Organization, Names, and Verdict[edit]

If available there should be more information on how the cheating was organized, after all, 125 students are implicated in the scandal of which the exact number is also not mentioned in the article. None of the students names are listed in the article, but are listed in media sources and are surley notable enough in the most signifigant academic dishonesty scandal in recent history. Also there is no section on the verdict and although the verdict has not occured there should still be a section on it discussing predictions, date, and that it has not happened. As can be imagined more can be added after the verdict. there should be seperate sections on Organization, Names, and Verdict.--150.216.226.109 (talk) 12:46, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You added innuendo and WP:EXCEPTIONAL claims like "Possibly over half (70%) of the student body" without any sources. CallawayRox (talk) 19:37, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What was his innuendo?--2012Hcs (talk) 01:28, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tenses in the lead[edit]

Should the language in the lead be present tense instead of past, as the investigation is ongoing? It's currently past tense save one sentence I added that refers to the ongoing nature of the scandal. Goodnightmush^Talk 21:07, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
