[edit] Court citations and infoboxes.

Greetings. I noticed that you've been working on court citations and infoboxes in some cases, and wanted to point out that we have been having a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases about standardizing the use of these features. The "Link to Court Citation and footnote to external link" seems to have the most support (or at least the least opposition), and I've recently changed all of the cases I contributed over to that format. (see, e.g., Muskrat v. United States. Cheers! BD2412 T 12:38, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Wikiprojects never die - they just take extended naps! The rationale for the favored citation is pretty strong, tho - not having an external link in the first line of text. I'm working on a compromise idea for infoboxes to make them more flexible - basically, to stack three on top of each other, one with the citation and case history, one with the bench, and one with the opinions.

    • The category automatically attaches when you put the template ( {{user en}} ) on your userpage. BD2412 T 18:12, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Table, tags

Well, you're welcome. I'm always happy to know Wikipedia has such committed new users.

As for tables, there's a great tutorial of sorts at Help:Table. Tables in Wikipedia were once solely HTML, but I think the MediaWiki version has allowed tables for about a year or so.

The citation template is written as follows: {{ussc|x|y|YEAR}}, which will produce a citation like x U.S. y (YEAR). I can't recall what the numbers x and y refer to, but you might.

If you need any more assistance, I'll be happy to help. --Merovingian 22:21, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, DavidDouthitt, for the corrections you made to the Shell provider article. Your changes were minor, but your work for the gradual improvement of Wikipedia is appreciated by many, including those who do not often make it verbal. - Chrisbrunner.com 12:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
