Notice[edit]

To those who are adding the section: "Notorious Cases" - "United States V. Marco Fidel Castellar".

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a public forum in which our personal opinions about a "case" are to be discussed. It is required that all additions are welcomed as long as a "reliable verifiable" source is provided and cited. Those are the established rules in Wikipedia. It doesn't matter if the information in the person's Bio is negative or positive, or if the person adding the information has a personal agenda against the subject in question, as long as there is a reliable verifiable source that can proof the person's allegations. Those editing Wikipedia "must" follow the rules, otherwise their insistence of adding material without any evidence to back them up may be deemed as POV or vandalism and the person may be blocked from editing. I agree that both the good and the bad should be added to an article, however my concern here is that our rules be followed. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia College vs. Columbia University[edit]

It seems that both Wallnot (talk · contribs) and I have the same concern over recent edits of Snickers2686 (talk · contribs) on categorizing Judge Cabranes' education category. Based on my research, there is a preponderance of evidence, including a New York Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/1979/12/21/archives/a-puerto-rican-for-the-federal-court-jose-alberto-cabranes.html), an official biography on his federal judge page (https://coop.ca2.uscourts.gov/judges/bios/jac.html), and numerous alumni magazine articles and profiles, including his keynote address in one of Columbia's events (http://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/archives/vol20/vol20_iss25/record2025.14.html), showing that he graduated from Columbia College, the undergraduate liberal arts college of Columbia University. To Snickers 2686: You insisted in a number of edit reversals that these evidence are "incorrect" and argued under my comment on your talk page that the biographies of the Federal Judicial Center should take precedence. However I cannot find Wikipedia policy that substantiates your claim and I am unsure if this is a consensus established by Wikipedia editors. Since you have not responded to my comments and my questions, it would be nice if you can provide some justification as to why they should be categorized as Columbia University alumni and not Columbia College (New York) alumni.
