I like Dan's work, but this reads like a hagiography - especially the teaching style section. I don't know enough about Misplaced Pages's conventions to make the necessary edits, but figured I'd flag the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.218.149.169 (talk) 22:21, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

agreed. Don't have time to work on it at the moment, but I've added it to a to-do list. The teaching style section has problems, and there are no quotes. The last sentence of the citation is directly quoted in this article, but where was the rest of the teaching section pulled from? You can't just say this is how he teaches without having some kind of proof. This is Misplaced Pages afterall.
Also the lede needs to show some kind of evidence for the reason why he has a page here on WP, simply that he is a professor and lawyer is not enough. Otherwise WP would have have to double in size to support all the other lawyers and professors. Whoever rewrites the lede should consider making it clear, "Who is Dan Kahan, and why does he deserve a WP page above all the other people who also have the same degrees and occupations?" I'm sure the evidence exists out there that will make this a better page, just someone with more time should do so. Sgerbic (talk) 16:11, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Needs extensive cleanup or deletion

"His voice booms off the walls as he asks questions, most of which come with a laugh and a smile." You have got to be kidding me. Most of the accounts that have contributed to this article have only edited this and cultural cognition. A vanity piece that needs to be extensively rewritten, if not outright deleted. ~Eliz81 19:28, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
