User:Davide001/Pennsylvania v. Nelson
Hi.

Someone asked me to have a quick look at User:Davide001/Pennsylvania v. Nelson, so here's some comments;


 * External link needs moving in current U.S. code can be found here. - we only put external links as either references (footnotes), or in a section at the end, == External links == - see WP:EL
 * 'Background' after the quotes all needs refs
 * "The Constitutional Question" is unreferenced
 * "Supreme Court Decision / Opinion of the court" has only 1 ref, and seems to be non-neutral/opinion/original research e.g.  "Warren showed that if every state were to have different laws, it would create confusion with different laws" - who says?
 * "See Also" should not have links to external websites
 * References - should be formatted so that the title is the link, not showing the URL; e.g. Example = Example
 * Check the section headings. e.g.   "See Also"  should be   "See also"   and    "Supreme Court Decision / Opinion of the court"   is similarly wrong (in caps, and should avoid a / ) - see Mos
 * " Warren, Earl, http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0350_0497_ZO.html " is used twice, so a named reference would be nicer; e.g.

Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). See user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.


 * Too much of it is quoted; quotes - non-free content has to be used transformatively (one of the factors of fair use). This is why NFC says that "Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea." In complying with our approach to non-free text, we can't really just copy the content because we want to also share the information. In that case, we should rewrite the material in our own words, using brief quotations only as necessary for a purpose.

The last point, and the need for references for everything, are the most critical; see WP:QUOTEFARM and WP:V.
