Heffernan v. City of Paterson

[edit]

Created by Wugapodes (talk), Daniel Case (talk), and Neutrality (talk). Nominated by Wugapodes (talk) at 00:14, 3 May 2016 (UTC).

  • This article was created on April 26 (seven days before it was nominated at DYK), the article is well over 1500 characters, and the article is neutral. There are, however, two citations that need to be added before this nomination can be approved:
  1. The first paragraph of the "History" section (the one that begins "The case took a decade ...") needs citations.
  2. In the "District Court" section, you say that Heffernan "relied on" Pickering and its progeny. Can you cite to his brief or somewhere that shows that he argued those cases should be followed?
Otherwise, QPQ is satisfied, the hooks are interesting, and they and supported by inline citations. The original hook is my favorite, but by my count, it is 201 characters. I'm willing to let it slide if others are as well. If not, maybe you can trim down a word or two? Thanks again for your great work with this article. It is an excellent addition to Wikipedia's coverage of SCOTUS cases. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:23, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
