  • The lead is too short, and does not adequately summarize the article. See WP:LEAD.

From a brief look, it appears the article is generally good and I expect we'll eventually pass it, but I may notice some problems when I do a more detailed review later. Ucucha 20:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Under "State enforcement actions", the use of the {{cite court}} template results in a period placed randomly within a sentence. This issue recurs under "Federal court of claims".
That is a template problem - it is omitting "(Wis., 1963)" from the first citation and "(Ct.Cl., 1941)" in the second. Would you rather I enter it manually or try to get someone to fix the template? As an interim measure, I will do it manually, until I hear back. GregJackP Boomer! 19:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When a template is emitting the wrong results, I don't think you should use it. Ucucha 21:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree - it was working fine when I put it in the article. Probably one of those evil WikiKnights... :) GregJackP Boomer! 03:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there anything to say on the arguments made before the Supreme Court?
✗ Not done - I'll see what I can find, but it is a 1968 case, so I'm not sure what I can find. In any event, I'll let you know. I've check all the Lexis law review articles, Oyez, Google, GBooks/Scholar, etc, and the case is just too old. All I can find is the blurb that I mentioned.

  • It's not really an issue if you prefer to keep it as is, but the layout of the "Notes" is odd, with the numbers at a different font size than the notes themselves. I'd recommend getting rid of the "small" tags.

{{Done-t}}, replaced with other images from WikiCommons. GregJackP Boomer! 19:26, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The one for Stewart is good, but the one for Douglas (File:Justice_William_O_Douglas.jpg) has baseless licensing: it claims PD on the grounds that the author has been dead for 70 years, but doesn't actually specify the author. Ucucha 21:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll look tomorrow for another one (maybe at Lib of Congress - I already checked SCOTUS, without success). GregJackP Boomer! 03:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Uploaded a file from Library of Congress in PD to WikiCommons, replaced image in article with that one. It should now have all of the needed tags. GregJackP Boomer! 15:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; I am now passing the article as a GA. Ucucha 16:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
