A fact from Gerald Garson appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 August 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Gerald Garson, a New York Supreme Court Justice who was later convicted of accepting bribes, assured the lawyer bribing him: “Justice is being done”?

NPOV/sources

Some pretty important assertions being made here. Needs to have sources attached to them. Highfructosecornsyrup 22:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Middle initial in title

Is there some reason this article is not titled Gerald Garson? --Fang Aili 22:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

It's been remedied. Ruthfulbarbarity 18:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Sources

Might use this space to collect a couple more possible sources to improve/expand this article. Avruch 02:36, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Tone

Much of this article has a non-encyclopedic tone reminiscent of a "true crimes" magazine, including un-encyclopedic slang terms, sentence fragments, and dramatic development. In addition, the details of the sting and prosecution greatly dominate what purports to be a biographical article (even a picture of the courthouse). This might better be divided into two articles, one a biography and the other about the sting), or the breathless details edited down until the criminal case occupies a space proportional to its significance in the career of the person whose name is the article's title. Yes, it's an important aspect of his life, but it isn't 8/9ths of it. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 22:31, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
