Title of this article

I do not understand why the original name of the article (Use of force law in Missouri) wasn't changed to Use-of-force law in Missouri since:

1. For grammatical correctness, it is the compound adjective "Use-of-force" that modifies the noun "law".

2. The article pertains to use-of-force law in Missouri in general, and is not limited to only legal doctrine/common law.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Daniel.inform (talk) 11:01, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

About this article

To my fellow wikipedians, I'm not the best person to write this article. I'm just planting a seed in hopes that someone more qualified will notice and contribute.

As stated in my original edit note (see my 'User contributions'), it is evident that state-by-state articles on this topic are encyclopedic, notable, etc., just as state-by-state articles on same-sex marriage are, because it is the state-by-state laws that primarily govern this area.

I'm only creating an article for Missouri now, as there may be sufficient current interest to properly develop the article. I ask that you make a sincere effort to contribute something constructive, rather than taking the easy way out (nominating for deletion).

Thank you again for your contributions to this new article. Quoting you, "The title "Use of force law in Missouri" lends itself to the conception/misconception that 'force law' or even 'use of force law' is a current concept. It is not." Can you elaborate on this claim that 'use of force law' is not a current concept? References? Perhaps your expertise in this area is beyond mine, I am not a lawyer. Any suggestions as to how to improve?

@
Djbaniel:, I rewrote the article and renamed it to avoid confusion. I also went to the "Shooting of..." article and corrected the link. I apologize for appearing brusque and hope this amends. Cheers, EBY (talk) 23:11, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply
