Talk:United States v. Approximately 64,695 Pounds of Shark Fins

Other oddly named cases
Should there be an "Unusually-named court cases" category on the wiki? I don't know if any others have articles, but I have heard of such cases as United States vs. Pipe on Head. Hellbus (talk) 01:37, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably not; it's somewhat subjective as to what constitutes an "unusual name". Consider Stoner v. California ... it's unintentionally funny, enough that I got it to DYK last year on April 20. Perhaps we should have a category for in rem cases, though, as that's verifiable. Daniel Case (talk) 01:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * And in rem cases generally have odd names, which can be unintentionally funny. I agree with this category suggestion. Hellbus (talk) 01:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It exists as Category:United States civil forfeiture case law.  Blue Rasberry    (talk)   01:02, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I still think we can have a category for in rem cases, since not every one of them is a civil forfeiture case (Quantity of Books v. Kansas and United States v. Thirty-seven Photographs, for instance (OK, I wrote them both) are obscenity cases). Daniel Case (talk) 02:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

This all seems like standard fare for WP:UA Maltice (talk) 00:31, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * We have a category called Category:United States in rem cases now. Mz7 (talk) 03:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, and the article's already in it. Daniel Case (talk) 05:45, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Shark Conservation Act section
I don't see a reason for us to have this much information about the Act in this article, more than the main article on the Act does. I propose that we move the text from this section over to the Shark Conservation Act article and then cut the prose in this article down. Any objections?

 * Not really. I sort of wrote that much upon seeing that the article on the law was as thin as it was. Most of the procedural detail should go over there, with just the material on how it responded to the loophole created by the decision staying here (i.e., the specific changes, and the implicit and explicit responses to the court).
