Pass. I'm actually going through a list of unmarked BLPs (a small list of 300 articles, part of a much bigger selection). It would be interesting to see what I'm seeing there is representative of the whole, or not. See the following: AN discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive187#Putting_biographies_in_Category:Living_people Worklists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nixeagle/BLPPotential The 300 I'm working through: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Carcharoth/Sandbox3 Further thoughts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Carcharoth/Biographical_and_new_articles_checklist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Carcharoth/Biographical_and_new_articles_checklist Old proposal I made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons/Archive_20#Workflow_and_project_management_proposal Carcharoth ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
[WikiEN-l] Legal examination
Examination Question: Read the following "Sarah H. Cleveland is the Louis Henkin Professor of Human and Constitutional Rights at Columbia Law School. She is a noted advocate of the use of international law in U.S. courts. In her widely celebrated 2007 Civil Procedure final exam, she referenced Wikipedia to highlight how fraught personal jurisdiction issues have become in the Internet age. Students were asked to analyze whether an allegedly defamatory Wikipedia page edit could establish jurisdiction over the user in an unforeseeable State, so long as the defamation created harm in that State. She is a graduate of Brown University, University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and Yale Law School." Taken from Wikipedia's article on Prof. Cleveland. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sarah_Cleveland&oldid=255771191 Students should now write an essay on one of the following: 1) In terms of personal jurisdiction, analyze whether an allegedly defamatory Wikipedia page edit can establish jurisdiction over the user in an unforeseeable state, so long as the defamation created harm in that state. Or 2) Discuss why this particular Wikipedia article is bullshit. ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
