Diskussion:Alexander Somek

Biography of living persons

Hi, sorry for writing this in English, but I don't have the time to do it in German. The English-language article on Somek has a lot of problems with bad citations and self-promoting writing. Most citations are written by Somek himself.

Could someone with more experience on the German Wikipedia perhaps review this article?

Thank you, and again apologies for the English,

The content of the German article is a bit different, in particular, it is longer. But the article suffers from the very same problems. To give a few examples of the parallels between the English and German articles:

"Somek's scholarship has addressed questions of legal philosophy, legal theory, constitutional law, European Union law and public international law.^{[citation needed]"}

"In his early work, influenced to some degree^[how?] by the critical legal scholarship of Duncan Kennedy and Roberto Mangabeira Unger,^{[citation needed]} Somek explored the political significance of systematic legal thought."

Which are exact translations of:

"Someks Arbeiten befassen sich mit grundlegenden Fragen der Rechtsphilosophie, der Rechtstheorie, des Verfassungsrechts, des Europarechts und des Völkerrechts.

In seinen früheren Arbeiten, die

in gewissem Maße

durch die kritische Rechtstheorie von Duncan Kennedy und Roberto Mangabeira Unger beeinflusst waren

, beschäftigte sich Somek mit der politischen Funktion des systematischen Rechtsdenkens."

Again, the German article suffers from the very same problems as the English entry. Thus, if the English entry needs to be scrapped, so does the German one.
