Fret not, I intend to edit and expand this page massively over the next week or two. -- 8^D BD2412gab 00:45, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)

I am pleased to see that you are proposing to work on this page, because it looks to be exclusively an American page and not at all reflective of the law in other parts of the world. I have quickly written down what I remember of renvoi just to give you a flavour of the problem:

I moved the text to the renvoi page.

I am due to go into hospital soon but I will try to add more material for you to consider before disappearing. All the best. -David91 07:28, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm. Sorry. This is getting too long and I am nowhere near finished (contract is a major area and, even in outline, family law will be substantial). I think we should consider nesting the subject areas on to separate pages and, perhaps, consider creating a separate page for the U.S.? What are your (printable) thoughts? -David91 19:21, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • I can see moving the U.S. stuff to a separate article. -- BD2412 talk 20:56, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

I have created a new page for characterisation (conflict), and moved the relevant material to renvoi. This has reduced the immediate length temporarily. Depending on time remaining, I will flesh out the characterisation and renvoi pages and try to get back here to finish off the subject area rules. All the best. -David91 20:33, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I have now moved the material on the U.S. to a new page and slightly expanded the generic material. As I grow stronger again, I will continue to add to this material. The U.S. material is entirely outside my expertise (such as it is). David91 18:39, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
