[edit] large deletion 4/15/07
This was truncated in the edit description: -I undid a large deletion of many section including Publications, Faculty, Clinics, Student Groups, Alumni, etc. I agree with David, pages should be free of dizzying minutia, however, there is an alternative to broadly censoring huge swaths of information. Useful information about Journals, Alumni, Faculty, and programs are useful and regularly found on law school wikipedia pages. Refining, better articulating, and condensing this information would be more helpful than hastily wiping the slate clean. Anon penpal
- Hi. Unfortunately, the page looks like the law school's page, and this isn't what Wikipedia is here for. The history, the aim of the school, noteable faculty or programs (like The Innocence Project), etc. are fine for inclusion. But as it is now, all this information can be found on Cardozo's website. Wikipedia is not meant to be a mirror site of the law school's website, and I can't imagine Wikipedia being the first place a person goes to find out if there is a "Cardozo Democrats" club. Plus, everthing is red-linked. Are articles about every student group and faculty member really going to be written? Notable faculty are fine, but partners at law firms is a little ridiculous. It also makes the school look like it's small-time, to be honest. It's like "Look! We have partners at large law firms too!" You should take some cues from the Columbia Law School, Fordham Law School and NYU Law School pages. Right now, the Cardozo page looks junky with the odd placement of images and its inclusion of unnotable information. And that's the key: The information it includes needs to be notable. Every building and every person who has stepped foot in Cardozo is not notable. All schools have buildings. --David Shankbone 03:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- There are too many lists. See [[Wikipedia:List guideline}}; there is too much trivia - see WP:Trivia; the page doesn't follow the recommended layout - see Wikipedia:Guide to layout. I could continue to show the guidelines that this page doesn't follow, but these are good places to start. --David Shankbone 03:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion for Revision
This appears to be an opinion: "However, other well respected, and arguably more reliable, measures of law school quality suggest that U.S. News ranked Cardozo far too low."
One cannot objectively qualify "far too low." Other rankings can be presented, but such an assessment should not be made on their bases.

Added the advert tag. Parts of this article need to be revised, and opinions should be replaced with facts.
In response to the request to edit to make the article neutral: I would love to help, but I am not sure what you are reading as opinion that needs to be replaced with fact. Please point out what you perceive as opinion so that it can be removed or properly cited if it is indeed factual. 64.131.170.148 07:19, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Where did the number 50 come from? Does that include faculty? I don't think that can be right. ---- user:whisperednumber 11/18/2006 11:52 PM
hey whispered, I added the occasional papers again because I think they qualify as a formal publication. I realize that they are occasional, but many publications are just compilations of papers submitted at irregular intervals. Furthermore, I am not really sure where to include these papers if they are not included under the publication section. [1]
[edit] Photos
The haphazard placement of the photos under Location and facilities make the page look junky. --DavidShankBone 20:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
