There's already a photo … so I've removed the request for a photo, as it is obviously not needed. Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 04:36, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Legacy" partly copies (even verbatim) information from earlier sections. There are some more details, but (a) these are either minor; or (b) they are tangential to the importance of Wright's central achievements. I would actually completely delete the section; WP is not a "details warehouse for everything". But before doing this, I ask hereabouts ... maybe someone has alternative ideas. --User:Haraldmmueller 14:55, 17 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'd support the Legacy section being removed in its entirety. It's obvious this article was written by the subject or someone close to them, perhaps a family member. It still reads like an autobiography hastily rewritten to be in the third person, despite the efforts of multiple editors such as myself. Kronix1986 (talk) 19:33, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

An issue I have with this article is reliable sources that back the statements in Arrest and incarceration section.
"Wright formulated a new legal theory..." it appears that State v. Alexander, 264 N.J.Super 102 (1993) was used as the basis to dismiss the Kingpin charge but the article seems to indicate that Wright had something to do the decision of State v. Alexander.
"Dugan pled guilty to official misconduct in order to escape prison." What reliable source states this?
"right’s trial judge, Michael Imbriani, who further concealed the secret..." No source states this.
" On that date, Wright became the first and only person in the US history to have been sentenced to life in prison, securing his own release and exoneration..." The [1] states he and his lawyer, and none of the sources corroborate that statement.Yousef Raz (talk) 01:46, 4 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
