Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 19:20, 17 September 2006

The United States Supreme Court Case Article Improvement Project Project Collaboration Article is an article chosen by members of the Project who wish to participate. The object of the collaboration is to improve the article to the level of a featured article on the Misplaced Pages Main Page.

Notice: This case is listed on the "In the news" section on the front page. As of now, it has very little information on the opinions, so whatever work can be done to add that in the next few days would be very helpful. Discussion so far is on the article's talk page.--Kchase02 T 21:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Next PCA

Nominations

Voting for the next PCA may begin at any time. The following articles have been nominated:

• Marbury v. Madison - established judicial review
• Hamdi v. Rumsfeld - government's ability to detain unlawful combatants
• Webster v. Reproductive Health Services abortion regulation
• United States v. Carolene Products Co. Footnote four started modern levels of judicial scrutiny
• Prize Cases presidential power in wartime

Voting

• Hamdi v. Rumsfeld
  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

• The case
• Effects
• Subsequent history

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.

I basically made this a PCA by editorial fiat since it would get so much attention anyway. I think we could still do some work on it, but does anyone want to close it?--Kchase T 21:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

After several months, I'm voting for this PCA to be closed and for a new PCA to be started. --MZMcBride 19:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
