@Superb Owl: Is there a source for the claim, recently added, that Lina Khan's active bar license was not in good standing with the New York Bar Association since 2020?

I removed it since it was added without a source or context and it was not clear why it belongs in the lead. Something like this should be worked out in the body first Superb Owl (talk) 20:29, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oop -- I misinterpreted the diff check and I thought you had added it. So sorry and thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madeleinesinging (talk • contribs) 20:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am leaving this link here. It is the classic criticism of her work, but unfortunately in blog post form, so apparently not appropriate as a reference here, but if it was ever referenced in a third party source it would be good to include.

Here is the text I wrote to accompany it:

• In a 2019 article Kristian Stout and Alec Stapp argued that Khan made a number of mistakes; contrary to her suggestion that Amazon relied on raising financing from investors to support predatory pricing, the firm had actually been cashflow-positive since 2002, and not issued any equity or debt.[5]

Hey Sandstein, I don't understand your comments about broken links. Both these links work just fine for me:

• https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/faculty_scholarship/1964/
• https://arizonastatelawjournal.org/2019/05/07/requiem-for-a-paradox-the-dubious-rise-and-inevitable-fall-of-hipster-antitrust/

It's not just me - I notice this was previously pointed out on your talk page also, and I can verify the links on downforeveryoneorjustme

Is it possible you have an out of date browser, or an add-on or VPN that blocks some websites? Or maybe your geography restricts access?

If it helps, here are some alternative links to the same content:

Just to comment on one part of the edit in question--linking to two academics responses to the paper and then saying "Many academics have criticised this work" is original synthesis. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:23, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alyo, agreed. Sandstein 14:52, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Larklight, thanks, the links do work, I was clicking on them in the diff, where they did not because of treiling ref tags. But you should format such references properly, see Template:Journal. Sandstein 14:52, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New America CEO Slaughter disputed the reason for booting the [[Open Markets Institute]] (OMI) ( Sheelah Kohatkar, "The Enforcer,"The New Yorker, September 6, 2021, pp. 48-57, p. 54). Khan and others re-established OMI outside of New America (ibid.). Kdammers (talk) 18:07, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
