WikiLaw - Reed Elsevier v. Muchnick

Cool, I'll take a look at Reed Elsevier v. Muchnick

By the way, I'm still trying to figure out some of the more advanced community protocols on Wikipedia, and I want to get more involved with the WikiLaw project. Not sure how management, or organization of Wiki Projects generally run. Do you know? I think the legal sections need some polishing up and fleshing out, and it would be cool to be able to coordinate better. Arttechlaw (talk) 14:30, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

• A lot of the projects, The Guild of Copy Editors for example, have coordinators that assist in the management of the projects and help run project-wide "drives" where editors work on specific tasks that aid the project. I'm new to the WikiLaw project (and the law community in general), and the project doesn't appear to have any coordinators, that I'm aware of. We could work to change that though.

• What would be some of the first steps to take? Proper protocol on Wikipedia is sometimes hard to decipher. Arttechlaw (talk) 23:41, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
• We could start by drafting a petition and reaching out for consensus. I helped do this with The Counter-Vandalism Unit when it was revitalized. The goal is reaching consensus among the members of the project. Tarheel95 (Sprechen) 02:28, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
• That sounds like a good idea. Does the petition cover topics around the Project like "Statement of Purpose", goals, approach, etc.? Also, when reaching out to other people, what are some good approaches for getting others re-involved? Arttechlaw (talk) 14:19, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
• The petition we wrote for the CVU is here, and covered the sort of topics you suggested. I think those are great ideas to include in the petition. As far as getting others involved, we took to the village pump, which is good for introducing proposals and other ideas. We also polled the project for those interested in keeping it active.

• Hi! Been busy with school, how is the law article going? Arttechlaw (talk) 21:23, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
• Hey! I understand, I'm hoping to eventually go to law school myself. I'm not sure where to take the article from here, I've read a few articles similar to this to get an idea of the general format, I think we should discuss the Supreme Court proceedings now. The question is, what's the best way to present them? Tarheel95 (Sprechen) 19:55, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Ummm...

Why did you accept the University of London Air Squadron? The sources cited are not reliable and the article itself largely relies on one source, "Flight Global". The botched move also resulted in an inability to undo the move. Please do not hastily review articles.

• My apologies, I'll do my best to be more diligent in reviewing and moving articles in the future. Tarheel95 (Sprechen) 02:43, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
  • No worries, sorry about my tone. I wasn't in the best of moods. I was dreadful when I first started, don't worry about it - you'll get a hang of it and do really well! :) Just read the guides and ask for help when needed, that's what I did! James ^{(T • C)} • 5:00pm • 06:00, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
