Do we have cites for these, besides SmartVoter? Thanks. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 14:35, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
There are many 'controversies' which are left hanging in wikipedia's prose. There was a lawsuit about preferential treatment. What happened? Convicted? Dismissed? Ongoing? Wikipedia should not let readers guess the outcomes. :-) We should state the outocmes, when known, and state that the case is ongoin, "as of 2014" or whenever we last heard. The fact that the case was WP:NOTEWORTHY is shown by the cites to newspapers and teevee and such... but per WP:PRIMARY we can use court-documents "with care" if the actual outcome was not reported in the papers. Thanks for improving wikipedia, folks. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 14:35, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
