Bad article
This is an example of a wiki article I really take issue with. The "criticism" section is extraordinarily tiny, for such a controversial figure. She's a tough-talking daytime TV judge, and the only criticism is a couple of lines from one source? I guarantee there's something better out there. Or at least more. Also, what's with the quotes? Some might be original (though most aren't), but regardless it's unnecessary. Put them on wikiquote. - Darkhawk
I think that the quotes are a good addition to the article. I thought that the quotes were actually the best part of the article because some of them were quite funny. If you take them off the article, it will be a bore to read. Most biographies on Misplaced Pages have quotes to show the person's character. Keep it where it is, it is fine.

Personally, I think the quotes are too lengthy. Perhaps, if they were culled down a bit? As it stands, that's a massive wall of quotes, many of which are not original or particularly memorable. I failed to log in the first time.

Also add:
“ | Sheindlin is a devoted fan of the TV series Law & Order. Attempts were made to secure her a guest role on the show, but the L&O producers declined, saying that she would be too recognizable as Judge Judy. | ” |

Vandalism
I noticed that someone completely removed the (wholly legitimate) criticisms section that I had added to the article. I will be reposting it when I get the time, and would greatly appreciate it if one of the users on this page could assist me.

Quotes
I take strong issue with the quotes section on this article. I edited a bit of the private life section, changing sentence structure for a more even flow. If it were my choice, I would remove the quote section all together. It does not seem appropriate for an encyclopedia article, and the list is becoming much too long. There have been several unregistered users simply adding humorous quotes to the already-ten-times-too-long list. While most of them are quotes used by Judy on her program, they are unnecessary, and contribute nothing to the article.
If such quotes would like to be kept on Misplaced Pages, this article is not the place for them. Judge Judy is a television show, and Judy's stereotypical quotes are merely part of acting. An actor's quotes in a television program are not considered his/her own personal quotes. If, for some reason, we have a dire interest in keeping the extensive list of quotes, they should, at minimum, be moved to the Judge Judy article.
Any opinions, concerns? Speak up, or I will feel free to transfer them. Tingalex 23:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Controversy?
Sorry to intrude here folks, but I think removing what little criticism and controversial material from this article was a complete whitewash. Judge Judy is famous presicely because of here contoversial views and authoritarian personality. To remove her views on both serious social and legal problems of the day is like talking about Stalin and neglecting to mention the purges or the Gulag. For an article about one of the most popular judges in America, to not talk about her social let alone legal views, seems odd to me (albeit, that doesn't count for much :) ).
