Good article status, eventually.

Task status
infobox: done.

write article: done.

provide external links to decision: done.

initial revision and copyedit (for grammar, spelling, punctuation and basic accuracy) : not done yet.

Shepardize Create redirects (task description): not done yet.
 * subject of the article ← : Pulled up a list of cases showing negative treatment:  there are fourteen, but none of them have overturned the holding of Street.  (This should be double-checked.)  The most salient case showing "negative treatment" Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, the case holding that flag-burning is a constitutionally-protected form of expression.  Next step is to look up 24 N.Y.2d 1026, 250 N.E.2d 250 and 24 N.Y.2d 1039 to find out what happened to the defendant.
 * citations within the article ← not done yet.

fix trial record redlink, either by writing or by finding a suitable target article: not done yet.

expand discussion of impact of decision, and compare with laws in other jurisdictions: not done yet.

optional: change some or all occurrences of "id." to Wikipedia-style citation (i.e., re-use footnote numbers; for example, if sentence 1 and sentence 2 refer to the same source, then instead of having a different footnote for sentence 2 that just says "id.," have both sentences point to the same footnote. Note that most of the citations are just to different parts of the same judicial opinion, so implementing this change will drastically reduce the apparent number of footnotes.)

final revision and copyedit (for style, legal substance and citation form) : not done yet.
