section on Roundup

This should be added to the section on Roundup. The judgement against Monsanto amounted to 298 million dollars with much of it puntiative damages. The source is here. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/08/lawsuit-brings-289-million-verdict-against-maker-of-roundup-weed-killer/Claustro123 (talk) 02:24, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's a bit of work going into this right now actually. We do have to be careful because it is generally considered in the independent scientific community to be WP:FRINGE that glyphosate causes cancer as alleged. WP:DUE with that in mind is why there's a delay, but I'm working on summarizing some sources right now. There's likely to be upcoming commentary on it in the coming week since it's still the weekend for a lot of scientists, so it doesn't hurt to wait a little bit in terms of WP:RECENTISM to really dig into more in-depth content.

The outcome of the recent verdict against Monsanto needs to be added. It is one of the most significant Monsanto legal cases of late. It's been more than a month since the verdict. Time to update the article. Minor4th 21:15, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A number of editors had already been editing Monsanto_legal_cases#RoundUp for that in the last month. Kingofaces43 (talk) 05:52, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's nowhere to be found in the article. So let's add it. Minor4th 22:13, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After rechecking, I found it - it was sort of hidden. I rearranged the paragraphs and cleaned up the wording. Minor4th 22:35, 17 September 2018 (UTC)++[reply]

Needs work

This article is such a mess and could be made much better and shorter with good, efficient writing. I am going to alert Project:Law to see if I can get some interest in making this article better.Minor 4th 22:22, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
