Introduction

Students in the University of California Berkeley's Fall 2009 Intellectual Property Law for the Information Industries course seek to improve Wikipedia pages related to Intellectual Property law topics. (It's also an assignment.)

They've identified the following pages that they may work on:

Some Wiki Resources From Your Fellow Classmates

• I found the following page to be a good starting point for figuring out wikipedia law articles: Wikipedia:WikiProject Law
  
• I also found this page where featured law articles are listed: Wikipedia:Featured Article#Law
  
• Something else that I am using is changedetection.com, which lets you watch web pages so that you know when they change.
  
• You can get a more full-featured editor by installing a Greasemonkey script called wikEd.
• Every user has a sandbox where they can play with things (like draft versions of their page). It's here.

Guidelines to Remember

Content Guidelines

General Overview
Wikipedia:Five pillars
Wikipedia:List of guidelines
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (legal)

Wikipedia's Three Core Content Policies:
Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Wikipedia:Verifiability
Wikipedia:No original research

Technical Guidelines

Citations
References Generally: Learn how to do references
For example, here is a good citation to Baker v. Selden, 101 U.S. 99 (1879).
I made that reference with the following text:
<ref name=Baker>''Baker v. Selden'', [http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/US/101/101.US.99.html 101 U.S. 99] (1879).</ref>

If I cite to that same reference again later, then I just need: <ref name=Baker>.

Cases: To the extent possible, provide links to publicly-available versions of all court opinions mentioned. A good source of Federal opinions is http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/

Statutes: How to cite to the United States Code (U.S.C.)

Wikilinks: In general, provide links to other articles of relevance within Wikipedia.

Choose a Category/Categories for the page you edit
One of the following categories might fit the page you edit:
Category:United States internet case law
Category:United States copyright case law
Category:United States federal intellectual property legislation

Category:United States Supreme Court cases
Category:United States Court of Appeals cases
Category:United States district court cases
Category:California state case law

or look for a better category in the Category tree.

Don't let the page you edit be an orphan
Click the "What links here" link in the toolbox on the left-hand margin of the page you edit and make sure it has at least three incoming links (from pages other than this one) and think about what other pages in Wikipedia ought to link to the page you edit and then add such links.

Infobox Templates Some articles, particularly case summaries, have an Infobox on the right-hand side, providing key details of the case. If you would like to use such an Infobox, here are some that may be of use:
Template:Infobox SCOTUS case Infobox for Supreme Court of the United States cases.
Template:Infobox COA case Infobox for Court of Appeals cases.
Template:Infobox High Court Template to create an Infobox for state Supreme Court cases.
Template:Infobox California Supreme Court case Infobox for California Supreme Court cases.
Template:Infobox Court Case Template to create an Infobox for other U.S. court cases, such as lower state courts or U.S. District courts. This template should automatically choose the correct image of the Court's seal from Template:Infobox Court Case/images.
Other Infoboxes are topical rather than court-specific. You can see a list of some of these at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Law page.
