[edit] Nice job so far

My compliments to the previous editors. I didn't realize this page had already been created, and I'm happy to see that so much of what characterizes the UMN Law School has been included. I've done my best to give the article a little bit better organization, as well as include some more details. I have added a picture of the hockey team, I have many more pictures available on my old HD which I will happily put under a creative commons atribution license for this page. A number of my old photos are actually now used by both of the official websites cited at the bottom. Bobak 01:45, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Added new pictures yesterday, added a wicked info box today (I made it from the already existing university info box, but adapted the problematic law school info box used for a few CA law schools). Bobak 01:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reasons for changes (12/28/06):

Since it was asked, here is point-by-point reasoning (working from the top down on this edit I am changing):

• "Law Library" is the proper name of this library. It can be capitalized and wikilinked to a generic article. No sufficient reasons have been offered otherwise, I have restored.
• "Second year J.D students are required to participate in either a moot court or legal journal." is 100% accurate and not in the least bit controversial. It was re-added.
• "established" means they have existed for more than a few years. Is this controversial?
• "(the 14th most cited legal journal[1])" is a fact with citation. It was re-added.
• Alumni related facts that are already sourced by the bottom links have been given their own in-line links.
• Alumni list form: Since Wikipedia is about lists, I've cleaned it up --removing a lot of excessive Wikilinks.
• The "notable faculty" section is lacking in depth and is already halved with the departure of Jim Chen to be the dean of Louisville --leaving one person.

Those are the reasons for the changes here. Please make any comments/questions below. --Bobak 18:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• Didn't mean to make the changes to the above-listed. page seems good right now.Taco325i 19:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• I figured there might have been a disconnect on the other stuff. Just wanted to make sure. It's hard to make more than a few changes and make the notes in the tiny edit summary bar. --Bobak 19:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
