It looks like there is a lot of activity back and forth among IP & some registered editors over whether several bits of info both negative and positive (the NPR story where he beats the "Stop and frisk" policy), often w/o any edit summary. I've edited this to include the secondary sources (which appear reliable) and removed the court docket search stuff. (Perhaps someone interested in the topic can research and update re: the disposition of his arrests...) Please include a rationale here, or within the edit summary, if you feel this needs to be changed. Roberticus ( talk) 14:18, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
The subject's criminal convictions, imprisonment and employment case is a matter of public record and was thoroughly covered in local and state media. Furthermore, the case precipitated legislation and discussion at the state-wide level by the Connecticut State Senate and the Connecticut Board of Regents. Attempts to erase this section and its multiple links to reliable, published sources in local and state media may be an attempt at editing by the subject of the article.

Not sure how to proceed, but the IP address that made the deletions, 155.143.7.252, is located in Sydney, Australia. According to both his Facebook [1] and twitter accounts [2], the subject of this article was in Sydney, Australia at the time of the edits. This seems to be in violation of the policy against self-editing of pages by subjects of articles? YeAntientistWeepingBeech ( talk) 04:28, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Fellow editors, I have redacted a section per WP:BLP, WP:BLPCRIME & WP:BLPPRIMARY. The article subject is not reasonably a WP:PUBLICFIGURE, and we are required to follow our policies w.r.t information on living persons. I note from the article history that a number of removals & inclusions of this or similar information have previously occured; but there does not appear to have been a consensus reaching discussion on this Talk page. Per WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE, please obtain consensus before adding the information again. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 04:00, 19 February 2016 (UTC) Amended WP:CRIME to WP:BLPCRIME - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 23:58, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Consensus was reached long ago and this page needs to be reverted to the version created by Cameron11598, which is in line with Wikipedia's BLP rules. The rest of the stuff is not justified by criminal records and the continual mention of "theft of school funds" is simply false.

Heart 09:55, 28 August 2018 (UTC)An edit war in going to add the following section to the article. But they are not providing any secondary sources and the content is also very promotional. Lets see what others say about this addition. - Editor General of Wiki ( talk) 03:39, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
One of the world's oldest electronic journals of the arts, was founded in 1999 by Ravi Shankar and Michael Mills, and has published the work of over 1,000 writers and artists from around the world.
On his collaboration with Alvin Pang from Singapore and his contribution for the success of Drunken Boat in Singapore Ravi Shankar was speaking in his interview for The Rumpus [1]
Drunken Boat is one of the first literary magazines to be published in digital format. And while a lot of poetry is published that way now, poets can move print runs up to the thousands in Singapore. Alvin Pang was really helpful, because when Drunken Boat began such a vast undertaking and decided to publish poetry from Central Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia, we of course couldn’t be experts in all of those regions. We had to find translators, arts organizations, and people who could help us know what was happening in the world of contemporary poetry in their particular countries. Alvin Pang was that person from Singapore. We became friends and I invited him to curate a folio for Drunken Boat on contemporary Singaporean literature.

The Controveries section states "[h]e was later arrested and found innocent in a few public cases" (emphasis added), however the cited articles don't seem to contain any mention of this; in fact, the linked Hartford Courant oped by the subject states the opposite: "In June, I pleaded guilty under the Alford doctrine to operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license and interfering with an officer." The other two articles cited by the sentence also mention convictions, but don't appear to have any mention of not guilty findings, dismissals, etc. (Further, I don't believe it is possible the US justice system to be 'found innocent', only not guilty.)
As such I will replace the 'found innocent' phrase with 'convicted' in this section, and add another reference that clearly states he was convicted of the DUI charge.
