 * The lead is too short, and does not adequately summarize the article. See WP:LEAD.

From a brief look, it appears the article is generally good and I expect we'll eventually pass it, but I may notice some problems when I do a more detailed review later. Ucucha 20:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Under "State enforcement actions", the use of the cite court template results in a period placed randomly within a sentence. This issue recurs under "Federal court of claims".
 * That is a template problem - it is omitting "(Wis., 1963)" from the first citation and "(Ct.Cl., 1941)" in the second. Would you rather I enter it manually or try to get someone to fix the template?  As an interim measure, I will do it manually, until I hear back.   GregJackP   Boomer!   19:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * When a template is emitting the wrong results, I don't think you should use it. Ucucha 21:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree - it was working fine when I put it in the article. Probably one of those evil WikiKnights... :)   GregJackP   Boomer!   03:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there anything to say on the arguments made before the Supreme Court?
 * ❌ - I'll see what I can find, but it is a 1968 case, so I'm not sure what I can find. In any event, I'll let you know.  I've check all the Lexis law review articles, Oyez, Google, GBooks/Scholar, etc, and the case is just too old.  All I can find is the blurb that I mentioned.

 * It's not really an issue if you prefer to keep it as is, but the layout of the "Notes" is odd, with the numbers at a different font size than the notes themselves. I'd recommend getting rid of the "small" tags.

 * Images: File:Stewart potter.jpg lacks a source (I checked, and there is also none in the deleted revisions on en.wikipedia). File:Williamodouglas.jpg has the same issue.
 * , replaced with other images from WikiCommons.  GregJackP   Boomer!   19:26, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The one for Stewart is good, but the one for Douglas (File:Justice_William_O_Douglas.jpg) has baseless licensing: it claims PD on the grounds that the author has been dead for 70 years, but doesn't actually specify the author. Ucucha 21:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll look tomorrow for another one (maybe at Lib of Congress - I already checked SCOTUS, without success).  GregJackP   Boomer!   03:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Uploaded a file from Library of Congress in PD to WikiCommons, replaced image in article with that one. It should now have all of the needed tags.   GregJackP   Boomer!   15:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; I am now passing the article as a GA. Ucucha 16:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
