Joseph Stamler

... that Joseph Stamler allowed a lawsuit opposing mandatory school sex education to proceed, as the U.S. Constitution protects "the one person who is sincere in a conscientious religious conviction"? Source: [https://www.nytimes.com/1971/03/04/archives/judge-in-jersey-clears-a-suit-on-sex-education.html "A New Jersey Superior Court judge has refused to dismiss a legal challenge to a state law that requires attendance at sex education classes in communities that have voluntarily made them part of the curriculum.... He said the amendment had been adopted to 'protect the 1 per cent, the one individual, the one person who is sincere in a conscientious religious conviction.'"

@Alansohn: This is a comment for this nomination's reviewer as well. I can't verify that this is a page creation or 5-fold expansion because the previous versions were revision-suppressed due to copyright violations. Pinging @Darkwind: - maybe he can tell us how much prose was in the copyvio version? epicgenius (talk) 01:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

I don't have access to the deleted versions, but the versions subject to revdel included an almost word-for-word cut-and-paste from Stamler's obituary in The New York Times. There may have been more content (by character count) in the deleted versions than in the newest version before the copyvio, but my understanding was to treat this as a 5x from that version.

All right. Then I will review this tomorrow if I can. I asked for clarification at WT:DYK but no one has answered yet. epicgenius (talk) 04:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Moved from above:

According to the NY Times, that is how Stamler interpreted the U.S. Constitution, but ALT0 does not say this. How about...
- ALT1: ... that Joseph Stamler allowed a lawsuit opposing mandatory school sex education to proceed, stating that the U.S. Constitution protects "the one person who is sincere in a conscientious religious conviction"?

Epicgenius, I revised the article to address your concerns. My original version of ALT0 was closer to your ALT1. I appreciate your concern and would support ALT1. Alansohn (talk) 04:24, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for addressing these concerns. I'll just put ALT1 up there. This nom is good to go now. epicgenius (talk) 04:42, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but it does not appear that the image is correctly licensed. Scanning pictures does not make them freely licensed. Yoninah (talk) 00:35, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Yoninah, the picture predates my involvement and was commented out from the article. Alansohn (talk) 03:06, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

@Alansohn: Thank you. I also nominated the image for deletion at Commons. You did a very nice job with this biography. Restoring tick per epicgenius's review. Yoninah (talk) 11:09, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
