The sentence "But Sheindlin was becoming a rising star, and her fame was spreading." at the end of the Law career section is peacocky and unneeded, IMO.
I'm not so sure. I included that as a sort of transition into the next section, and to inform readers that her fame was indeed spreading. Happyme22 (talk) 01:35, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
I agree that something like this would make a good transition. However, "rising star" and "fame was spreading" are unencyclopedic. Perhaps change it to something like "After her retirement, Sheindlin continued to receive increasing amounts of public attention."
I've added a fact tag in one place where I would like to see a reference.
I have hopefully resolved that. The divorce is a well-known fact, but the motives were indeed uncited and I cannot seem to find one at this time. Happyme22 (talk) 01:46, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
This actually looks to be published by MSN Movies, and written by someone else. How is this reliable?
You are correct. I was confusing this with another source. No matter, though, because I have removed the reference altogether. Happyme22 (talk) 23:26, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
While Ref #4 (Judgejudy.com) is reliable for non-controversial facts about her (where she got her law degree, how many kids she has), it is not reliable for claims made about her (such as the last two sentences of the second paragraph of the Law career section) and as such should be replaced in these latter instances.
I disagree. This is the official biography of Judge Judy and as such I see nothing wrong with citing it for what seems to be significant and important achievements in Sheindlin's career. Happyme22 (talk) 01:46, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Errrr, yes. Except that it's a biography on a website that is promoting her and her show. That means that everything is going to be shown in the most favorable light possible. Here are the exact phrases I have problems with being cited to this website, and the reasons:
She earned a reputation as one of New York's toughest judges. - If she's the only one saying she has this reputation, then it's not a very solid reputation. If an independent source said she has a reputation, that's one thing; if she says she has a reputation, that's a completely different thing.
Sheindlin is credited with pioneering the idea of an "open court policy", which allowed members of the public and the media to view the proceedings of court, an uncommon practice. - Really? Who credits her with this?
The rest of the things being cited to this I have no problem with, because they are either non-controversial or personal information that she has no reason to try to fudge. However, the above two statements are mainly opinion, and citing an outside opinion (reputation, being credited with something) to the person in question is just asking for it to be biased towards the person giving you the information.
There are a few prose/MOS and referencing issues with this article, so I am placing the review on hold for now. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 01:21, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Sheindlin has recently been involved in a legal dispute over packaging fees for the show. Coverage of this should be added. It's complicated and I haven't been following it so I won't do it myself.Bill (talk) 17:42, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
