charged to do. That's even something that I was not aware of and I'm sure a longways past high school age. You removed my sourcing and added the NYT ref to establish that there was a company split. I did not feel that I needed to source that fact because I do not feel it would be doubted since I wikilinked the split article. But the fact that Monsanto is still responsible for cleanups, as stated in the primary source I supplied, is now unsourced and any editor can come along in a few days or weeks and remove it. IMO you are being disruptive when you continue to ignore the arguments that have been offered re the primary source and continue to insist that I need to find sources that meet your approval. I'm going to return the primary source and the blog source that I supplied. According to our guidelines, blogs are acceptable in some instances. In this case I am using a source that has been
808:
obstructionist to me. Your comment right here is a prime example of not working well with others, and it's affecting quality of articles. I do appreciate your focus on good sourcing, but right here we have an example with reasonably good sourcing and you're still holding this line. Yes, thousands of lawsuits are filed every day, but not all of them are reported in multiple media sources, like these particular lawsuits regarding PCB contamination. Sometimes the filing matters as well as the outcome. If you don't acknolwedge these points, but just repeat a general rule as if it's Knowledge (XXG) policy, then i think you're misrepresenting Knowledge (XXG) policy.
2227:, your argument above that primary sources are "discouraged" is specious. The policy you quoted above simply cautions editors to not engage in independent analysis or interpretation of primary sources. In fact, the policy does not use the word "discouraged" and the policy does not say primary sources should not be used. Here, the SEC filing is a reliable source and there is no analysis or interpretation of the source material. All we have is a direct quotation from the original. What is so controversial about this? The source violates no policy and it should be included. -- 1569:
responding to some people's direct questioning of your assertions that lawsuits in progress are never included in Knowledge (XXG), and i was using dialogue as a way to resolve disputes and i don't need a lecture on this, thank you. If you'd respond with more integrity in your part of the dialogue, we'd have this dispute already resolved. And yes, i know about NOTNEWS and UNDUE for the 10th time, and i think with all my heart and mind that this inclusion still qualifies, and i think you're being unduly oppositional about it.
31: 2617:(edit conflict -- had not yet read Pete's comment) Yes, and I'd also like to say this: If one is going to bother to make edits and comment on the talk pages, they need to be willing to spend the time needed to learn what they are commenting about rather than say things like "the SEC document is about as clear as a harbour full of toxic mud" when it is quite clear. By Pete's responses, it seems to me that he has not been willing to do this. 357:
had been arrived at. I don't care about spinning this to follow any particular agenda, so if anyone wants to add more to the case about PCBs and their health risks, that's fine. On the con side, there's not a great number of good sources. It's basically one St Louis media outlet and a few bloggy/fringey/ratbag sites. Some of the latter, I notice with amusement, make much of the case being launched but not so much said about the outcome. --
1228:. What is the significance -- why does it matter to anybody or anything in the real world? I get it that it pleases advocates, but we are not here to please advocates. I look forward to some reasonable discussion about why mention of the filings is not UNDUE other than their mention in reliable sources (this is a question about WEIGHT, not the reliability of sources). I really am open to reasoned arguments about encyclopedic value. 1025:. We almost always require each entry in such a list to have its own article. Monsanto Legal Cases, however, is not a list article. In its current non-list format, it covers cases and details that don't have their own articles, and as such, addition of well-referenced in-progress cases is warranted. I agree with TSavage that filings of lawsuits cannot be dismissed as categorically non-noteworthy- as long as there is significant 2775:
listed have stirred up one of the better shitstorms I've seen, and we're about as far from consensus as ever. My impression is that some (but by no means all) participants have dogmatic views when the topic is Monsanto, and earthly things such as wikipolicy are merely obstacles to be overcome. I can be persuaded by facts and reason, and I'll readily acknowledge when I'm in the wrong. But circular arguments, obfuscation, and
292:
PCB-related death or injury, and the defendants won. Nothing special there, PCB cases happened decades ago. The article already notes that "Monsanto faced several lawsuits over harm caused by PCBs" in the 1990s, and treats them colletively, without detail. I'm curious as to why this one case gets specifically covered, but doesn't get more detailed coverage per the sources. I am asking of you what you've asked of others.

business liabilities. So this would seem to be a new development in an ongoing Monsanto corporate and legal story, about how it has reinvented itself over the last couple of decades, retaining the name and the ag business, and ditching the chem and pharmaceutical parts of original Monsanto, while becoming an all-new corporate entity, and how the new Monsanto is dealing with ongoing problems from its past. --

received significant mainstream media coverage for whatever reason (probably as a novelty news item, and our content would note it as such). On the other hand, a case hitting to the heart of a company's business is by definition noteworthy - an argument for exclusion could be based on not giving it undue weight, but that is a tough sell in a daughter article dedicated to...cases concerning that company.
1282:
involvement and relations to the world at large. Your resistance to its inclusion is what puzzles me. Completeness is a desired goal for an encyclopedia. Readers can draw their own conclusions better if there is a balanced and complete view in the articles they use. If there is a filtered blocking of some aspects, that creates a bias.
1616:
regardless of their chances or legitimacy, they are part of a long and extensively covered issue, the legal and environmental fallout from pcb contamination, going back at least to the GE Hudson River contamination. The existence of such cases shows that this issue has not gone away for large corporations including Monsanto.

point of filing onward, is quite common. On what are you basing that our standard practice is to exclude lawsuits that have not been decided (ignoring the fact that this article already contains detailed coverage of one such pending case, for no outstanding reason other than that it is within the scope of the article)?

to simply close the conversation. Please either take the meta-discussion to the current RfC discussion if relevant to a certain point, or open a new section (on a user talk page if you are primarily interested in Pete's views as you indicate) to keep this section streamlined to show the content itself is resolved.
2647:
the use of this WP policy and that WP policy and to be told that his/her suggestions were just WP:FART ideas (a new one to me, indeed) should be given special honors. Most of us would have quit our efforts long ago, I know I would have, and it is good to see that at least one editor just kept plugging along.
1905:"Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Knowledge (XXG) ... to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." 2924:
The better option, which would have been more appropriate as I just did, is just hat the comment. Anyone can see it if they uncollapse this, but it's not relevant to the talk page conversation, so this is also an indication not to post in this collapsed section. All threaded comments should have been

I looked over the SEC document and found it reasonably opaque. A pointer to the exact part of the reference would have helped. I didn't see it amongst the legalese. In fact, my understanding was that the SEC document was a reference for the Monsanto split-up alone. However, that doesn't eliminate the
2470:
Pete, as you know one of our goals here is to make our articles easy enough to understand for even kids in high school. Since Monsanto is now more ag-related I thought that it would help the reader to understand that they used to make chemicals and are still responsible for any cleanup that they are
1709:
Skyring, unless you want me to file an edit warring case, I suggest you restore this material until this discussion concludes. Removal of reliable sources without prior discussion is not acceptable, and the SEC is certainly a reliable source. Per BRD, you've made a change and it has been reverted. It

You are literally just making up things to say now. It is not the "heart" of their business and no new
719:
The focus isn't related to content improvements suggested in this section. It makes encyclopedia building difficult when a discussion is opened on specific content, the content is resolved, but tangential conversation continues unrelated to any ongoing issue with the content. That is usually the time
654:
If you're commenting here solely in support of including/keeping the St. Louis County item, you are the one on a tangent - this section is discussing Skyring/Pete's criteria for inclusion. No-one is trying to remove the content. I assumed your joining in, and that fact that you take the same position
291:
You've unilaterally included content, I am asking what are your grounds for noteworthiness? There have been many lawsuits against Monsanto, including class action suits, what makes this one stand out? From your entry, there is nothing outstanding, except that there was a case looking for damages from
234:
Skyring/Pete: The point is, per your extensive comments here about item quality and selection, what criteria did you use to select this item from all other less noteworthy Monsanto cases, as the information you included dies not indicate anything but the fact that it's Monsanto and there are sources?
2543:
OK. I stand corrected there. Thanks. I see the blog references the SEC document. However, the SEC document is about as clear as a harbour full of toxic mud. I can't see where Monsanto is assuming the liability for cleanups. I'm guessing that, unless you are a legal whiz, you are just taking the blog
2194:
I'm not sure why you are so convinced the SEC filing is an inappropriate source to substantiate the quotation about the 2008 settlement. There is nothing unreliable about the source, and it is much more authoritative than an article by a reporter, who will inevitably put their own spin on the events

Coverage of multiple large metropolitan areas suing a large corporation is not by any reasonable standard routine news reporting. These cases matter because
1469:
Do i read this right as you wishing that i would go away and do other things? Or are you referring to yourself here? If one gives in to filibustering and other bad tactics, then one allows this pattern to continue and bias the encyclopedia as a whole, so when one encounters a problem of this nature,
1362:
I think i gave you an answer to the question you asked, and you chose not to hear it in typical fashion. You also ignored my very explicit question and call-out about the incompleteness of the dialogue in which you seem unable to acknowledge your mistake in asserting that lawsuits cannot be included
1285:
Note, i find it rather odd that you participate in this discussion without referring to the open question about your promotion of the notion that lawsuits are not included in Knowledge (XXG) as a matter of policy and practice, which i and others have here questioned. I wonder if you'd answer to that
356:
As indicated above, I looked at the sources, checked that they were reliable, noted that the trial had had a month of proceedings (given the American legal system, that's some serious money being spent by both sides, so it's more than just the buck fifty it costs to file a case), and that an outcome

article. Feel free to add the SEC link to the NYT if you really think it needs it. The second sentence about Monsanto-ag bearing responsibility for Monsanto-chem's actions is more problematic, as Monsanto's media release on these cases we're talking about above specifically denies responsibility on
2298:
This is a moot point, now that the SEC source has been restored, but no one was arguing that the NYT source should be removed. We were simply stating that the SEC source should be included as a reliable primary source. Also, you really need to stop using crude (and again, arguably sexist) language.
1642:
coverage from multiple major mainstream news outlets (that is, articles about it specifically), I think that that's a sign that it's worth a mention. Remember that this is the "Monsanto legal cases" page, so the standard to put a lawsuit here is lower than it would be on the Monsanto page itself.

951:
Fine, but that does not answer my question (to Jytdog), concerning filings of lawsuits being categorically non-noteworthy. If we're discussing content, we should try not to muddy the waters with claims about what editors can and can't do based on personal opinion. I've encountered this way too much
521:
In a nutshell, that is what Jytdog, Skyring/Pete, and you are arguing here, yet the view of several editors in the current cities/PCB RfC does not seem to support that position. Also, as I illustrated earlier, both in Knowledge (XXG) and in reputable media, reporting on pending litigation, from the
2774:
Sagerad's contributions haven't earnt any glowing praise here. He tried to get a private lawsuit included when it had no adequate sourcing and had already been the subject of a COI discussion, when it emerged that the lawyer filing the case was editing here. His attempts to get these two PCB cases
2646:
I hesitated to take this talk page on because I am well aware that it can take many hours of research to make intelligent responses on the talk page and make reasonable edits to the article. It is my impression that editor Sage Red did his/her research and was not willing to be frightened away by
1377:
I say it again, you seem to be obstinately obstructionist and willfully thick in your dialogue behavior, and i hold that you are disruptive to the smoother functioning of this editorial process. I ask you to have integrity here. This simple edit should not be taking hours of debate, but it is, and
1373:
As for encyclopedic value, it's part of the real world that Knowledge (XXG) reflects, and when someone comes to this page, this is what they'd expect to find here. A fairly complete list of notable legal cases involving Monsanto. So... for completeness, for representation of the world, it's a good
466:
I made no comment on Tsavage's points, just that it the case would meet the bar for inclusion here, nothing more. That being said, I changed the content to include county as anyone would have been able to do. I have a preference for keeping things short, so I like the concise statement (though the
1020:
To a large extent, coverage establishes notability. Lawsuits are not inherently notable. If the filing and/or early stages of a lawsuit are covered by multiple reliable sources, I see that as substantial enough for a mention in a larger article. The bar here is lower than having an entire article
1933:
Knowledge (XXG) articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and to avoid novel interpretations of primary sources. All analyses and

is not automatically considered a negative; covering things rapidly as they happen is part of what makes Knowledge (XXG) valuable, too. In this case, it will be easy to remove the sentence or so mentioning these lawsuits later down the line if they turn out to have little overall significance.
543:
In addition, in this St. Louis County example, how did the decision affect assessment of due weight? In the article, it seems wins, losses, dismissals and settlements, with Monsanto as plaintiff and as defendant, are all covered similarly, reliable sourcing seems to be the only evident inclusion
2528:
No that is not their argument. Monsanto is arguing that the companies that bought their products are responsible. As for the blog, yes I agree that my source would not be adequate to stand alone, however I have provided the primary source which is in this case appropriate, which several other

In my opinion, same difference. Whether the fact of the lawsuit is of enough significance in the world to warrant inclusion in this article. You can't dance around the issue with semantic wordplay. Yes, it's common for editors to disagree on application of policy to content, but i don't see you
1413:
For the 10th time, i know that Knowledge (XXG) does not include everything, and that is why i have referred repeatedly to significant coverage in reliable news sources that show that this is something of note in the world at large and is due here in this article. However, "completeness" is most

Deciding whether a filing is noteworthy would seem to be mainly a based on relevance to the subject of the article. For example, a case of a single homeowner suing over claims of excessive disturbance from one of a company's many facilities would probably not be considered noteworthy, unless it
696:
The discussion here is squarely focused on content improvement, concerning how one piece of content's selection criteria relates to a current RfC. Editors have engaged civilly. If you choose not to participate, fine, no need to chide others or try to impose your view of how discussion should be
848:
That's your reckoning. There's clear obstructionism here. Let's take the present question as its own question. You can drop the stick. I ain't kicking up the drama. The drama's here already. I'm standing up for principle and working out what it means through dialogue, and using Knowledge (XXG)
593:
Trying to assume you aren't talking about editor POV issues, I'm not sure what you mean by "unwanted" related to content. In this case, we have a completed case with a noteworthy finding according to sources that meets weight requirements as opposed to a broad rejection of the suit without any
1344:? If this becomes some huge dragged out battle, it could become noteworthy. If there is a settlement or verdict where Monsanto agrees to, or is required to pay, a ton of money, that would be noteworthy. It may be that the lawsuit goes absolutely no where and never amounts to any thing. We 426:
Doesn't seem to be any problem with the content. The lawsuit was completed and the decision was described by secondary sources. That appears to meet the criteria we've been discussing all along for what meets due weight in this article. It's a minimal case that just meets expectations from my
924:
As noted above, these cases do not go to the heart of a company's business. Monsanto produces agricultural products. They are minor cases filed in local courts and will very likely be dismissed before proceeding much further. If these were important cases, then there would be wider coverage.
2279:
article and I am puzzled that anybody thinks that this is somehow inadequate. Of course, such folk may, if they feel the need, append the original SEC source as well as the NYT. That seems to be rather pointless, but I can understand if some editor feels the need to piss higher than others.
1281:
The lawsuits fall under the topic of this article, are happening, and are of enough note to be reported in reliable sources that establish notability. What more do you want, Jytdog? It's significance here is that it's part of the story of Monsanto, part of the picture of the company and its
807:
You repeat the same things over and over, as if they are Knowledge (XXG) policy and as if they're self-evident. Well, they're not evident to all editors. Good people with good minds disagree with you. Other people have different opinions on these matters, and your insistence seems to be
2025:
is simply that you can't write meaningful articles only by quoting and directly paraphrasing or describing sources (i.e. by properly using primary sources alone), evaluation and analysis must come from secondary sources. Both types of source are equally legitimate; each has its place.
578:
That sounds like one of those made-up rules that are used to keep unwanted information out of an article. To file a class action lawsuit against a major corporation is certainly notable and deserves mention, and most certainly in this article which is particularly for legal actions.
451:
given the ongoing rfc on similar lawsuits, I don't see anyone suggesting that this lawsuit be removed entirely. I support the inclusion as it is covered by multiple reliable sources, just as I support the inclusion of the recently filed cases which are covered by multiple reliable

And yes, I am seriously asking (unless all of your argument about cities lawsuits was...just a joke). You've spent a lot of editors' time trying to establish criteria for lawsuit selection, I am probing it in light of your own content choices. "Buddy" is pretty weak.
1369:
As for the encyclopedic value of the filing itself, that is determined by the outside world by its being reported in media sources that establish a notability factor. You're the one who has lectured me on this time and again in every forum, and now you're not seeing
94:
I added the reference to the recent St Louis case because it was verified by reliable sources, as a nation-wide class action appealled to multiple courts it seemed significant, and it looks to be setting some sort of precedent. Most importantly, it had a result.
1838:
There is no need to "ferret" through anything. The SEC disclosure includes the quoted material in the second paragraph. Nor is there any need to find a secondary source when we have perfectly reliable primary source (in case you are unaware, the SEC's form 8-K

I think you have misunderstood what I've been saying about the SEC. You are quite wrong, and I reject your view. Perhaps if you calm down and read what I've written above, you may get a clearer picture? Thanks.

All this poorly executed addition seems to support is that you think trials should be mentioned only when they are completed, and that you're trying to make a quick point with regard to the current discussion.

Tsavage has made some excellent points, Pete. It increasingly appears to me that your methodology in editing this article is questionable. As Tsavage notes, you seem to want it both ways. I strongly object.

The filing of lawsuits is not noteworthy. Literally thousands of lawsuits are filed every day. What matters - what is of encyclopedic value - is the outcome. We are not a newspaper.

It is quite clear; the mere filing of a lawsuit is not notable in itself. As noted, there are many filed every day and we cannot list them on that basis, just as (say) our article

Monsanto's restructuring isn't the sort of obscure legal fact that needs us to ferret around in primary sources. I'm sure it has been covered in depth elsewhere.
1672:, Gandydancer started off a restructuring. The content doesn't look controversial, but I'm wondering about the sources. We have the SEC (a primary source) and 1899:, they are perfectly acceptable when used appropriately, and at times seem the best choice for easy verifiability.
