Talk:Varsity Blues scandal

Navboxes
There's a collection of navboxes at the bottom of the article, but I don't even see this article mentioned in most of the navboxes. Should these be removed, or at least somehow collapsed/hidden so there's not a huge distraction at the bottom of the page? I thought that navboxes should only be added to articles included within the navbox, by definition... --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:52, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * At very least, the navboxes for Berkeley and Northwestern should be removed. Both schools were not involved or implicated in the scandal, only students who attended were involved without schools' knowledge. Gentry862 (talk) 16:10, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , I've removed all of them for now. If someone disagrees, we can discuss further. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:35, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

NORTHWESTERN
The Northwestern University charges were resolved. Because of the Older sister fraud at Georgetown, the DA's went after the younger sister at Northwestern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:642:4A80:35A0:59B4:7BB3:967F:4CC3 (talk) 18:50, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Northwestern
The younger sister at Northwestern was exonerated. No fraud was found and she was unnecessarily smeared by an overzealous DA. Please remove NU and her name from this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:642:4A80:35A0:59B4:7BB3:967F:4CC3 (talk) 18:53, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Significant information is omitted
Two sentences about Rick Singer say this:

"Singer pleaded guilty on March 12, 2019, in the U.S. District Court in Boston to four felony counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice for alerting a number of subjects to the investigation after he began cooperating with the government.[68] He faces up to 65 years in prison and a fine of $1.25 million."

This says nothing about when his actual sentencing is expected to be take place (or even whether he has already been sentenced, or not).

"He faces up to 65 years" means what, exactly? Nobody reading this knows what it means.

This significant information should not omitted from article. Surely something is known about the schedule for his actual sentencing.128.120.234.237 (talk) 01:49, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Another nit-pick about row-spans in the parents table
Sometimes two parents are listed in adjacent rows and a row span is used to associate their children together. But why are there row spans that associate children with unrelated parents. For example, Giannulli & Loughlin have two children, and Diane and Todd Blake have a daughter together. Davina and Bruce Isackson have a daughter together, but that is not obvious from the table. On the other hand, do Homayoun Zade and Robert Zangrillo have a daughter together? It could be assumed so from the row span, but without digging into the refs, who knows? Ditto Karen Littlefair and Marjorie Klapper. In other cases it looks like some children have multiple parents. I suggest that the row span is only used for children of two (or possible more) biological or adoptive parents.

On a related note, why are Elizabeth and Manuel Henriquez in a single table cell whereas other parents are in seperate cells.

 * agree can be confusing. I believe intent was to cover when parents were charged or sentenced together AND to denote when are parents of a student involved.Gentry862 (talk) 19:31, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
