With the developments surrounding Mangi's nomination around the time of writing this topic, I am seeing edits that I believe are meant to negatively portray Mangi and swing public opinion against him. This page is a biography of a living person and a summary of his career and his nomination to the federal judiciary. Making edits such as "Mangi moderated an event financed by an Islamic fundamentalist group" (as I have seen recently) are completely inappropriate and not in any way neutral. If you would like to discuss the controversies surrounding Mangi, there's an entire page for that: Joe Biden judicial appointment controversies That page is the appropriate page to discuss the controversies surrounding Mangi. There is no entry for Mangi as of writing on that page. Go talk about the controversies there; stop using this page to try and portray Mangi negatively.

Discussion of the facts about Mangi and about his nomination belong here on his Talk Page, and not across the galaxy merged with any number of unrelated people and issues; methinks you wish to bury it, otherwise, why suggest it? if you'd like to contribute to the Biden appointments page, by all means, do so. Also, "seeing edits that I believe are meant to negatively portray Mangi and swing public opinion against him" is your POV; if the edits are NPOV and have citations to reliable sources, there is nothing wrong with them here. If you have sources that provide further illumination, include them too. For example, from the Biden nominations controversies page: «"Later reporting revealed that Mangi had failed to disclose the fact that he moderated a panel in which a financier of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad participated.[106][107] Mangi later apologized to the Senate for his lack of reporting on the event, saying that it was an "inadvertent omission".» Why wouldn't that information belong on this page? You should be calling out the whitewashing of this page.
This article appears to have been targeted by anonymous editors identified only by IP addresses, as is the Alliance for Justice article. Mangi did not work to get Boudin out of jail. She was a member of an ad hoc group that targeted a Brinks van in 1981, where responding police officers were killed. This happened a few years after the Weather Underground became defunct. Boudin spent over 20 years in prison and was released in 2003. The Alliance article was described by the IP editor as a "leftist" group, but the term used in the source article which from an otherwise intact sentence in the copyvio attack, was a "liberal" group. This is unsurprising since there was a substantial organized effort by an anonymous group to make sure Mangi did not take the bench, despite his excellent qualifications, and to simultaneously smear by association both the Alliance and the Biden administration.
