Federal Circuit cases format

Hi! Cquan asked me the following question, to which I have no answer:

"is there a reason (good or otherwise) that in all the fed cir case articles, the case citation is given in the first line as a reference rather than actually giving the citation inline, such as with the SCOTUS case format? I understand that there isn't an actual "official reporter" on the lines of the U.S. Reports, so the case citation will probably end up biased towards West, but since it's so universal I don't really see an issue...Let me know your thoughts when you can. Thanks!"

Would you have by chance an answer that could help him? Cheers --Edcolins (talk) 20:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

marc dreier/ shelia gowen conflict

Since you appear to have both the legal background and the content knowledge of wikipedia, is is ok to include dreier as a defendant in a federal case for patent theft against iviewit.com? the owner elliot bernstein's car was bombed. bernstein was introduced to dreier attorney joao and now she is the trustee on dreier's bankruptcy and joao and dreier are now defendants in a case she referred to them. http://www.thedeal.com/dealscape/2009/03/a_hot_summer_awaits_marc_dreie.php

"From: Eliot Bernstein,

I smell BIG CONFLICT - is Sheila Gowan formerly with Proskauer who introduced me to former Dreier Raymond Joao who put 90+ patents of mine in his own name, read on. MADOFF + STANFORD + DREIER + SATYAM + ALBERT HU = PROSKAUER ROSE Investors who have been burned in these scams should start to seek redress from the lawyers who were involved with these scams. I personally have been trying to notify regulators and authorities of a ONE TRILLION DOLLAR scam that is putting states like New York and Florida at huge risk, as well as, companies like Intel, Lockheed, SGI and IBM. The states and companies involved in the fraud fail to acknowledge the risk exposing shareholders and citizens to impending liabilities. Investigators, courts and federal agents ignoring the crimes and evidence, including a car-bombing attempt on my life. I know how Harry Markopolos felt trying to expose Madoff in a world without regulation. Did I hear Proskauer Rose is involved in Madoff (involved many clients too) and acted as Allen Stanford's attorney. Investors who lost money in these scams should start looking at the law firm Proskauer's assets for recovery. First, Proskauer partner Gregg Mashberg claims Madoff is a financial 9/11 for their clients, if they directed you to Madoff sue them. Then, Proskauer partner Thomas Sjoblom former enforcement dude for SEC and Allen Stanford attorney, declares PARTY IS OVER to Stanford employees and advises them to PRAY, this two days before SEC hearings. Then at hearings, he lies with Holt to SEC saying she only prepared with him but fails to mention Miami meeting at airport hanger. Then Sjoblom resigns after SEC begins investigation and sends note to SEC disaffirming all statements made by him and Proskauer, his butt on fire. If you were burned in Stanford sue Proskauer.

Proskauer Rose and Foley & Lardner are also in a TRILLION dollar FEDERAL LAWSUIT legally related to a WHISTLEBLOWER CASE also in FEDERAL COURT. Marc S. Dreier, brought in through Raymond A. Joao of Meltzer Lippe after putting 90+ patents of mine in his own name, is also a defendant in the Federal Case.

logos in Include-USGov

Hi, Eastlaw --- I was under the impression that re-use of logos from departments of the United States is not generally allowed. It's not copyright: I believe that there are one or more federal statutes that cover it. I thought it was safer to just have a generic PD logo than run a risk without much benefit (IMO).

With a name like "Eastlaw" :-), could you research that? Am I being too cautious? —hike395 (talk) 17:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Given that I prefer the PD-logo, and you are mildly leaning that way (as I read your comment), it sounds like we've reached consensus and can leave the template the way it is. I don't think that the admins or even the bureaucrats can legally bind WP on the decision, in any event. If you'd like to get more community input, we could post a notice at WT:Non-free content and WT:Logos that refers other editors to this discussion. —hike395 (talk) 16:23, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Category sort of court cases

I noticed that you changed the sort on some Massachusetts law articles with "Commonwealth v. Something." Are you sure that sorting based on the second party to a case where the first party is the government is a good idea? For example, where would something like United States v. One Book Called Ulysses go? O, 1, or U? Or even worse, a case typically known by a shortened name where the full name of the second party starts with a different letter? I think the best way to handle that kind of thing is to just have them go to C in the case of Commonwealth... they'll be sorted alphabetically there in the categories anyway. SnowFire (talk) 13:28, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

My understanding is that cases are sorted by case number, then by year? Since this is impracticable on Wikipedia, I'd think that letting the default sort would probably be the best move, right? SnowFire (talk) 23:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you asking for feedback on Charles Matthews's page. You may have been unlucky in basing that one on the DNB, since according to "Hawkins, William (HWKS686W)". A Cambridge Alumni Database. University of Cambridge. DNB confuses a barrister and a clergyman. According to Venn and the ODNB entry the serjeant-at-law was educated at Oxford rather than Cambridge.Dsp13 (talk) 18:59, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

There are several different entries for the name "William Hawkins" in the DNB. Are you sure these are the two which were confused? The other source I cited says this William Hawkins indeed attended Cambridge. --Eastlaw talk ⁄ contribs 21:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
I have no prior knowledge, but J. H. Baker's recent ODNB entry for the Pleas of the Crown Hawkins gives his dates as 1681/2–1750. Re his education Baker says "He was sent to Pembroke College, Oxford, at the age of fourteen in 1696, migrated to Oriel College in 1698 (graduating BA in 1699), and was elected a fellow of Oriel in 1700 as of Milton, Oxfordshire. Some authorities have confused him with an older namesake of St John's College, Cambridge, who became a prebendary of St Paul's, and there was another contemporary of the same name in the Middle Temple."

Bankruptcy Fraud and Fraud on the Court

Dear Eastlaw;

As anyone can plainly see - through circumstance - I have become a maven of sorts upon the issue of conflicts of interest in bankruptcy proceedings and of Dept of Justice fiduciary requisites thereof.

Many parties contact my website and search for items related to these topics.

Most subject matter out there has a veiled agenda to soft dance around the issues with a tilt toward assuring that culpability is avoided or deferred at all costs.

This has become a national issue of importance - worthy of a more perma-fixed location than this bereft of funding party's websites or blogs.

It is my desire to become a permanent editor on these issues - in a totally unbiased and informative manner.

Having grown beyond the original emotional plane of my individual angst to the point of understanding the conflict of issues requisites here - are there any suggestions and guidelines that you would direct me to - in order to begin?

Thank you for your time and consideration!

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Edits to Association of American Educators

Hi Eastlaw. Saw your changes to the categories of one of the pages I monitor: Association of American Educators. You removed the category "Education in the United States." Was hoping you could clarify? I looked through that category's articles before posting here to be sure that I think AAE belongs as a listing. The NEA, to which some consider AAE a competitor, and some other Trust for Insuring Educator (TIE) members, including the NSTA are included. Perhaps there is a broader overhaul of the category going on that I don't know about, but if not, I'd argue that AAE belongs in the category. 72.75.10.251 (talk) 20:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Your response explains everything, much appreciated. Given the benefit of having those subcategories, perhaps the two groups I mentioned above should be moved to Category:Teacher associations based in the United States instead of Category:Education in the United States, and any others so that latter category isn't so crowded. Just a thought. Best, 72.75.10.251 (talk) 13:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Judicial, legal, and equitable remedies

Hi, I noticed that you semi-recently created Template:Judicial remedies. You have judicial remedy linked in that template, but it's been a redirect to legal remedy for a while. I would prefer that a lot of this information be displayed on one page: the judicial remedy page. What do you think about remaking the judicial remedy page? The difference between equitable and legal remedies can be confusing and counterintuitive (one might presume that an equitable remedy would restore 'equity', ie net worth). What do you think?

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

Hi Eastlaw/Archive 4,

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.

  • 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,
(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.

Regards, Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 05:07, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for spamming you, but in light of the impending shift of the Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States, I'd like to get this article up to FA status within the next few weeks, and ready for the front page by the time the Court starts its fall term. Any help or advice you can provide would be appreciated. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:20, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Yay, back from vacation!

Hi Eastlaw, I'm glad to see you're back from vacation.

I truly hope you'll take a look at WP:Hornbook. Its noble mission: "To assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education -- "to turn hornbooks into footnotes."" We could really use editors like you. Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 06:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

      • WOW crazy fucking coincidence. Amazing!!

Once again, our messages crossed paths! I think outlines of each casebook are helpful, because they become the "entry point" for students using that casebook. For example (don't tell anyone, it could be a copyvio) here's one: user:usjd/c. Obviously it needs to be paraphrased to avoid the copyvio, and indeed, that is one of my top priorities.

Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. Deletion

Hi Eastlaw,

I noticed that you have been involved in disputing the speedy deletion of law firms' pages (Cozen O'Connor) and I could use some help with a similar matter. I've been working on a page for Grant & Eisenhofer P.A., based in Wilmington, DE. It was speedily deleted twice and has been re-written three times. It finally stayed on wikipedia for a few days without being tagged for speedy deletion. It was tagged yesterday, but the tag was promptly declined by an admin who stated that the page could use some copy editing but did not deserve to be deleted. Another admin seemed to feel differently and moved the page to my user subpage User:Steph0513/Grant & Eisenhofer P.A., deleting it from the main namespace. I am now trying to get editors to look over the page and move it back to the main page but thus far have been unsuccessful. The page currently has 60 references to reliable secondary sources. I'm not sure where to go from here, but I do believe that Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. is notable enough to have a wikipedia page based on the statistics I've come across during my research. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide in this matter. Thanks so much, Steph0513 (talk) 14:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Userspace draft moved into mainspace

Hi,

I recently moved one of your userspace drafts into article space in order to repair a Cut and Paste move than an editor had performed earlier. You can read the notice on our administrators' noticeboard here. They copied the editable text from your draft, pasted it into a new window and made an article. This is bad for us because it means that you, the creator of that content are not properly attributed. In repairing the move I had the option of either simply deleting the content from article space or moving your draft page over their article. Since the draft seemed good enough to be an article, I chose to move your draft page over their article.

This is reversible! You can view your draft as it was when you last edited it by clicking on the page history and viewing the revision which bears your name. If you feel that the draft does not belong in mainspace, contact me or any other admin and we will simply move the article into your userspace and delete the redirect. You can reverse the move yourself if you choose, but please remember to place a speedy deletion template (such as {{db-house}} or {{Db-r2}}) on the resulting redirect from the article to your subpage.

I'm sorry that your work got mixed up like this. Please let me know if there are any problems or if you need help with anything. Protonk (talk) 06:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Unaccredited schools vs. Resume frauds and controversies

Hi. I see that you categorized Category:Unaccredited institutions of higher learning as a subcategory of Category:Résumé frauds and controversies. I'm interested in hearing your reasoning, but I believe this was an inappropriate change and should be undone -- in part because it defames some unaccredited institutions. Not all unaccredited schools are associated with resume fraud -- nor any other type of fraud. Some are unaccredited because they lost accreditation for financial reasons or other issues (for example, Knoxville College and Morris Brown College), some have not sought accreditation for philosophical reasons (such as most of the entries in Category:Unaccredited Christian universities and colleges, and a few avoid the issue of accreditation for their credentials by not awarding degrees (such as Trump University).

Category:Unaccredited institutions of higher learning is not synonymous with diploma mills, and should not be treated in that manner. This is why the category documentation states "This category contains articles about unaccredited institutions of higher learning, including both diploma mills and legitimate institutions that lack educational accreditation." In the past, only institutions that are documented to have been involved in résumé frauds and controversies have been placed in that category. --Orlady (talk) 12:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

After reflecting upon the situation, I removed Category:Unaccredited institutions of higher learning from Category:Résumé frauds and controversies to avoid defaming the institutions in the unaccredited category. However, I have not re-added any individual institutions to Category:Résumé frauds and controversies (awaiting your input). --Orlady (talk) 16:36, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm done for now; I hope you like it. Bearian (talk) 16:55, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

With articles like this that are barely more than a stub I like to encourage expansion and verification. I don't see how the link helps with either, but it is promotional in nature and will tend to attract more of the same. The fact that this link has been spammed against a coi for over three years is reason to be extra cautious with it. --Ronz (talk) 22:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated Ex Post Facto, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ex Post Facto. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
