Review and legal expert help needed
editHi @Checkingfax: and Hi @Sainsf: Would you please review this article I've rewritten and suggest someone here at WP who is an expert on legal things please? Thanks. Picomtn (talk)
- I am not acquainted with law-related articles, nor do I know of anyone who might be. I am afraid I can't help with this. About the sources, the Google Scholar links appear to be dead, so you should use cite journal or some other template to let the reader know what exactly the source is, if the URL can't be given.

- Hi @Sainsf: Thanks for looking anyway, you know it's always appreciated. Also, I just rechecked all the links and they all work. Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 11:19, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi @Bearcat:. Are you able to guide me towards a WP legal expert who can sort through all of the legalese regarding this articles case? Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 12:24, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- You could try posting a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law to see if anybody there is willing and able to assist. Beyond that, though, I'm not sure what else to suggest. Bearcat (talk) 15:23, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi @Bearcat:. Thank you very much for this advice, which I've taken as you can view here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law#Robert Provan. Let's hope some legal expert will see this and help this article. Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 18:38, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Picomtn. DESiegel is a top shelf host at the Teahouse and also has an interest in legal topics. He may be able to help you or steer you to help. Cheers!

Links to other articles
editThis articles subject has been linked to Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990#Case law. Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 11:17, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
MOS on quotes
editHi, Picomtn. Please read MOS:QUOTES. For example, per MOS:QUOTES:
Can you think of a more important relationship that a person with a disability has, than the one he has with his physician?
"Can you think of a more important relationship that a person with a disability has, than the one he has with his physician?"[1]
If you notice, I removed the unneeded italics and replaced them with the needed double quote marks. Furthermore, every direct quote on WP must have its citation hanging on the end of the quote, so I added a reference there. Which citation goes with that quote? Please extrapolate this advice to all the other articles you have touched. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk}
