Some Wiki Resources From Your Fellow Classmates

[edit]

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.

Technical Guidelines

[edit]

Citations
References Generally: Learn how to do references
For example, here is a good citation to Baker v. Selden, 101 U.S. 99 (1879).[2]
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>

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:Internet_privacy
Category:Privacy_law
Category:Internet_censorship
Category:Network_neutrality
Category:United_States_internet_case_law
Category:United_States_copyright_case_law
Category:United_States_federal_intellectual_property_legislation
Category:Obscenity_law

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.
