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

[edit]

Hi Bot-iww,

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.

Lithuanian SSR wasn't a state ([1] etc.). State was from 1918 (and is to now) Lithuania (s. Occupation of the Baltic states...). --Bot-iww (talk) 07:15, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But Lithuania as such wasn't a country either during the Soviet reign. I propose that "born in Lithuania" gets replaced by "born in the Soviet Union". It's not really neutral to say that something as the Lithuanian SSR did never exist. --Gereon K. (talk) 15:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Gereon. Lithuania was the Soviet Union at the time. The era was much too long to be disregarded as an "occuption". We have describe things the way they were. --MarsRover (talk) 21:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Changes made by Bot-iww without consensus are reverted. Please don't perform massive changes in established content in wikipedia without previous discussion and reaching consensus. - Altenmann >t 22:17, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your position is understandable. I am not going to go into debates about de jure/de facto of the Lithuanian state, however please keep in mind that writing that a person was born in Lithuanian SSR gives a much better understanding the overall environment where the person lived his life. This is not the same as a short-term occupation during a war, as you give in a Polish example. - Altenmann >t 18:58, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...born in LSSR is Error. Lithuanian SSR isn't state. Person X isn't in Lithuanian SSR born. --Bot-iww (talk) 13:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just like a person is born in Louisiana, USA, another person was born in Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union. - Altenmann >t 17:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, listen, don´t get me wrong, but as I make and edit quite many biographies, if you have time I would like you to tell me if there was anything wrong in my edit in Kęstutis Ruzgys page. You commented "absurdum...", so I would like to know if there was anything absurd about my edit, so I wan´t repete it in other ocasion. P.S.:It was already written Lithuanian SSR, I just add Soviet Union, since that was, wasn´t it?, the official name of the "country" when Kestutis was born, in 1962. Hoping you wan´t get me wrong, I thank you in advance. FkpCascais (talk) 08:35, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuanian SSR wasn't a state. State was from 1918 (and is to now) Lithuania (s. Occupation of the Baltic states; International public law). --Bot-iww (talk) 08:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Easy man! It wasn´t me who wrote Lithuanian SSR. Don´t get me into it. Anyway, in 1962 the state was SSSR, you recognise it or not. FkpCascais (talk) 09:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Lithuania wasn´t part of SSSR... Kestutis Ruzgys, born in 1962 in Lithuania -> Kestutis Ruzgys born in Lthuania. --Bot-iww (talk) 09:16, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, you´re right, lithuanians lived happily as ever in their FREE Lithuania until 1990. Kestutis never saw a SSSR soldier in his life, he dosn´t even know what that is (SSSR), as all other FREE Lithuanians that lived in Vilnius, Kaunas, and other cities during the Soviet, ups, FREEDOM period. FkpCascais (talk) 09:23, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Lithuania was subject of public international law, not Lithuanian SSR:

I do know that all your edits are going to be reverted (sooner or later) becouse this debate already happend here on English wikipedia long time ago, and there is an agreement to do it that way. In mine personal case, I´m Serbian, and as much as I would like to see in the biographies for people born during Yugoslav period, Exemple: born 1956, Belgrade, Serbia, that just doesn´t happend here. The debate happend (I don´t have the time to try to digg it for you...it´s in the archives of some WikiProjects) and all arguments were exposed (USSR, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, all-colonianl states, etc.) and the agreement was to use city+country (at time of birth), and the ones mentioned were (agree or disagree) are the ones that existed, and if some occupied other countries, that the case. But, plese remember, we are not here to teach or rewritte history. By the resolution taken, it shouldn´t even be Lithuania nor Lithuanian SSR, just Klaipeda, SSSR, and if somebody want´s to know more about it, he can just click to Klaipeda, and read the history section.
The important here is that it is not considered good practice to make massive changes here without opening (or re-opening) a debate about it, in this case you should do it in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football and as I see you´re lowyier, you wan´t find it difficult to expose the case.

Occupation, Case of the Incorporation of the Baltic States by the USSR... s. 'Case of Krzysztof Kieślowski'. --Bot-iww (talk) 10:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Judicial Shamanism

[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Judicial Shamanism, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Judicial Shamanism. Thank you.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Robofish (talk) 17:29, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Legal Advisor has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This newly created page is not quite a disambiguation page and not quite a stand-alone list. It's a list of links to different types of legal advisers. As such, it may be redundant to Category:Lawyers by type or other sub-category of Category:Law.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Cnilep (talk) 21:46, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Varul Vilgerts Smaliukas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Concerning RoschierRaidla

[edit]

And what do you want me to do? The notability was not established, and the article had a certain 'spammy' touch. Lectonar (talk) 13:26, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to your post to my talk page, titled: "RoschierRaidla (400 + Lawyer)"

[edit]

Please stop posting to my talk page about this. It was deleted, as it was blatant spam / advertising. It appears you are making the exact same posts to talk pages of other users. Please stop this. -- Cirt (talk) 19:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Username concern

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Bot-iww, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is a misleading username; "Bot" in username, suggesting a bot used for inter-wiki linking purposes. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. -- Cirt (talk) 21:13, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of VARUL

[edit]

The article VARUL has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
