Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

I have commenced a review of this article. Please see the article review's talk page. At this stage, it's mainly about citations. Looking good, though. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:05, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Wondering if you are planning to have a look at this. Some changes have been made, some not. Drop me a line to discuss, but i am dropping in on the page each day too. hamiltonstone (talk) 22:45, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, I won't expect significant changes for a week or so. Good luck with the move. hamiltonstone (talk) 02:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Since you have started to work on this again, I thought I would provide quick feedback about two issues.

1) You have been clearing the cite tags with reference, which is great. What I was thinking was needed was refs like the Patterson book you added in recently, not only court cases (where relevant). For example, after this: "The Court has also greatly expanded the reach of procedural due process, requiring some sort of hearing before the government may terminate civil service employees, expel a student from public school, or cut off a welfare recipient's benefits" you added the relevant case. That is an improvement, but what I was really hoping for was a published source for the interpretation of the case's effects, particularly the phrase "...has also greatly expanded the reach of procedural due process...". Are you able to find that, both here, and for "the Court has extended the reach of the Equal Protection Clause to other historically disadvantaged groups, such as women and illegitimate children, although it has applied a somewhat less stringent test than it has applied to governmental discrimination on the basis of race"?

2) See new comments (which I am about to go and write!) at the GA talk page re the lead. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 04:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

(outdent) This article has gone quiet. It's better, but I don't really want to pass it without more citations in the article. See also the GA review talk page. Are you in a position to help? Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been somewhat busy lately. I thought we took care of all the GA issues? Idag (talk) 15:57, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

It may be my fault. Though I tagged some cases where citations were lacking, I think there were more such cases, particularly later in the article. I have added three new ones myself (with the help of some hints in other WP articles), but there are other things I just can't solve myself. Have a look and see what you think. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Just took a look and I don't see any tags, though thank you for adding the much-needed refs! Am I missing something? Idag (talk) 23:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not making myself very clear am I?! I had meant that there were places in the article that I had not specifically tagged, that needed refs. I will go through and mark the key ones (in my view). Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

(outdent)Please see my discussion of references here for clarification of why I am tagging certain parts of thie article. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 02:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I have failed the article owing to the long time lag on dealing with the citations issue. As I noted at the review talk page, I will be happy to revisit in future if the citations get hunted down and added. Feel free to ping me at my talk page if you want me to revisit a review if/when you or another editor wants to renom this article. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Atlas Shrugged Article

Hello! As a member of Wiki Project Objectivism would you please see my post on the excessive coverage of fictional technology, etc. in Atlas Shrugged and my proposal to replace it with more coverage of the meaning of the events in that novel. Thanks. —Blanchette (talk) 03:31, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
