You do realize WP:N, WP:ATTP, WP:RS, etc. are all links to the policies being referenced, right? You're complaining that they're linking to policy pages to defend their opinions. If lawyers provided hyperlinks to every law they mentioned, I'd be ecstatic.
- smackfu 17y agoLawyers at least have to argue their points in front of a jury of laypersons. On Wikipedia, the only audience for this kind of thing is other wiki fanatics, so it just becomes more and more insular. Also, that is kind of like the ultimate wiki defense: "any obscure terms are linked so my writing doesn't have to be clear".
- Perceval 17y agoLawyers are barred from making legal arguments directly to the jury. Judges hold the prerogative of instructing the jury on the law. Lawyers only make arguments about evidence, motivation, etc. to the jury.
- shabda 17y agoYes, but I am not a (wikipedia) lawyer, and so I dont need/want/have the inclination to justify my actions with an alphabet soup. I just want to contribute, (and hopefully want to see is stay).
