This article seems highly POV Caelarch 02:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- I agree (and I am not just saying that because I am a lawyer). It needs a bit more neutrality in describing the term. --Legis (talk - contribs) 07:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- POV in which direction? As the second sentence states, the term is pejorative. I created this as a stub because a stub is (usually) better than nothing; I have no specialist knowledge of the area so I judge myself incapable of making further substantive contributions. My cursory googling didn't turn up much in the way of detail. Contributions from experts are very welcome. The article Tort reform in the United States is longer but, judging from the tags, also POV.
- The term is critical, not perjorative. Why is it people who don't like criticism jump to calling the description of that criticism perjorative? 206.116.243.76 (talk) 22:32, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Just sayin'
editI re-read this article for the first time in a long time and I have to say, this is the sort of stuff Wikipedia does really well. A short article, but an excellent well sourced summary of the sources of the term, the debates about the use of the term and underlying stats. Short, readable, well-sourced and to the point - that's ideal for this sort of subject. I think most of the credit goes to User:Keri, so I just wanted to say "good job". --Legis (talk - contribs) 02:24, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
