Article Evaluation

This article only had 6 references, which was not nearly enough. The references were also mainly citing the government record of the case, so it did not provide more than one view of the case.AstroFan2017 (talk) 02:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, AstroFan2017. I've placed a template ({{primary sources}}) at the top of the article which indicates that it needs more secondary sources. — PinkAmpers &^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 03:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the template. Per WP:MOSLAW, primary sources are authorized, and in some manners preferred for legal articles. GregJackP Boomer! 19:27, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/make-no-law/2018/11/the-f-bomb/ qualify as a secondary source? The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 22:25, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Revising

I'm going to start on a major revision of this article, including formatting the article according to WP:SCOTUS, revising the references to allow pinpoint references, and expanding. I'll probably change the reference system to Bluebook, if there are objections, please let me know, but the current system cites to the entire work instead of the point in the work that supports the text in the article.
