Feeder judge edit
Judge Learned Hand
- ... that Judge Learned Hand (pictured) was one of the earliest feeder judges in the United States?
- Comment: Not particularly wedded to this hook. ÷seresin 04:25, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Created by Seresin (talk). Self-nominated at 04:25, 9 July 2015 (UTC).
Passes DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. A well-written and well-sourced article; I learned something new today. I actually like the hook even if you are not wedded to it, especially because of this judge's applicably unusual name. The only issue is technical: References 5, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20, and 22 are causing errors, as clicking on their link does not lead the reader to their citation. I can help you with this error if you would like; I suggest separating the citations from the sources as I have done in the article of my DYN nomination above. When this is corrected I will be very happy to recommend this DYN. Prhartcom (talk) 15:32, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- Fixed the Baum citation, but I can't figure out what is wrong with the Ward ones. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:37, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Well, the same errors are occurring with the same references. Separating the citations from the sources will correct what is wrong, I was just waiting for Seresin to return, who has not been active since nominating this. Prhartcom (talk) 12:17, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry for that; I pushed the article out just before I left the country for a vacation and haven't been very responsive. I know the references are something of a mongrel; I don't like the citation format where the system renders page numbers next to the footnote call, and I couldn't think of another way to cite to specific page numbers. Do you know of another way to make it work? ÷seresin 01:46, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Seresin, hope you are having a good vacation. I have just made the necessary corrections to the article. I had written some instructions for you then self-reverted them, as I learned it is possible to mix inline
{{cite xxx}}template calls with inline {{sfn}} template calls (at first I had recommended you use one or the other, then learned it is possible to use both). The technical problem you had caused was mostly with your incorrectly formatted {{sfn}} template calls; it is necessary to include both authors, the year, and the correctly formatted page number parameter (this is the classic Harvard reference). The{{cite xxx}}templates also must format both authors correctly. 
Good to go. Prhartcom (talk) 12:50, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
