Article Feedback

Hello Serena! Your article is very informative, but as you are editing I would read the sections you are working on aloud as some of the wording in the article is a little weird at times and parts of the article verge on not being a neutral point of view by making statements about what facts represent rather than delivering the cold hard facts themselves. I also included some image ideas in my recommendations to make the article more illustrated- although what you have in terms of maps adds a lot to the article in my opinion. Overall though you are on the right track and did a great job with the content and sources! KaelaWilbur (talk) 01:25, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

legal cases in Wikidata

@S.shedore: Might you have thoughts on the ideal representation of legal cases in Wikidata?

In particular, I'm struggling with Fish v. Kobach, which was a bench trial in United States District Court for the District of Kansas. It was appealed multiple times to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The name was changed to Fish v. Schwab after Scott Schwab replaced Kris Kobach as Secretary of State of Kansas and Schwab decided to appeal. I think it has also been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, but I'm having trouble getting documentation on the current status of that.

I've found a list of docket entries with courtlistener.com. However, I have yet to find the list of docket entries at the Tenth Circuit and the Supreme Court.

I'm not sure, but I think there should be one Wikidata entry for the original case with separate Wikidata entries for each appeal. Each Wikidata entry should probably include a link to the list of docket entries for the case in PACER (law) if it's in PACER or to any comparable system that has it. If the Free Law Project has it (like the courtlistener.com link above), then it should have a link to that, I think.

If you can outline a sensible way to do this, a good place to put that might be in Wikiversity:School:Law. If you are a student and could find a law prof willing to help, that could be great. I can share what I know about using Wikidata in Wikiversity and Wikipedia, etc. I created the article on Fish v. Kobach, but I'm not an attorney.

If you know how to find different cases in PACER and courtlistener.com, it would be good to have that documented in Wikiversity, I think.

What do you think? Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 21:54, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
