I have added internal links Legal advertising and Ambulance chaser, as part of the project to define or merge all terms on WP:AR1. Bearian 00:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I find it amusing, and truthful even, to put "Jack Thompson" under the See Also. However, it's prooooobably not appropriate.....~ Prysorra 22:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
I recently added a paragraph here on the other definitions of Barratry in law. This was reverted with the edit history "A revised hatnote is a better idea".
If barratry's other meaning were unrelated (placenames, or suchlike) then I'd agree, a hatnote linking to a dab page would be sufficient. But the lead sentence says "Barratry is a legal term with several meanings", then proceeds to discuss just one of them. And "repeated legal actions for the purpose of harassment" isn't even the main meaning in common law;
This defines it as bringing about repeated lawsuits for profit, while
this includes the crime of judges influenced by bribery. Also, the first says this use of the term is rare, so having it as the
primary topic is debatable.
I suggest the article should offer some explanation of the various meanings of the term, or the current article be moved to
Barratry (common law), or somesuch title, and the title
Barratry be used to outline all definitions. Any thoughts?

The German wiki article, linked to this site is explaining the admirality law instead. Unfortunately, I don't know how to change those links. As far as I know, there is no German article about the common law barratry. 5.56.190.217 ( talk) 16:20, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
