An IP user made an edit that deleted the content within the Political background section in a very improper manner:
removal of cited content
removal of an entire section without discussing it here
and typing in two words under the section heading made it look like vandalism
there was no identification of what was problematic, which would be much better - with citation needed tags, or {{Inline cleanup tags}} that challenge the veracity of the information.
But, I looked at the comment in their edit summary "this information was all false. As a proffesional in this field I feel that this MISINFORMATION should NOT be posted publicly on a website where kids and adults alike trust to give accurate info."
And have a couple of comments:
There was a discussion about different bribes that judges would receive... which was not discussed at all in the cited source. I revised the sentence to discuss what was on that page: personal liberty laws. I am guessing someone changed the wording and kept the original citation - because personal liberty laws are very appropriate in that paragraph.
The entire first paragraph is not cited, and I am not sure about the statistics - that's the only thing that jumps out at me. I will look for sources.
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Done now with this version. I am not finding anything else to be questionable, but if I missed something, please say so.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:19, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
