  1. could use lots of background information and is very timely.--Kchase02 T 05:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  2. Seconded. The opinions section could definitely be expanded, and I suspect there is a wealth of critical response that can be integrated as well. RidG Talk 05:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Article sections

The sections as outlined by the Project are listed below. As sections are completed by Wikipedians, they should be crossed off to show that they are done.

• Introduction
• Prior history
• The case
• Effects
• Subsequent history
• Sources and further reading
• External links
• Categories
• Interlanguage links (if possible)

For an explanation of the type of information that should be included in each section, please see Misplaced Pages:WikiProject US Supreme Court Cases#Guidelines and article outline.

Votes for closure

This section is to be used once an article has reached the point of being completed and every section above is crossed off. All Wikipedians involved must register their vote to close a collaboration. When the every member involved agrees that the article is complete to both Project and featured article standards, the article will be submitted as a nomination for featured article. Until every member involved in the particular collaboration agrees that the article is complete, it will continue to be worked on.

Work seems to have stopped. While there's more we could do, it might be more fun to move on to a new article. Thoughts?--Kchase02 T 01:16, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I contacted the editors here who have worked on the article and each were happy to move to a new one.--Kchase02 T 05:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
