I'm absolutely baffled that a Wikipedia admin would revert edits based on a note that references to Judge Faber's legal opinions - which are necessarily housed outside Wikipedia because they originate from the courts or court reporting services cited - are "unsourced" because "outside links don't cut it." Wikipedia is no original source of federal judicial opinions, so external links are necessary to cite reliable references, as I did (including either direct links to the First Circuit and Supreme Court of the United States or unobjectionable case law reporting websites). The shoddiness of these edits is underscored by Bbb23's removal of the official title "Judge" from references to Judge Faber in the article. That official title only ever fails to appear before the last name of a federal judge if someone lacking in knowledge about the legal system is referring to the person. This should be resolved by dispute resolution if necessary. Adamntabor (talk) 03:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
