File source problem with File:Juntalocationwheel.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thank you for uploading File:Juntalocationwheel.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:29, 28 August 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:29, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Perry v. Schwarzenegger
Based on your edit summary, I'd like to clarify what I think the word "extensively" meant, namely that the case was cited many times, not that extensive parts of the case were cited. I didn't add the word and don't know how many times the Prop 8 proponents cited the case, so I have no idea whether the description is actually true. Nor do I know how many times constitutes "extensively." In addition, I think if one wants to make that point, it would be better to quantify it (e.g., cited eight times, or cited more than four times) and source it rather than using an ambiguous adjective. For that reason, I think your removal of the word is appropriate. If someone wants to go to the work to come up with a number, more power to them. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 23:57, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
aboriginal title - aboriginal case law
I realized this problem yesterday, and reverted by edits to some of the articles. Your proposed solution of "Aboriginal title case law" is excellent, but putting Aboriginal Title as a subcategory of Aboriginal Case Law makes little sense, as most of the articles included in the former are not case law articles. I don't have the time to make the new category at the moment, so I'll just disconnect the two categories for now. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 14:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- Once "Aboriginal title case law" is created, it would be a subcategory of both "Aboriginal title" and "Aboriginal case law." Neither "Aboriginal title" nor "Aboriginal case law" would be a subcategory of the other. Sorry if this wasn't clear from my earlier post. Savidan 16:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Savidan, I did not add that template primarily to annoy you. See talk page for a further questions about where you get your sources from. Mjroots (talk) 17:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Other articles
Is there any article other than the ones you've made refs for, that use the ref format you're using for legal stuff? — Rlevse • Talk • 09:50, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Many. Examples: United States v. One Book Called Ulysses, Zarin v. Commissioner, Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc, Olk v. United States, United States v. Gotcher, Standing (law), Parker immunity doctrine, Noerr-Pennington doctrine, American Booksellers v. Hudnut, Feres v. United States. Unfortunately, the only Featured Article about US precedent is Roe v. Wade which appears to use no citations at all when referring to the case itself! The irony of a situation where one article is able to become featured without even including case citations, yet another is denied an appearance on DKY just because one user dislikes the specific style of case citations, is hardly lost on me.
- Every jurisdiction cites differently. Commonwealth jurisdictions (and their associated articles) seem to use Oxford Standard, and that's fine. In the US, the Bluebook is pretty standard, especially for legal scholarship. If someone wants to use ALWD instead (more common for briefs submitted to courts than legal scholarship), I would defer to the primary author. Savidan 17:41, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Let's agree to disagree over the issue. Legal cases are not my area of knowledge. BTW, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm an admin too, and have also been around for a few years. Mjroots (talk) 05:59, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Battle of Hogwarts
Can you please unprotect Battle of Hogwarts? It has been over two years since you protected it. It is far too extreme to prevent autoconfirmed users from editing the page. The page currently redirects to a non-existant section in an article that does not contain any information about it. McLerristarr | Mclay1 04:26, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Very well, but I would advise you to consult the previous AfDs first if you are considering recreating the article. Savidan 05:18, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you. Although I have no intention of recreating the article myself; I just wanted to fix the redirect. McLerristarr | Mclay1 09:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Please verify the thing I corrected was indeed an error
Hi, I corrected something which I believe was a typo error on your part in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Worcester_v._Georgia&action=historysubmit&diff=392626015&oldid=391406604 . However I want to make sure that I did not just undo an actual correction that you had made, as I am not familiar with the details of the case.
My edit is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Worcester_v._Georgia&action=historysubmit&diff=400220366&oldid=399020572 . Thanks!
