Perry v.
In a note earlier this year on the Perry v. Schwartzenegger, you mentioned that the article at the time contained several misstatements of the ACLU, NCLR, etc. positions on the Perry case. (I've been trying to make some cleanups to the article in general, in part based on a new article on the background of the Perry case in the January 2010 issue of California Lawyer.) If you have any suggestions, etc., I'd love to hear them, it'd be great to have this article in a little better shape before it starts getting media attention when the trial begins in a couple weeks. --Joe Decker (talk) 02:50, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Out of town today, but I saw your response and wanted to get back to you.: Your suggestions sound really sane to me. BTW, the Callawyer article (which someone gave me a photocopy of) is now up on their web site, it wasn't when I read it: http://www.callawyer.com/story.cfm?eid=906575&evid=1  Don't know if we need it in the ref or not, but thought you might want to know of it in any case. --Joe Decker (talk) 18:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

UK Supreme Court case drive
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read this message.

As you may know, the United Kingdom Supreme Court has been hearing cases for about 18 months now, taking over from the House of Lords as the Court of Last Resort for most appeals within the United Kingdom.

During that time, the court has handed down 87 judgements (82 of which were on substantive appeals). Wikipedia covers around 11 of these and rarely in any detail. Some very important cases (including Radmacher v Granatino [2010] UKSC 42 (prenups) and Norris v USA [2010] UKSC 9 (extradition)) are not covered at all.

I'm proposing a drive to complete decent quality articles for all, or at least a good proportion of these cases as soon as possible. If we can eliminate the backlog then a small group of editors might want to stick around to ensure articles are created relatively speedily for new cases. Since the Court process, on average, one case a week this shouldn't be too great a task.

I'd like to ask you to help with this drive, and help make Wikipedia a credible source for UKSC case notes.

How you can help


 * Help me improve this Template:Infobox SCOTUK case based off the US Supreme Court equivalent.


 * Complete that template and add it to existing cases.


 * Improve formatting & prose. Copyediting.


 * Improve the coverage of cases we have articles on, including adding content, sourcing and fact-checking


 * Create new articles for UKSC cases


 * Improve the categorisation and listing of UKSC cases.


 * Improve the judgment listings articles: 2009 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom 2010 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom 2011 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom
