[edit] Application
I am concerned that additions to this section have included too many references to small pieces of specific cases without any context or explanation for their importance. For example, the recently added piece.
- "Painter Chapman Kelley received a preliminary favorable ruling from Judge David Coar on September 27, 2007. Kelley is the plaintiff in a federal lawsuit invoking VARA against the Chicago Park District."
I'm not sure how this helps anyone understand the Act. Now, if this is a particularly important case or newsworthy example of it, then it could be included, but it needs to have some explanation for its importance. This section should not be a dumping ground for spot dispositions of random cases that happen to involve the law. This law is not so esoteric that every invocation of it deserves mention. I've removed that line, however if there is more context to support its relevance then that should be added back into the article along with the removed piece.LH (talk) 19:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
