[edit] Bad article

This is an example of a wiki article I really take issue with. The "criticism" section is extraordinarily tiny, for such a controversial figure. She's a tough-talking daytime TV judge, and the only criticism is a couple of lines from one source? I guarantee there's something better out there. Or at least more. Also, what's with the quotes? Some might be original (though most aren't), but regardless it's unnecessary. Put them on wikiquote.

[edit] Facts

Removed some of the following until sources are cited:

“

Her mother died of stomach cancer, which Judge Judy says was misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer.
Judy herself says that she saw it as a way to reach out to everyday people and share her opinions on life with a broader audience.
Her style is disighned as encouraging people to "take responsibility for...[themselves, their]... actions and the children... [they've] brought into the world." "Americans have the right to know how their interests are being represented," says Judy herself, and the site also credits her with pioneering an open court policy, which was not common at the time.
Finally, Sheindlin has appeared in Las Vegas commercials explaining how to play popular table gambling games for Harrah's Entertainment group, using her no nonsense approach to breakdown the key rules of games such as Poker.

Also add:

“

Sheindlin is a devoted fan of the TV series Law & Order. Attempts were made to secure her a guest role on the show, but the L&O producers declined, saying that she would be too recognizable as Judge Judy.
