Hi Jrgetsin, I noticed you've made some recent edits to Content management system - I am trying to defend a page for a project that I lead, and request your input on the [discusssion]. Thanks for your time. --Spiderr 23:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was the development of equity complete with the English?

The Anglo-X legal systems (Australia, India, New Zealand, USA, et al.) all received the principles of equity together with the common law, right? Only, when? America, I know, dates the reception of the common law from 1789 when the first written US Constitution was adopted. I know zilch about the history of the common law in the other Anglo-X nations. Can you fill me in? or suggest where to find out more?

What I'm thinking is that the development of equity looks like a tree, a big trunk up to the split off of America, then another branch, and another.

Did English equity develop sufficiently that all derivative systems must tend toward exactly the same set of general principles? Or were the splits in the middle of its development so that permanent differences resulted?

I have never made an academic study of comparative law. Any ideas how to handle this?

My working assumption is that the outline looks like this.

   * Equity
   * The Emergence of the Concept of Equity
   * Universal Maxims of Equity
   * English Equity to 1789
   * Comparative Equity--Contemporary Systems
         o America
         o Australia
         o India
         o New Zealand
         o et al.
   * Prospects for the Synthesis of a Global System of Equity

   * etc etc etc

Equity

Hey, no need to get worked up about it. But Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a judgment. You can't just put dissenting opinions in as you did. Or rather, you can, but that's not the way it's supposed to be. If you want to say something about American equity, then alter the section on it or write a separate one that fits with the rest of the article.GSTQ 23:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Elder law

You certainly will not irritate me with a major edit to the article, quite the opposite, and I'm sure other editors will agree. If you like, I would be happy to take a look at anything you add to make sure it is formatted properly and such.

As I am sure you are aware, elder law is such a "new" area of practice that there are not a large number of good sources out there that effectively synthesize the (huge amount of) information. When you expand the article, though, be sure to cite your sources where possible, and make sure it is presented in encyclopedic language. I imagine your outline will serve as a nice guide for your expansion of the article. Thanks for taking the initiative to expand it!

Thank you for your well-wishes. I'm currently waiting on the bar results *fingers crossed* · j e r s y k o talk · 20:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Complex systems

Thank you for your contribution to the complex system article in the past. Currently there is a Call for Deletion for the associated Category:Complex systems covering this interdisplinary scientific field. If you would like to contribute to the discussion, you would be very welcome. Please do this soon if possible since the discussion period is very short. Thank you for your interest if you can contribute. Regards, Jonathan Bowen 14:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Justice as Fairness

You put some labor into the Equity (law) article. Do you think Justice as Fairness should be merged into Equity (law) or AfD'd? -- Jreferee t/c 19:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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

Hi Jrgetsin,

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.
