@ Passerculus90: First and foremost, I want to thank you for your excellent contributions. This is a very well-written article and you have done an excellent job summarizing a fairly arcane topic (bankruptcy jurisprudence). I am very impressed by your work! I have a few comments, which I hope will help guide you when writing articles in the future:
I hope you will continue to contribute to SCOTUS articles here on Wikipedia. Please feel free to reach out me if you have any questions or concerns; I am happy to serve as a resource if you ever need to know anything about how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia is in desperate need of editors who are willing to write articles about United States Supreme Court cases (and all law articles, for that matter). In fact, there are only a handful of editors who work on SCOTUS articles. I am very excited to see that you are willing to help! Best, -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 18:45, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
@ Notecardforfree: Thank you very much for your feedback on my draft! I greatly appreciate it. To speak to your comments:
I plan to keep contributing to SCOTUS articles on Wikipedia to the extent that I am able to do so. I am very glad to have found the U.S. Supreme Court cases WikiProject, and I look forward to contributing to it. Thanks again. Best, -- Passerculus90 ( talk) 23:06, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
@ Notecardforfree: Thanks for rescuing this article from orphan status! I can't believe I missed the space between the "N" and the "A" in the case name—good grief! Would it be appropriate to move this page to a target page titled with the correct case name, i.e.—a page titled Bank of America, N. A. v. Caulkett? I'm still a bit unfamiliar with Wikipedia's general technical infrastructure, so I'm a bit nervous about screwing something up; that's the last thing I want to do. Please let me know what you think would be appropriate here. Thank you again for all of your help! I sincerely appreciate it. Best, -- Passerculus90 ( talk) 14:35, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
"[a]rticles on cases should be titled according to the legal citation convention for the jurisdiction that handled the case,"so I usually just use the title that is provided in the slip opinion. Also, by using the title in the slip opinion, it will automatically generate links from various lists of SCOTUS cases on Wikipedia (see, e.g., 2014 term opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States and List of United States Supreme Court cases, volume 575). That said, Bluebook rule 10.2.1(h) seems to indicate that there should not be a space between the "N" and the "A" in "N.A." and many other secondary sources omit the space. SCOTUSblog, for example, calls the case " Bank of America, N.A. v. Caulkett." It looks like you've already added a space in the case title in the body of this article, so for the sake of consistency, we may want to move the article title as well. If you do want to move the page, let me know and I can arrange for an administrator to delete the Bank of America, N. A. v. Caulkett page. Once that is done, I can then move this article to the new title (that will also create a redirect from the old title to the new title). Just let me know how you would like to proceed. Otherwise, I hope all is well! Best, -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 16:05, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
