Talk:William Rehnquist/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

I delisted this article almost a year ago. However, two of my concerns have not been adressed yet:


 * 1) The lead does not satisfies WP:LEAD. It is too short (please expand to 4 paragraphs) and fails to summarize the article. It should include a better summary of judical phylosophy of Rehnquist, not only his position on federalism.


 * 2) Every case mentioned should have a citation. Since some cases are cited using ussc template, please, use it.

After reading the article again I have additional suggestions:


 * 3) Some statements need citations. I put cn tags.


 * 4) The sections about Placidyl Addiction and Personal health should be merged.


 * 5) Section about Analysis of Tenure as Chief Justice should be removed&mdash;it is basically a POV albeit well cited and it adds nothing to the article. There are other POV statements in the article. While I removed several of them, some remain. For example: the supposed three principles of his jurisprudence outlined in Associate Justice section. I doubt that Rehnquist himself ever formulated them in such a form. This is an opinion of a commentator.

I will place the article on hold. Ruslik (talk) 09:18, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Anyone who seriously studies Rehnquist would agree that the three principles of jurisprudence as outlined were a good guide for what Rehnquist's votes were like. Why does Rehnquist have to have formulated them that way himself? He did outline a view of jurisprudence early on in his judicial career, but went on to violate it many times.

 * Seven days have passed and I do not see any progress. So the article is failed. I hope somebody will do it in the future. Ruslik (talk) 09:33, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
