Blog

Rather belated, I know, but your talk page was rather empty, so I have added a welcome message above.

I found your blog post on whether law professors should contribute to Wikipedia and Wikisource. There are several featured articles on legal topics, from Al-Kateb v Godwin to USA PATRIOT Act, Title III, Subtitle A, and many others are not too bad - Donoghue v. Stevenson, for example; and there is a Law WikiProject and a Law Portal.

As a law professional (not academic), I am often pleasantly surprised how good Wikipedia articles on law topics are, although clearly there is a lot of work still to do. However, I have to admit that I prefer writing about subjects that are not strictly legal, such as Jack Sheppard. Anyway, thanks for posting your interesting thoughts. -- ALoan (Talk) 17:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

House Report No. 94-1476

You rock for creating wikisource:Copyright Law Revision (House Report No. 94-1476). I'm just sayin'. TJRC (talk) 19:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I may be able to help on the proofing in the near future, although I'm about to go dark for a week or so. Can you explain the color coding on the page you cited? (s:Index:H.R. Rep. No. 94-1476). I know this document pretty well; I teach Copyright Law and reference it often. TJRC (talk) 16:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Tarmstro99,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
