Menominee Tribe v. United States

Nominator(s): GregJackP (talk)

I am nominating this article for featured article, as I believe that it meets the criteria. It is currently a good article, is stable, and is written in accordance with WP:MOSLAW and WP:SCOTUS criteria, especially in regards to the Bluebook reference style (which is slightly different from other reference styles). The case is a leading case in Native American (Indian) law as regards treaty rights. GregJackP Boomer! 18:02, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment—no dab links, no dead external links. Ucucha 18:22, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments -
None of your "Notes" are sourced, some of them are opinion (commonly) and need some sort of sourcing.

Otherwise, sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 23:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question - I initially tried to incorporate references within the footnotes, but I couldn't get it to work - is there a way to do it that I'm not aware of? I will be happy to add those. GregJackP Boomer! 14:12, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check out Go Man Go and how they are done there. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:38, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than describing the two Treaties that came to be known as The Treaty of Washington in a footnote, would it not be better to create the Treaty of Washington article, and sort all of that out over there, with sources and links to each individual treaty? Also, please review WP:PUNC for logical punctuation. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:44, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done-t - Treaty of Washington article, but it will take a day or so. GregJackP Boomer! 00:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you mean on the logical punctuation comment. Please excuse me on this, I'm quite willing to fix it, but this is the first article I've brought to FAC, so I'm sure that I will have missed some points here and there. GregJackP Boomer! 14:12, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PUNC deals with whether the punctuation is part of the original quote and should be included inside or outside of the quotation marks ... it can be tricky, and often requires access to the sources ... if you still don't understand it after reading that page, don't sweat it, as it is not something that will hold up a FAC, but something you should attempt to understand. By the way CJLippert (talk · contribs) is an editor you might want to ping for review of this article (just keep the request neutral to avoid WP:CANVASS).
