Untitled

completed general copyediting and added content on the first justices in the history section. I used generic he/him when referring to the justices Rosalina523 (talk) 22:40, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He/She

Is it nessecary to use He/She when refering to justices on the court? They are all men, and there has never been a woman on the court in the past. So what reason would we put she? If there was a woman, then we could she. But until, he is what we should stick with i think. I will leave it as it is now, but I would like another opinion please. :) Charles Edward 14:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Use He. Reywas92 ^Talk 21:19, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I have reverted the edit to only use HE. Charles Edward 21:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Supreme Court of Indiana/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the History section, "In 1824", "In 1865", "In 1867", "In 1970", "In 2004", "In 2008" add a comma after "1824", "1865", "1867", "1970", "2004", and "2008".
Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
It would be best if the references use the {{cite web}} template.

B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
Does Reference 8 cover all this ---> "The Supreme Court oversees several committees that administer the entire judicial branch of the state government. The Board of Law Examiners is chaired by a Justice of the court and is charged with setting standards for admission to the Indiana Bar Association, and testing applicants for qualifications to practice law in the state. A Justice also chairs the Disciplinary Commission, which is responsible for taking actions against members of the bar for misconduct, including revoking licenses to practice law. The Indiana Commission for Continuing Legal Education, which continually educates members of the Indiana Bar Association, reports directly to the Supreme Court. The Judicial Nominating and Qualification Commissions are chaired by the Chief Justices and is responsible for selecting candidates to fill court vacancies and recommend retirement for judges due to age or disability. The entire court takes part in the annual Judicial Conference of Indiana, attended by all the state's judges, who recommends improvements to the Supreme Court and the judiciary. The court is also responsible for implementing all laws passed by the General Assembly that affect the judiciary"?
Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
If the above statement can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thank you for your review, I should be able to address these concerns this evening. Charles Edward 23:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Commas are added.
Yes, that ref is for that entire portion. It links to a summarization of all the committees, and with links to more detailed info on each committee.
I believe everything is either cite web or cite book except the refs to the Indiana Code and Constitution. Are those what you are referring too, or is it something else?
I'm referring to ref. 21, I believe that should be used with the cite web template. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have formatted that reference. Charles Edward 20:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you to Charles Edward for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) Also, what category does this article belong at the GA page? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the government and politics section. Thanks! Charles Edward 01:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Founding Date

I changed the founding date in the infobox to 1816. 1851 and 1972 could be alternate dates, but I think 1816 is the best choice. Charles Edward (Talk) 22:44, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mandatory Retirement Age

Are the retirement ages incorrect for the current Justices on the Court? Indiana’s justice retirement age is 75 y/o according to this page. For Example, Loretta Rush is 66 y/o, but it says her mandatory retirement year is 2038. Would it not be 2033? 2603:900A:1B01:AFF2:F1C1:9C5F:EFFE:6585 (talk) 20:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
