Ellis has inexcusably perverted justice and the guidelines. His pretrial comments were a dead giveaway. 2605:E000:150B:41:78A6:4AD0:959E:C3B9 (talk) 06:30, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. DannyS712 (talk) 06:33, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

I removed "sourcing" and "undue" tags

@Coffeeandcrumbs: I removed tags you recently added that do not seem justified. The article is not undersourced and does not overuse primary sources. It has 24 sources, virtually all secondary, and AFAICS every paragraph has at least one source. And I do not see the “undue weight” that is alleged. Open for discussion of course. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:19, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps I overdid it. But the page is slanted towards more recent events and themes. I have placed more specific tags indicating my concerns.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 17:46, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
