Needs a Criticism section

There should be a criticism section. Just for starts, Lessig's battle with Stephen Manes:

No. See "Avoid sections and articles focusing on criticisms or controversies". Philwiki (talk) 08:44, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And articles at the Progress and Freedom Foundation, like:

Please consider wikipedia policies concerning pages/bios of live persons. Outright criticisms, especially with an agenda, are likely inappropriate. A Controversies section is a good idea, and is added today to objectively record them. And a Controversies talk section below as well.

Controversies

Merge from Rootstrikers

Without judgement on what they do, I'm seeing few independent google hits on Rootstrikers. I think it needs to be merged until the group can demonstrate independent notability. / edg ☺ ☭ 20:38, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I said on the talk page of Rootstrikers, pageviews are indeed anemic; but there are solid references. What if we revisit this topic in a month or two, but keep them separate for the time being? We may get a better read on things then. Summer is coming; it may be this rally in Philadelphia gathers interest.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:50, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's crystal ballery. The references which even mention "Rootstrikers" (several don't even mention the organization) do so as a trivial name drop. There's not near enough in them to sustain a full article. This is a push piece, and as much as I personally agree with what's being pushed, we can't have that here. If sources do more in-depth coverage of the group, we'll write the article after they do, not in anticipation that they might do so. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:37, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's part of a coalition: United Republic, Rootstrikers, and Get Money Out. If it's going to be a merge, it should be a merge to a coalition article, not Laurence Lessig. I agree with Tomsulcer. 184.78.81.245 (talk) 01:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Since it's been over six months since this discussion (and I've seen increasing references to Rootstrikers in the media since then) can this be laid to rest? i.e., to remove the merge proposal box from the top of the Rootstrikers page. Caseylf (talk) 14:20, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Honorary degree, where can I put this on the page ?

On February 3, 2014, Lawrence Lessig has received an Honorary degree from Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium [1] along with Denis Mukwege and Jigme Thinley.

Where do you thing I can put this on the page ? In a new "Awards" section ? --ZeFredz (talk) 09:54, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Board of Maplight

The link that references the board members at MapLight is not mentioning Lessig. I do not know if he was in the past so it should be done "was on the board" or be removed completely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkoukoul (talk • contribs) 14:57, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Forbin Problems

Is this relevant, and if yes, how about a short explanation and Forbin Problems instead of Forbin Problems? –Be..anyone (talk) 05:21, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
