Talk:Rod Pacheco

October 2009

I just rollback reverted a huge addition of unsourced text. That was an error, I meant to hit undo and leave an edit summary. My objection to the addition is that it is entirely unsourced, negative in tone, and purports to give the information from a recently-filed lawsuit. Allegations in a lawsuit do not constitute reliable sources that the events occurred. If reported by a reliable source, the fact of the lawsuit, and (much smaller) summary of the allegations may be appropriate, with due consideration for WP:NPOV, especially WP:UNDUE.

I was thinking of reverting the edits myself, or possibly summarizing. It appears the text was a copy of a Press Enterprise article titled: Riverside County DA sued by former prosecutor. MissionInn.Jim (talk) 14:33, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I like the summary. I tweaked it a bit, but at this point I think that is a good level of detail for the allegations. Anyone can file a civil suit and make any claims that they want. If there is a judgment or settlement covered by reliable sources, then we'll be in a position to add more. Thanks for the addition.
