This article has a lot of redundancies and is pretty rambling, so I'm working on paring it down. I'm up to the section about infiltrating the KKK, which is a hot mess, and the part of the article he's most known for. There's way too much emphasis on the Freakonomics criticism, which has been solidly shot down in a number of articles in serious academic journals. My goal is to make the section more concise and include more academic sources:

Just an FYI. I'm open to suggestions. —PermStrump(talk) 16:09, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is correct. The article is contorted into a discussion of the mistakes made by the guys who wrote Freakonomics. That has very little to do with Kennedy and less of a place on Wikipedia. Trumpetrep (talk) 02:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All of the junked material from the Criticism section is here if anyone wants to salvage it. It was so lengthy that it completely threw off the balance of the article.Trumpetrep (talk) 07:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
