Talk:Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference v. Federal Power Commission

Untitled
Great job on the article, the timeline looks fantastic! My suggestions include explaining more on the remand, as well as "linking out" to pages like NRDC and FERC, so that the reader can learn more about the groups involved.

Excellent description and explanation as to why this case is significant.

Looks good. I would recommend re-aligning either the Storm King Mountain info box or the United States Federal Civil Procedure Doctrines info box to the left so that all the boxes don't stack. There is guidance available at: Picture_tutorial

Instead of the New York Court of Appeals general info box, you might want to insert a case box like the one started below specifically for the US Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit. It is formatted to be inserted to your article, but needs some of the case history info populated.

Under the timeline section of the page, it might be helpful to include the court in which the case was tried under each applicable year.

That info box is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thank you both for your input!

From Prof
Your page is coming along. I've made some edits to clean up some wording and added a link or two. I added an opening quotation in the Standing section where there was a closed quote that was unpaired - you may want to look into that. I cannot know if I put it in the right place or if it should be there at all. The language needs to be worked on.

Every statement of fact should be backed up with a reference. There are a number of statements without references.

The lead section should stand alone and be understandable to a general audience.

Delete the Dissenting Opinion section since it isnt' applicable.

Add years to the dates in the Remand section.

Cleanup tags and review notes
Hi all, I reviewed the cleanup tags at the top of the article. I edited the lead a little bit and I think the lead is looking great now in summarizing the impact of the case, but the other issues are still of concern: Some additional notes from me: Hope this helps! Dcoetzee 03:16, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * No other articles currently link to this article. You should try to find relevant related articles in which you can link to this article from an appropriate place. For example, if there is an article on public environmental groups, you could mention this case there.
 * You've added many links to other articles but some parts like the judicial timeline could probably still use some.
 * You note the case's influence in determining that public environmental groups can have standing, but it would be useful to highlight some specific cases (particularly high-profile cases) that explicitly invoke this precedent.
 * The intro and infobox mention "Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference v. Federal Power Commission", but the title mentions "Consolidated Edison v. Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference", and the article later mentions it as well. I've read the article but I'm still quite confused regarding the distinction between these cases, and which one this article is about (both?) Regardless you should consider a rename - titles containing colons, in a "title: subtitle" format like this, are highly unusual.
 * You should avoid legal jargon and abbreviations like "cert. denied. Sub nom." - if you must use jargon write it out in full and link it to the corresponding articles, particularly if it's an important part of the description.

Thanks for this helpful input!

I am just about to include relevant cases per your recommendation.

I've linked the Storm King Mountain page and the David Sive page to yours. You should add a link to your page from the See Also sections on those pages. And link other relevant pages, i.e. Scenic Hudson (if it existed) etc., to your page. Don't hide your light under a bushel! Aarf613 (talk) 00:07, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Added link to Federal Power Act and reference in the info box Captcrunch1 (talk) 03:31, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
