Clifford Orwin

I nominated this article for deletion, and want to clarify that I didn't mean any offence. You're clearly new to Wikipedia; your article was very well written, but I would advise you to read the Wikipedia notability guidelines. Your article doesn't appear to satisfyWP:PROF, the Wiki policy about inclusion of academic figures. Alternatively, if you can provide adequate sources that assert the notability of Professor Orwin, then add them, and leave a comment on the deletion debate. Please don't be discouraged, and don't give up editing Wikipedia just because of this. Walton monarchist89 17:14, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I have been working on the article; I'd say it is now perfectly good. Charles Matthews 21:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks everyone for the help on my first article.--Markdsgraham 21:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I've withdrawn the AfD, as the article's now adequately sourced and provides evidence of Professor Orwin's contributions - he's more notable than I thought. Excellent first contribution. Walton monarchist89 17:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

A question about citation

Hi, mate. I'm a doctor and a law student from Australia. I'm writing an article at the moment on the definition of death around the world, particularly as it relates to brain death. I found a couple of statutes on canlii.org and I wonder if I've cited them correctly:

Human Tissue Donation Act, R.S.P.E.I. 1988, c. H-12.1 s 1(b); Vital Statistics Act, C.C.S.M. c. V60 s 2.

Have I done this right?

In Australia, we generally don't consolidate legislation into codes. I'm a bit confused about what RSPEI and CCSM mean, and whether there's a better way to do it.

Anyway, all I'm trying to show is that in Canada, the law recognizes the concept of brain death. - Richard Cavell 02:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

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

Hi Markdsgraham,

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.

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
