I'm the editor responsible for bringing this article from this to this. If you're confused about something while editing this article drop a note on my talk page. -- Psych less 02:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I think this article still needs some work to be considered GA. Acdixon 14:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
The article is more comprehensive now, but the part from 1840-1846 is unconvincing. It needs to tell us what he did in those times, rather than just mark out the dates of each of his terms. If nothing useful happened, then the paragraph should be condensed to say that he had two consecutive terms instead of the date of every single term. There should be something interesting about teh election campaign at least? I don't think the exact date is necessary if there is nothing interesting about the period. Is there a reason why his family moved across the country? The sentences in the last section are very short and need to flow more logically. It appears to be a set of dot points strung together at the moment. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 03:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
I hoped this helped address some of your concerns. Psych less 01:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force.

Done, slightly, per the following new source, although the section should be greatly expanded.Mike Moffitt (December 7, 2020). "Hastings Law balks at name change despite founder's role in genocide". SFGate. I will also look into how to nominate this article for reassessment as a good article. I can't imagine how it would be a good article if it omits details of what is probably the most notable thing about this person – being a major genocidal figure is probably more significant than being a judge or founding a law school - Wikidemon ( talk) 16:12, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
I do not believe this biographical article meets the criteria for a good article, given the relative lack of coverage of the subject's being a significant participant in the California genocide. The article covers Hastings' career as a judge, and founding his namesake institution, one of the major US law schools. However, apart from a minor mention I just added as a placeholder, [1] the article does not cover his personal participation in the murder of dozens and perhaps hundreds of innocent Native American men, women, and children, on an ongoing basis during a span of years of his life on a forced labor camp he ran, as well as "Indian hunts" he organized. This is covered by major mainstream media articles and a commission created by his law school, so the verifiability and significance is not reasonably in dispute. This mostly unmentioned aspect of his life would appear to be one of the primary, if not the primary, biographically significant pieces of his life.
- Wikidemon ( talk) 16:28, 7 December 2020 (UTC) Per the main section above, I do not believe this article meets the criteria for a good article, given the relative lack of coverage of Hastings' being a major participant in California genocide. Although I did include a mention, it would take considerable effort to rewrite the article to reflect this history – not a quick fix. - Wikidemon ( talk) 16:28, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

I've done some editing of the section titled "Accused of Native American Genocide' to make it more readable -- but my edits don't imply that I think this section in its entirety. belongs in this article. This section describes the dispute about the college's name change. To my mind, a shorter text about this subject (such as the one I wrote earlier which was replaced by an enthusiastic editor) was better. But, I'm not going to throw a fit, and I will now hopefully depart from this article. Smallchief ( talk)
