Bluebook
I took the Bluebook template down — if the article states the citations are in Bluebook I think they actually should be, so that if someone copies them they are correct. (Unfortunately our templates add spaces after URLS — I asked if anything could be done about this, but there are some limitations we may just have to accept). I added some of the citations last night and I can't confirm if all the dots and commas are in the right place. Besides, I don't think this template should be added without Masem's agreement since Masem is the primary contributor. SeraphWiki (talk) 17:54, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I have no problem if there wants to be a switch, given that this is more a case of interest on legal sides, rather than a broader case in general news (eg contrast the coverage with something like Gill v. Whitford). If Bluebook or law-style citations make better sense, go for it. --M asem (t) 18:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Regardless of whether or not it currently does, it should eventually follow the Legal Manual of Style because it's a court case, hence the template noting how to conveniently look up that information. lethargilistic (talk) 01:29, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * An MOS:LEGAL notice and the Bluebook citation notice would be better as two notices though — I hadn't thought of it now, but MOS:LEGAL lists 6 or 7 different citation systems depending on whether you are in the US, UK, Australia, etc. SeraphWiki (talk) 01:39, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how you get there because the Bluebook template specifically says that they should use Bluebook, so there is no confusion as to which one is desired. lethargilistic (talk) 04:55, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Another thing to keep in mind is that MOSLEGAL suggests only using bluebook or a similar legal style if the article references a lot of case law, as to thus harmonize citations. I built most of this from non-case law sources so there might not be a need to do it. --M asem (t) 13:57, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
