I've added Template:more citations needed and Template:primary sources to the article, since there are a few paragraphs with no references and the article heavily relies on the Ryan affirmation. The latter concern is, I think, less critical, but I want to flag it: The Ryan affirmation is cited roughly 40 times—by far it is the most-cited reference in the article. There are a couple paragraph that rely on it almost to exclusion of everything else—the vacatur section, in my estimation, is particularly too-reliant on the affirmation, since the affirmation is being cited as a source for its own contents—again, not an egregious issue, but I think secondary sources discussing the affirmation could likely be found.--Jerome Frank Disciple (talk) 16:28, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

There appears to be a dispute over whether the main template should say "exonerated" or "vacated". I would argue:
That nothing should mentioned in the "accused" section of the template—on that point I actually do feel relatively strongly. I can't find other examples where an outcome is paired with "Accused"—and doing so is putting the cart before the horse. I other cases, we don't say "(all found not guilty)" or "(all found guilty)" on comparable pages. The result of the case, including the ultimate vacatur, is discussed in the Verdict section.
That "vacated" should be the term used. Here, I don't feel particularly strongly, but the technical legal term would be "vacated", and we have reliable sources describing the court as doing just that.

I saw this appears in the article: "The Central Park events, which were attributed at the time to members of the large group of youths who attacked numerous persons in the park, including whites, blacks and browns and yellows." are "browns and yellows" really the terms wikipedia wants to use?
