Here are some comments on the article's prose:
- "Those present, but not voting, could block votes and prevent a quorum" I understand how not voting can prevent a quorum, but I don't understand what it means to "block votes".
- "In July 21, 1890, Ballin, Joseph & Co imported into New York certain manufactures of worsted." Very archaic language. "Manufactures" is no longer used as a noun and "certain" is meaningless here. Is there any information in the sources about how much worsted they imported? That could be helpful for rewriting the sentence: "In July 21, 1890, Ballin, Joseph & Co imported 2 elephants of worsted into New York." Also, does this refer to New York City or to some other town?
- Took me a while to figure out the answer to this one. It is all in the transcript of record and I just need to figure out how to best cite to it. The short summary is that throughout July 1890, BJ&Co imported 30 cases of worsted cloth into the Port of New York (11 cases on July 3, 1890 by the steamer Majestic, 16 cases on July 10, 1890 by the steamer City of New York, 3 cases on July 21, 1890 by the steamer City of Richmond; all three arriving from Liverpool). I'll figure out how to best incorporate this into the article. Probably the parenthetical info in the footnote, the summarized 30 in the main text, and appropriate citations to the info within the footnote. —ShinyG 18:29, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- In order to make the timeline complete, either the end of Background section or the beginning of the Opinion of the Court should have some information about how the case got from the Circuit Court to the SCOTUS.
- "The judgment of the Circuit Court was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings." One-sentence paragraphs are generally frowned upon, and this is no exception. Also, what does "remanded for further proceedings" mean? I suspect many users will be equally unfamiliar with the term.
I'll be adding more comments as we go. Please make indented responses to individual concerns so it is clear which are addressed and which need further discussion. Thanks! --Cryptic C62 · Talk 03:48, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
