Talk:Robert H. Jackson

message: I do not really see why the Jackson article should contain an at length discussion about the Rehnquist memo.
The controversy was about Rehnquist and his attempts at attribution, not about Jackson. This is all discussed in the Rehnquist article.
Yes, the memo was written for Jackson; but then so were hundreds of other memos. The Rehnquist article rightly contains a paragraph long discussion on the memo. While a mention of the controversy and a link to the Rehnquist article might be appropriate, a lengthy discussion (longer than the far more relevant Black-Jackson feud, as it stands now) seems out of place to me.

replies: text: I agree that the Rehnquist article should discuss it in much greater detail; if you feel you can trim it down appropriately, go ahead, as long as you don't remove it entirely.  Postdlf 17:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Did this man have a family? Parents, wife, children or something? To me it seems like he came from space without any human relationsips. This whole article is jst about his work. Family facts are sadly not included. 89.51.158.22 09:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The most recent addtiion (June 14 2007) is out of place in the sequence of the article. The cables to Truman are mentioned later on, in their proper chronological place. It should be moved to its proper place, and repeated matters should be removed (e.g., the contents of the cable). In addition, it seems to contain a fair amount of POV comments.

thread_title:  Most recent addition on feud with Black 

message: This article has been greatly revised since the last time I read it.  It is no longer presented in a clear, chronological fashion.  Furthermore, it appears to be biased against Justice Black.  With the numerous citations and use of ibid, it almost seems like the individual whom revised the article was copying and pasting portions of a research paper.  This article needs extensive clean-up to maintain a more neutral standing.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.160.140.209 (talk) 20:27, August 20, 2007 (UTC) 
I have begun with some tentative reorganization.  This was done by deleting most of the research paper that was dumped in here (although the part on Dennis, though it needs to be reworked, may prove useful).  We now have only one section each on the feud with Black, and on the Nuremberg trials. --Max power 17:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: References that say things like "Id. at 230." must be changed to be intelligible even if the order of the references is moved around.  This is very poor style in a frequently edited encyclopedia, and is officially deprecated.  Would someone that actually knows for certain which ref these sources belong to please correct them?

message: The sentence "He passed the New York bar examination in 1913 at the age of twenty-one, and then joined a law practice in Jamestown." has a citation that only gives evidence for being on the bar in 1913 and for joining the law practice in Jamestown. There is no information about passing the bar exam. In the opening, it is stated that "He was admitted to the bar via the older tradition of reading law under an established lawyer". Thus, he did not need to pass the bar exam to join the bar. I have added citation needed tags to both of these statements, because they may be contradictory with each other, and neither is cited. 107.196.29.81 (talk) 13:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
