User talk:FedLawyer

Welcome!

WELCOME!! Hello, FedLawyer! I want to personally welcome you on behalf of the Wikipedia community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you haven't already, you can put yourself new user log and list of users so you can be properly introduced to everyone. Don't forget to be bold, and don't be afraid of hungry Wikipedians...there's a rule about not biting newcomers. Some other good links are the tutorial, how to edit a page, or if you're really stuck, see the help pages. It would be really helpful if you would sign your name on talk pages, so people can get back to you quickly. It's easy to do this by clicking the button (next to the one with the "W" crossed out) one from the end on the left. If that's confusing, or if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a ♪ at my talk page (by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the tab at the top that says "edit this page")...and again, welcome!--Violin Girl^♪ 04:12, 04:12, Wednesday, November 13, 2024 (UTC)

Sure, be sure to contact me again if you ever need anything, and ENJOY Wikipedia!--ViolinGirl^♪ 13:00, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FedLawyer! Hope it's a wonderful one! (happy New Year, too!)--ViolinGirl^♪ 15:17, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Internet legal resources in UK

Thanks. For me, this failed the Furniss v. Dawson test (i.e. type "FURNISS DAWSON" in the search box and see if you get a report of the tax case). Why not raise a discussion at Talk:Case citation? I'll remove the external link from that article, for the moment.

Hi...I'm not sure if I understand the question, and doubt if I could help you out, since I'm kind of new myself, much as I'd like to. Maybe Sango could, I've always found Sango to be helpful. Here's a link for the talk page...User_talk:Sango123. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!--ViolinGirl^♪ 17:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Law of Australia

Hi, could you again help the base Law of Australia article; as you should be aware there is a common misconception that the ' Commonwealth of Australia ' occupies the entire continent and only the continent; and as a result many people fail to understand that articles like Law of Australia refer to the ' Commonwealth of Australia ' (including Christmas Island and other possessions , and not the Australian continent which includes the mainland, New Guinea (Papua), Tasmania, the Moluccas Islands, and the Torres Strait Islands. All Best.211.30.95.182 04:17, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Not sure exactly what you mean? Maybe an update to the States and territories of Australia page? Or a xref to Oceania would do? This may be a Sofixit. ;)

If you create an account it is easier to respond - your NSW Optus Net DNS is not very specific. Regards FedLawyer 23:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bigger picture

I don't know of any printable category connections tree, but you could try starting at Wikipedia:Browse and navigating from there to get a good idea of how pages link. For example, click on the law category (under the Society and People heading). On that page, you'll see its subcategories and articles categorized under Law. Click on the subcategory Alcohol law, and you'll notice the same, only with one subcategory and more specific articles this time. You can bookmark certain categories with articles that pertain to your interest and/or print out main category pages to keep track of subcategories, but if this isn't what you're looking for, try asking at Wikipedia:Help desk.

Public Trustee

Hi, added a para about the New Zealand origins and office - really needs an international perspective though :-).

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

Hi FedLawyer,

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.

Each casebook will have a subpage.

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,

Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
