[edit] Equal Protection Clause

Hi Scarykitty, thank you for your comments on Equal Protection Clause. The following is a copy of the message I left at that article's talk page for you. I appreciate very much that you took the time to read the article. Here is why I disagree with your suggestions, however; please tell me if I misunderstand or misconstrue any of them.

  1. I was under the impression that the Fourteenth Amendment case law category included only that—case law. Indeed, the listing of articles on its category page seems to bear out this impression. Now certainly, all of the cases listed in the Equal Protection Clause article ought to be listed under the category of Fourteenth Amendment case law (as well as under the category called "Equal Protection cases"). But I figure listing the Equal Protection Clause itself as case law is both inaccurate and potentially confusing.
  2. What sort of modern interpretations and implications are you referring to? If I've missed something, please add in, or perhaps you should just clarify what you mean.
  3. I'm not sure what "school drug zone case" you're talking about. The closest thing I can think of is United States v. Lopez, which was a case about federal regulation of guns in school zones. Lopez was a Commerce Clause case, not an Equal Protection Clause case—though you're absolutely right that Lopez was something of a departure from post-1937 Commerce Clause jurisprudence.
  4. I think using the phrase "judicial action is state action" in summing up Shelley v. Kraemer isn't a bad idea at all. Here's what's stopping me from doing that, however: Shelley is something of a outlier in Equal Protection jurisprudence; I can't think of one significant case since Shelley that has used the maxim "judicial action is state action" to expand the reach of the Equal Protection Clause. (For example, private contracts or covenants that exclude women from country clubs—see Augusta National Golf Club—are still perfectly enforceable in the courts, despite Shelley.)

At any rate, thanks for your helpful comments. I encourage you to participate in the never-ending editing process of this article! Hydriotaphia 08:24, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Please note that "non-notable" isn't a CSD

Only nominated pages to be Speedy Deleted if they satisfy one of the criteria. "Non-notable" isn't one of them. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks! JesseW, the juggling janitor 04:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Join the task force!

Seems like you're interested in categorizing uncategorized articles. Why not make it "official" and sign up for the uncategorized task force: Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories/uncategorized! →EdGl 23:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kalduny/work

Actually it can be speedied, it is the original article before I took it to AFD then rewrote to meet everybodies critique. It's old and outdated :). Nashville Monkey 06:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lorn Brown

I didn't remove the tag nominating Mr. Brown's page for execution, but I think Mr. Brown qualifies as notable under the critera below:

Entertainers: actors, comedians, opinion makers, and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films, stage plays or television productions. Notability can be determined by:

  • ...
  • Wide name recognition
  • Commercial endorsements of notable products

His name certainly garners recognition among the baseball fan bases of the three Major League cities he's announced in. And his commercial endorsements he's made as spokesman for huge corporations are noted. Millions and millions have heard his voice pitch Budweiser beer and the NFL. And if many didn't know the name behind the voice, that's what encyclopediae are for. (UTC)

Hello,
I just observed that, you left a note to this user in his talk page. However, please note that, this user is banned from editing Wikipedia permanently. - KNM Talk 00:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I moved the article to a more appropriate title, Maharashtra geet. Will see what can be done to expand it. utcursch | talk 03:47, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uncategorised "good" articles

I could certainly generate a list of uncategorised articles over a certain length (did you have a particular threshold in mind, or do you know what Martin was using?). Taking number of links or other markup into account would be a bit trickier, but perhaps it'd be worth starting a discussion at the "uncat" project as to the best ways to think about organising this? I'm also trying to get some agreement at WP:WSS that more of these should be tagged as stubs, rather than as uncategorised, which might help somewhat. Alai 15:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps what I'll do is post a more detailed breakdown by size of the articles uncategorised in the next db dump. It would be possible to split up the articles by size-based chunks, as well as by date, but the smaller ones will have to be dealt with one way or another, so beyond tagging the shortest ones with "stub", and the rest with "uncat", I'm not sure what other resources are ultimately available. Alai 19:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure I follow what you mean by "dealt with elsewhere (or at least tagged)". If they've been dealt with, what's the problem? Tagged in what way? Sorry if I'm being slow... Alai 19:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, yes, I agree that does indeed occur. One might say that's a beneficial side-effect from having a two-month backlog (every cloud, etc). But what does it suggest doing any differently from what's happening at present? Alai 23:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

But that was in response to what you seemed to be suggesting about not tagging the short ones, or tagging them differently, or whatever it was you had in mind. If tagging shorter ones leads to them being dealt with (whether it be by article regulars sooner, or by "FIFO" categorisers later), then that would seem like an argument to keep on tagging them. If they're not being dealt with, then not tagging them doesn't make them go away, either. It should go without saying that just because an article is in the categorisation queue, if it's more appropriately dealt with by tagging for cleanup, or deletion, etc, then a "category editor" doing those things, rather than categorising it regardless.

[edit] Wright Center

You've worked a little on this article. You may have noticed it lacks 3rd party sources. Can you provide any? It would greatly strengthen the article. DGG 23:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
