- Much of the text in the 2001: A Space Odyssey plot synopsis appears to be perhaps excessively artistic rather than encyclopedic in nature. For example, in the 3rd paragraph from the bottom of the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite" "This time, there is no sound as the ebon block appears; the process is swift and certain. If man could be made from the ape, what could be made from man?" If this is cited from a text somewhere, it was not in quotation marks. There are a number examples possible throughout the synopsis, with some of the most overt ones in this final section. It just seems rather more poetic and less objective and factual than one would expect from an encyclopedia entry. Lemonsawdust 06:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SCOTUS
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for doing a great job with Wisconsin v. Mitchell. Don't worry about not adding the SCOTUS infobox - it's much more difficult to write up a case than it is to insert a infobox, so you've already done all the heavy lifting. Hope to see you contributing more to SCOTUS cases in the future! If you have a chance, check out the Project Collaboration Article, which is a weekly drive to improve a specific Supreme Court case, and see if it's something that interests you - we'd love to have you onboard.

- I was going to say the same thing RidG said. I've been behind in welcoming new people. In any case, I finally added the infobox, so that's done, and with the new template they are much easier. Hope you'll join us at the next PCA. Cheers and happy editing!--Kchase02 T 18:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

- Good tweaks on the Mitchell page; but isn't it still appropriate to say that "The Court" said something, especially if it's a unanimous decision? Just looking for your thoughts on this. Thanks! Lemonsawdust 05:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- Good question. Gonzales v. UDV references the author, but then uses "the court", so I think you're correct. I'll change it back. Thanks for bringing it up.--Kchase02 T 05:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
