Chris,

I had an "aha moment" while reading your comments on the Arizona v. California article. You discussed the importance of Arizona v. California, 1963 with respect to the general topic, Arizona v. California. Your comments helped me see how outliers like this pose a problem for encyclopedias which tend to be organized into hierarchical categories. Like most of my "aha moments," clarity will come after some reflection. In the meantime, I will watch for the direction you receive from your mentor.

Also, I applaud your idea of identifying this article as being the subject of your WAP project activities. However, I believe that your mentor can suggest a better template because the use of the WAP student template is a little misleading. John Harvey (talk) 21:11, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Re mcarran amendment

Chris, since you created the article in the main space, be prepared for someone to take some shots at it for formatting, etc. Please take a look at a similar article and try to reformat yours accordingly. If you get any challenges, I'll try and step in to mitigate. Prose looks good, but the formatting needs wrk. Good job so farMike Cline (talk) 12:24, 8 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
