the lawsuit documents
Instead of a link to the allegations of one of the party, the article should have had links to court rulings and lawsuit appeals (the only link was to the document presented by one of the parties, and there was no link to any other legal document). And, since this is a controversial case, it should be accompanied by other sources with analysis of the lawsuits, see Talk:Richie_Ramone

It's true that there are issues with the WP:COI conflict of interest guideline, but living persons biographies are covered by WP:BLP the policy biographies of living persons, and policies override guidelines. In particular this would be covered under BLP. (and, yeah, wikipedia has a bit of a problem with too much alphabet soup in its rules)

As a side note, you can click on the "new section" tab at the top of the page to start a new thread, and comments on talk pages are normally left at the bottom of the page where other editors expect to find them. --Enric Naval (talk) 19:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I forgot one point. For this sentence "The lawsuit sets precedent in regard to copyright infringement and artists' rights in the digital age.", you should find sources stating that it's an important precedence. If just state that on the article as a reason to include the lawsuit, it will be removed as a personal opinion unless you substantiate with an adequate source (imagine, just to give an example of a source that would probably be accepted without contest, an article on the Rolling Stones magazine explaning the copyright problems on the digital age, where the author mentions this lawsuit as an important precedent. Other possibilities of good sources are statements by national associations of management of artist copyrights like RIAA, or articles on journals of law about copyright). --Enric Naval (talk) 20:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
