Discussion

I'd love to have a couple of editors making progress on this subject area, but I don't think this is a good choice for a WikiProject. I suggest that you take over WP:LAW, which is only barely active. Working with the larger project will give you higher visibility, and might give you useful information for "compare and contrast" work, which is important to our global community.

Of course, if it ever got active enough, you could split off into task forces later, but for right now, I think the best thing to do is to find a dozen friends and revive the existing law project. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:50, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't see the point. WikiProject Law is mostly US stuff now and there are already hundreds of US related projects including courts and judges and congress which would have huge overlaps in this project. I just don't think there is enough support for another splinter US related project until we get some of the other defunct and inactive ones cleaned up. I'm not going to be editing much more after the next couple days so I am not going to oppose it I just wanted to add my 2 cents. --Kumioko (talk) 16:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
