Welcome!

This is being sent to you for your participation in Wikipedia:WikiProject United States Public Policy/Courses/Spring 2011/Copyright, Commerce, and Culture (Evan Hill-Ries).

Hello, Evanhr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! --your friendly neighborhood Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, Pharos (talk) 19:50, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Leaderboard

Pharos' has had some unusual tool requests recently. Digging into why, I've discovered that most of your class is not editing Wikipedia. It is important that your students don't cram their assignment into the final week.

In order to foster greater participation I've created http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/leaderboard/; Andrea is currently leading the pack. — Dispenser 21:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Structure Sequence and Organization / Whelan v. Jaslow

Welcome. If you're looking for ideas on articles to be written by your students, I'd recommend Whelan v. Jaslow: Whelan Associates Inc. v. Jaslow Dental Laboratory, Inc., 797 F.2d 1222 (3d Cir. 1986). This is a case that established the Structure, Sequence and Orginization (SSO) approach of copyright infringement analysis for computer programs, prior to the creation of the Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison test in Computer Associates Int. Inc. v. Altai Inc.. SOO is the minority test now, but I believe it is still good law in the Third Circuit, and in any event is a highly notable copyright case. TJRC (talk) 00:20, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
