Dershowitz material edit

A brand-new user has crammed the article full of quotes from Alan Dershowitz about how Trump did nothing wrong. It is not only UNDUE (about half the article as of now) but sourced to unreliable sources (Washington Examiner and an op-ed piece). It's also probably copied from somewhere else (because of the footnotes included in the copy-paste) but I couldn't find a likely source. So I deleted it intending to replace it with a DUE-sized summary of Dershowitz's points from a more reliable source [1]. The brand-new user promptly re-inserted the material. Forget it; I'm not going to edit war over this. The article is hopeless anyhow and soon to be deleted; this just made it a little more hopeless. --MelanieN (talk) 04:16, 12 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Wanted to loop in Guanaco, as I see in edit summary you've kindly offered to work on the DUE issue--before you put a lot of work into it, I just want to make sure you know there's already a section on legal commentary on this topic over at what's likely about to become the target page for this when the AfD closes. Totally up to you if you want to work on it here in the meantime, just wanted to alert you. Innisfree987 (talk) 04:55, 12 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I'll take a look over there and see if I can help. I didn't put a lot of effort into fixing the flow because it'll almost certainly be redirected/merged. It's slightly more fair and balanced now. —Guanaco 05:01, 12 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
You actually did a remarkable job trimming it, Guanaco; I congratulate you. Want to bet the newbie reverts again? If so, who's going to put the 3RR warning on his page? Not me, I'm going to bed. --MelanieN (talk) 05:05, 12 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
