Precious

justice

Thank you for professional quality articles on law cases and their background, your "own" such as Schmerber v. California and Circuit split, and those of others, such as Bowman v. Monsanto Co., for a great opening statement: "I like to be creative - I like to be profound. I have come here to learn." - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Gerda -- thank you so very much for this honor! It really means so much to receive this award. I truly appreciate everything you do for the community, and I hope to have the opportunity to create many more articles in the future. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! In order to write more articles, I reduced giving Precious from daily to special ;) - What you did about the two articles of our missed friend (who joined the cabal of the outcasts only to leave, speaking as clearly as the first time) warmed my heart. I also liked your waiting for a better date of a main page appearance. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:52, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello,

Disambiguating SCOTUS cases

Is there a typical way to disambiguate similarly named SCOTUS cases? I was going to write on Lockhart v. United States (577 U.S. ___ (2016)), but realized there are other cases that have the same or similar name (City of Lockhart v. US (1983), Lockhart v. US (2005)). I disambiguated the two Lockhart v. US cases by a parenthetical year, but would it be better to use the full name (ie, Avondale Lockhart v. US and James Lockhart v. US)? Your thoughts on this? Wugapodes (talk) 23:28, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

@Wugapodes: When multiple SCOTUS cases have the exact same name, we usually differentiate between them by placing the year in which the case was decided in the article's title. If one case is signifacntly more well-known than the others, that will usually be the primary topic, and we direct readers to a disambiguation page via a hatnote. Here are a few examples:

• United States v. Jones (2012), which has a hatnote to United States v. Jones (disambiguation)
• Jones v. United States (a DAB page)
• United States v. Johnson (a DAB page)
• Johnson v. United States (2015), which has a hatnote to Johnson v. United States (2000)

If you enter Lockhart v. United States into the search function, you are directed to a DAB page that lists several cases, each of which is distinguished by year (actually, it looks like you created this page); one of those cases is the one you just created. I would keep the title of the article for the 2016 case as-is because it properly reflects the title that is on the slip opinion, and will likely be the title that is listed in the United States Reports. In any event, I am excited to see that you are writing more articles about SCOTUS cases! If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope all is well and I hope you are enjoying a nice weekend! Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:05, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

On a side note: I really enjoyed doing this review. Once I am back online in mid-April, I plan on having a closer look at doing additional reviews in the Law space. The articles I have read in this subject area are among the better-written, better-referenced work, and are fun to dig into. Thank you again for your efforts in this area! --Concertmusic (talk) 23:45, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

@Concertmusic: Thanks so much for the kind words! Your review was excellent, and I really appreciate your willingness to work quickly through the process. Also, you may be interested to know that I created an article about close cases and added a wikilink at Prado Navarette v. California (you mentioned in the GA review that it was still something that needed to be explained). Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. All the best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

The new page for Close case is an excellent addition to the encyclopedia - thank you! I have added a few commas to the article on Navarette, as discussed, but please feel free to review and edit if necessary.

Ha Lachma Anya

Hi, I am totally behind your building a prep set for Passover, but I think that the articles you've been writing are a bit fuzzy on "who says" the information. Instead of writing "some say" or "commentators suggest", just use the name of the author of the book ("According to Friedman"). (When you say "commentator", I think Rashi, not a modern scholar.) In this article, the beginning of the History section also makes it sound like that Haggadah was put together piecemeal. I think you should lead off with a brief explanation of the authorship of the Haggadah and the time period it was written before saying this is one of the oldest parts of the Haggadah. I also think it's important to discuss why this text combines Aramaic and Hebrew words. However, if this is the extent of your start-article, maybe I'll add something later. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 16:37, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Per your advice, I identified commentators in the commentary section by name, rather than simply as "commentators say, etc." I also added a paragraph to the history section to provide background about the authorship of the Haggadah, which will hopefully provide needed context. Of course, I certainly welcome your help expanding this article. I'm going to do a little more background research about why Ha Lachma Anya appears in Aramaic, but my understanding has always been that it was written in Aramaic so that more people could understand it (or so that children can understand it). While doing a quick internet search, I found a PDF copy of the portion of the Artscroll Haggadah with some interesting commentary (I also found this interesting explanation from Rabbi Yochanan Zweig, which says "It is therefore appropriate to begin the Seder in Aramaic for this is the language that symbolizes the sensitivity of seeing the perspective of another"). Thanks again for your advice and feedback; I very much appreciate your help with this. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

You can see in the ArtScroll PDF the words "L'shanah ha'baah" and "L'shanah ha'baah bnei chorin" are in Hebrew. That's what I meant. Yoninah (talk) 18:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean. I thought you meant that the article should explain why the Haggadah includes both Hebrew and Aramaic. Do you know of any sources that explain why those potions are in Hebrew? -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes. I hope to get to it later this week. I'm also busy cleaning for Pesach :) Yoninah (talk) 19:11, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

I started looking around online for more info, and realize that you and I are approaching this topic from opposite perspectives. I am coming from a religious perspective and you from a scholarly perspective. Every year the religious publishing world comes out with many new Haggadahs for people to learn from, and they are not learning anything like what you are reporting in your article. (See this for example.) This is a basic problem that I have with Jewish articles on Wikipedia, and it's why I don't work hard on inserting the religious perspective, because someone will always come along and either dilute it with scholarly theories or delete the religious stuff entirely. I prefer to spend my time working on more straightforward and uncontroversial articles, like the Maxwell House Haggadah. Hope you understand. Yoninah (talk) 23:26, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

L'Shana Haba'ah

Hi, I'm afraid this new article is a cotton-candy interpretation of what the phrase means. You're even treating it as a "song"! If you would look at Orthodox interpretations rather than "Judaism for beginners" books, you would be able to write a more comprehensive and truthful article. IMO this needs a rewrite. Yoninah (talk) 16:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: please understand that I meant no disrespect to this Tefillah (or the minhag of reciting L'Shana Haba'ah at the end of the Seder) with the article that I wrote. The limited commentary section is simply a reflection of the fact that I have limited time available for writing articles, and I certainly recognize that this topic deserves a much more thorough article. I characterized L'Shana Haba'ah as a song because there is a melody associated with L'Shana Haba'ah and a number of sources characterize it as a song (see, e.g., R' Telushkin's Jewish Literacy). Of course, if there are portions of the article that you think are incorrect, please let me know, and I would certainly appreciate your help expanding the article. Thanks again for your help and guidance! Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:09, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Reed v. Gilbert: GA

I don't know if you noticed this but the reviewer for this GA nomination seems to be a high school student with an interest mostly (or exclusively) in pop music. He may be in over his head.
