Hi, Nwlaw63, and thanks for your thoughtful and helpful comment on the Lanamark Education talk page. Unfortunately, you comment has been used by another editor - Pedant17, who has been persistently trying to stuff the article with anti-Landmark propaganda for several years - to support a view which appears to me to be the opposite of what you suggest.

Thanks for your couple of minor edits to improve the
WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum
Hi Nwlaw63,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
- Each casebook will have a subpage.
- Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
- It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
- Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
- I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbookas our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.
What you can do now:
- 1. Add Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
- 2. If you're a law student,
- Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
- Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.
- (You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
- 3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.
Regards,
Landmark education banner
Just thought you might like to know that removal of a banner from an article, particularly after reasoning for including the banner was given, probably constitutes acting along the lines prohibited by
- Thank you for your comment. I see nothing WP:OWN policy forbidding the removal of inappropriate banners. See my latest comment on the talk page for why the inclusion of this religious material seems very strange to me.Nwlaw63 (talk) 19:44, 24 August 2009 (UTC)]

Hi Nwlaw63, It looks like you have some expertise in law and public policy. I saw some of your contributions on an article that falls within the scope of Wikiproject: United States Public Policy, and I was hoping you would be interested in assessing articles with the Public Policy Initiative. There is more info about assessment on the 9/13/2010 Signpost. Even though assessment is typically for long term Wikipedians the Initiative is also about fostering a friendly environment for new users.

UK Supreme Court case drive
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read this message.
As you may know, the
During that time, the court has handed down 87 judgements (82 of which were on substantive appeals). Wikipedia covers around 11 of these and rarely in any detail. Some very important cases (including Radmacher v Granatino [2010] UKSC 42 (prenups) and Norris v USA [2010] UKSC 9 (extradition)) are not covered at all.
I'm proposing a drive to complete decent quality articles for all, or at least a good proportion of these cases as soon as possible. If we can eliminate the backlog then a small group of editors might want to stick around to ensure articles are created relatively speedily for new cases. Since the Court process, on average, one case a week this shouldn't be too great a task.
I'd like to ask you to help with this drive, and help make Wikipedia a credible source for UKSC case notes.
How you can help
- Help me improve this Template:Infobox SCOTUK case based off the US Supreme Court equivalent.
- Complete that template and add it to existing cases.
- Improve formatting & prose. Copyediting.
- Improve the coverage of cases we have articles on, including adding content, sourcing and fact-checking
- Create new articles for UKSC cases
- Improve the categorisation and listing of UKSC cases.
- Improve the judgment listings articles: 2009 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom 2010 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom 2011 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom

Thanks for cleaning up Uwe Rosenberg's page and updating it with so much useful info. While making a few edits of my own, I noticed by accident that some of your work (the bit about him founding Lookout games in this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uwe_Rosenberg&diff=716815443&oldid=716814144) was hidden on the page the a result of a misplaced closing bracket in a ref tag.

- @Nwlaw63: I do what I can. But the state most of those articles are in.. A deletionist's nightmare. :) I think the project's page needs a styleguide section for "Gameplay" sections. Most of them are 10,000-word manuals — and if you look at the project's talk page, people keep adding new ones along these lines, thinking that's the idea. Do you know if bold editing also applies to project pages? I've joined about a year ago, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to go ahead and come up with guidelines just like that.

Speedy deletion nomination of Near and Far
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read
the guide to writing your first article.to help you create articles.You may want to consider using the Article Wizard
A tag has been placed on Near and Far requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 216.235.231.28 (talk) 14:54, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
