message: This article is an abominable mess, yet every time a significant attempt is made to improve or clean it up, the edits get reverted. I’m not sure why certain people are so intent on keeping this article in such terrible shape.  The specific issues needing improvement are as follows: 
(1)	This article is littered with a ton of irrelevant information. How is it relevant that Jew was in a motorcycle accident as a child, or has a brother named David? These extraneous details do not serve the article at all, they simply bog it down. 
(2)	The ‘personal life’ section is a grammatical mess. It’s not even clear when it’s referring to Jew or to his grandfather. Meaningless sentences such as “he was raised by his parents” boggle the mind.
(3)	There is absolutely no reason to summarize every single blow-by-blow of Jew’s investigation and trial, i.e. what his attorney said each day, the fact that he switched attorneys, every document produced by each side, etc. It is numbing and obfuscating to read. As an attorney myself, I would NEVER write a brief this way. It is tedious, shoddy writing. Only the main points of the investigation and trial should be covered.
(4)	The bloated introduction MUST be pared down. The argument that “lead section is supposed to summarize the whole article” is nonsense; no other Wikipedia article summarizes itself like this. The introduction should NOT contain where he went to college, or detail his entire political rise. All that information that belongs in the main article.
It’s frustrating that a conversation needs to happen in order to make these changes. Please STOP reverting every good faith effort to clean up this article. This is easily one of the worst politician articles on Wikipedia, and the reversions are keeping it that way. 209.150.70.134 (talk) 21:48, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You seem to be under the impression that I've reverted every change you made. Please read the article again. That is not true. I only made small changes.  For example, Jew having a motorcycle accident isn't in the my version anymore. But I did restore the bit on his brother, which is not irrelevant IMO. Take a look at Barack Obama, one of Wikipedia's best articles. It mentions his half sister briefly. The change you made to remove the blow-by-blow of Jew’s investigation wash't restored. I agree with you on this.The introduction according to WP:LEAD has to "summarize the whole article”. Please respect that guideline. Take a look at Barack Obama again, the intro there summarizes the whole article. Your claim that "no other Wikipedia article summarizes itself like this." is inaccurate. That said, I will await your response before restoring the intro.—Chris!c/t 22:54, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've restored the lead and the bit about his brother.. I assumed you have read my response above and have no problem with my edit anymore. Though feel free to keep on cleaning up the article. Thanks.—Chris!c/t 04:16, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
