Films?

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

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

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]

Why is a (selected) client list not appropriate? --Nbauman (talk) 17:17, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
