Thanks

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.

February 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. I know you meant well, but you should achieve a consensus for such a large deletion before making that deletion. SMP0328. (talk) 02:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I fully explained my edit on the discussion page. And I will continue to edit in the best interest of the article. Nwlaw63 (talk) 21:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again

Thanks for your couple of minor edits to improve the Landmark Education page. I do think however that the article needs a much more extensive overhaul - it consists mostly of excessive coverage of marginal critical comments and very little useful information about the subject itself.

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Nwlaw63,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

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:Hornbook as 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 WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to 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.

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 WP:OWN and other policies and guidelines. It is not your place, or that of any other editor, to try to dictate to others what they will or will not deal with, and is in fact a violation of wikipedia conduct guidelines. Please do not engage in such conduct again. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 18:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
