Needs better citations

The article as it currently stands reads like a press release, or promotion lifted from Schiff's website. I removed one or two of the gushier words. The adulations quoted should be sourced. 11 Arlington (talk) 18:47, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Know It All" article in the New Yorker

On July 24th, 2006, Schiff wrote a New Yorker essay on wikipedia itself entitled Know It All. This very Stacy Schiff wikipedia article was created the very same day, which can be verified on history tab above. According to Timothy Noah, she was apparently not notable by wikipedia standards, despite the Guggenheim fellowship and Pulitzer prize.^[1] The essay and this article are now featured in the Wikiproject to counter systemic bias.Jaredscribe (talk) 05:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
