Thanks for your comments on New Hampshire Grants. I'll get to work on your suggestions, including the court case citations. Thank you! jengod 23:27, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
Congratulations on your article -- I think it is a very good one. I've taken the liberty of adding a little chart which I've copied from Marbury v. Madison. Do take a look at it and tell me what you think. The only problem I have is that there are some sections in the chart for which I do not have the data. If you have the information that's missing in the chart yet feel uncomfortable filling in the chart yourself (it looks very strange when you edit the article), then if you could send it to me, I'd be glad to add it myself.

I did consider and I might contribute. I have a completely stupid reason for doing so: I need to initiate articles starting with the letters "e", "k", "x", "y" and "z" in order to have the entire alphabet covered. so I have my eye on Youngstown Steel, which certainly deserves it, and Zdanok v. Glidden, which I've never understood the importance of. Or Zorach, which sounds like Superman's uncle. I'm also a member of the eventually-to-be-formed Labor and Labor History Caucus, but there appear to be only two of us in that area. Italo Svevo 23:42, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Just a quick note about the article. They style guide says that section and subsection titles should only have an initial cap. So that, "External Link" is improper and "External link" is right. Nice article though. BrokenSegue 20:35, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Anything! If you can expand it, please, go ahead! - Ta bu shi da yu 00:12, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your contact on my talk page. The size of the initial release(s) of WP:1.0 is/are still being debated - IMHO I think we may do a test version with just 1000 or so articles, then expand to perhaps 20,000 for an initial release. Of course ideally we want both the most important subjects, and we want these all to be A-Class or FA quality! The request for quality articles looks like it will be just the start of an ongoing dialogue, and we will in time contact the WikiProjects about compiling a list of their major topics something like this list. If you could get a list like that together of the "top twenty" court cases, that would be absolutely great, and also any other key articles like US Supreme Court - we'll use as many as we have room for. If an article is Start-Class quality or lower, though, it may well get missed out of the initial release. We hope to greatly improve and expand some hierarchy "trees" that would look something like this, only prettier! Ultimately I would see every WikiProject having at least one such tree or its equivalent.
One other thing, if you could give us your assessment of the Brown vs BoE and Texas v Johnson articles listed here, I'd really appreciate your expert opinion. It's hard for a non-specialist like myself to judge the quality properly, but I suspect these may be both important cases and A-Class in quality. Thanks a lot, Walkerma 05:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply, and especially for working on this. Probably the best approach would be to think "Which are the twenty most important cases?" and review those first - then move on to less important cases if you need to. If you identify serious problems in the major cases, then probably these should be priority articles for the WikiProject to work on. Thanks also for your opinion on those two articles I mentioned. All the best, Walkerma 19:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I am wondering if I ever got back to you to thank you for your hard work on putting together the list. I thought I had, but apparently not here, so please forgive me if I missed this, I recall I was quite sick at that time. Anyway, I am using your list as an example of the sort of thing we should ask all of the projects to supply - subjective though it is, it is clearly well thought out. I really appreciate it, and we will try to get as many of your top twenty as possible into the test releases (hopefully this fall). Many thanks, Walkerma 04:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey Ridg. In belated response to your questions, we seem to have arrived at tacit consensus about format (I think this is what you were referring to). Both the old format (minus "the bench") and Postdlf's alternative have been listed on the project page for several days, and no one has commented or changed, so I'd say here's our format standard. As to the PCA, just go to the PCA page to vote on it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Kchase02 (talk • contribs)
Besides Postdlf (who works on everything), you and I are the only ones from the WP:SCOTUS wikiproject who worked on Clinton v. NYC. How do you feel about closing it and moving on to to a new case?--Kchase02 T 03:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm happy to see that you have signed up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Law - we aim to make Wikipedia the world's most comprehensive source of free legal information! Cheers! BD2412 T 02:03, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I take you up on your offer to put this term up for debate. I don't agree with your reasons for deletion.Pryzbilla 02:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Dear RidG,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that for security reasons, VandalProof's creator requires it's users to have made 250 edits to articles, which you have not. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. fetofs Hello! 12:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
IM on your talk page, please state the reasons for deleation
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 21:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
That page is worse than a copyright violation, it is just plain spam. Get rid of it forever. Thanks. Luxomni 23:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello, you mentioned on my talk page that a page I created was tagged for speedy deletion (Metal Skool). I've added a note to the talk page of the article about it, and added some citations and more information about their notability. I also made a note at Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions. Please review these and remove the deletion tag, otherwise get back to me and move the article to AFD if you still think it's non-notable. I'll have you know I'm a member of The Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, so not only will I put up a fight, I'll bring friends ;). Thanks for your diligence. (note, this comment is duplicated at User_talk:BaseballBaby, who didn't seem to have much to say about the sources I added, but told me to format the page more like Simple Plan for instance, a wise idea. However it grows late and I'd rather get some sleep if I can do so without the article being deleted whilst I slumber. Anyway, please keep me posted and happy editing. ---Matthew Cieplak (talk) (edits) 10:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Your question about me the user Acadame North what point I was trying to make was that the wikipedia administrators was deleting the page Acadame North because they have anti-socialist views the fact is Socialism is why we are he today would we have won WW2 with out the Soviets or without Tito's Yugoslav partisans I didn’t think so questions comments please go to my talk page--Acadamenorth 21:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi RidG,
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.
What you can do now:

Hi RidG,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
