Hello all!
By now we're all aware that Biden has made his first judicial nominations and I wanted to try and reach consensus on cosmetic issues when it comes to creating new articles. If there's anyone who regularly edits judicial articles that you feel I've missed, feel free to ping/add them to the discussion.
I've had a user argue the point that "Intent to nominate" is not a thing and they switch it to "nominee" automatically before it's even submitted to the Senate. So with that in mind;
Points. Per MOS:POINTS:
And just for clarification, I didn't take these questions directly to the project page because not everyone who edits said article(s) are part of the project, but if you want to include any of those members, feel free!

@ Snickers2686: Your ping didn't work for some reason, so I just saw this. We can leave the status parameter blank. When I added the new nominees, I forgot to change it. I think we can just use "is a nominee" because typically the nomination comes in the days after. Only rarely is there a glitch. I don't think there's a consensus in points in the infobox. I don't use them; others might though. I don't think this page should've been moved yet but I'm not going to get into an edit war about it. – JocularJellyfish Talk Contribs 15:45, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Are they worth tracking? They'd be somewhat easy to track down for previous presidencies, if rather tedious. But as the current presidency's page functions effectively as a current events tracker, I have no issue with it being different than previous pages. Star Garnet ( talk) 20:54, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

I also just noticed that reappointments haven't been included, which seems pretty ridiculous, as they are literally "judges appointed by x". Star Garnet ( talk) 18:10, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
The wording currently says 31 total made up of 14 future appeal court vacancies and 17 future district court vacancies.
I changed this to 13 future appeal court vacancies and 18 future district court vacancies but it was reverted. Ref 4 https://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/judicial-vacancies/future-judicial-vacancies lists the 18 district court vacancies: PR, MD, VA-E, LA-W, TX-S, IN-S, AR-W, IA-S, MN, CA-C, CA-E, CA-N, OR, CO, KS, NM, UT, WY So I'd suggest the revert shouldn't have taken place as regards the district courts future vacancies.
As regards the Appeal Court vacancies only 11 are listed so I can see an argument for the page to list 29 total, 11 appeal court, 18 district court as per the official US courts link. Have therefore changed to that for now. I was presuming the extra 2 appeal court vacancies for 13 are the 2 in the 2nd circuit (Cabranes and Pooler) https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/1445924934203625474?s=20 that are listed on the 2nd circuit wiki page but not yet on the US Courts website. Feel free to change from 11 to 13 appeal courts to reflect these additional 2 vacancies but I can't see any argument for reverting the district courts from 18 which is supported by the US Courts link. I also haven't seen evidence of a 14th future appeal court vacancy as per the revert but feel free to change to 32/14/18 if I've missed one? Andrewdpcotton ( talk) 22:26, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
There are judges with expired 10 year terms in each of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and Virgin Islands Territorial Courts. On each of the individual pages these are described as vacancies. On this page however we describe the territorial courts as having no vacancies. Obviously the judges can remain in post indefinitely until a new nominee is put forward (or they are renominated themselves) but there seems to be an inconsistency in how we describe these territorial court "vacancies". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewdpcotton ( talk • contribs) 11:16, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
@ Soibangla: The fact that shoddy journalism exists doesn't require us to repeat inaccuracies, regardless of how generally reliable the source is and particularly when they're easily shown to be false. You seem fairly reasonable from a brief glance at your other work, so I'm not sure why you're hung up on this. The Times article is even more inaccurate than just 41 vs. 40 for Reagan; using the term "federal judicial nominee" properly, Biden had 42 (11 circuit, 29 district, 2 claims) while Reagan had either 45 or 52 (1 SCOTUS, 8 circuit, 32 district, 3 tax, 1 territorial, and 7 for DC courts, which most people probably wouldn't count toward the total). So it would be accurate to state that Biden and Reagan had an equal cumulative number of circuit and district nominees confirmed, but that's not what the news articles state. FWIW, here's a listing of the 41 1981 Article III confirmations:
# | Judge | Confirmation date |

If you took the time to read through the 127th edition of the Congressional RecordI would be conducting original research from a primary source, rather than providing reliable secondary sources, the latter being how we do things here. In case I miss it, please ping me when the NYT issues a correction and I will cheerfully celebrate your triumph and mercilessly taunt catie.edmondson@nytimes.com, but until then your version is in stark violation of one of the core principles of the encyclopedia and should be promptly removed. That's not inane, it's...the law. soibangla ( talk) 14:18, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure why you're hung up on this. soibangla ( talk) 21:07, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
which isn't even necessary? Well of course it is. And it's not just NYT, it's also Axios, it's also The Hill, and now it's also WaPo, "now on par with Ronald Reagan’s record." [3] These are four current reliable secondary sources compared to your original research and one 40 year-old source. soibangla ( talk) 22:10, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
OCR output is inelegant but more than enough for Vexcept when it's, you know...totally illegible. Do you have cause to believe it's
four news outlets copying each other? Because if you do I reckon we can just toss out the whole idea of multiple reliable sources, fold up the Wikipedia tent and go home. Now 22 hours remaining on the clock. soibangla ( talk) 22:55, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
@ Kilian Noah, EJSpaich, and Snickers2686: The DC courts are not federal courts. The don't belong on a page of federal judges. Star Garnet ( talk) 18:29, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
There have been several reverts ( here, here and here) of my align left placement of the picture Joe Biden with Ketanji Brown Jackson, without the editors giving any reason why they insist that the picture should align right.
But there is no rule that pictures have to align right, only a guidance that this is the default: MOS:IMAGELOC. And even this guidance is illustrated by a picture that aligns left! As can be found in many other suitable instances, e.g. the Early Life section of Bill Clinton. Right below is the guidance MOS:SECTIONLOC, which is contains my reason for placing it left: The picture should appear in the section Supreme Court of the United States, which it belongs to. But due to the long Infobox Joe Biden Series, this is not the case if aligned right, at least not in many monitor resolutions / scalings. It leads to a large empty white gap on the left, which is not good use of screen space. And in some scalings the picture is pushed below the section it belongs to.
Therefore I have placed the picture left again in the correct section, as well as removing the fixed pixel size in favour of an "upright"-value, as recommended by MOS:UPRIGHT. Please do not undo without first discussing here. Thanks! Sprachraum ( talk) 04:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
@Sprachraum
Unfortunately when you change the placement of the picture to the other side of the page it messes up the alignment of the charts for the judges. Therefore numerous editors have reverted it back to the original.
Either way the proper procedure for such a major change like that (As virtually all federal judicial pages have the pictures on the right side) is to first go to the talk page, gain consensus & then make the major change. Therefore the picture has been reverted back to the original & if consensus is gained, the change can then be made. While I’m sure you have good intent, with the change messing up the charts alignment, I am respectfully against the change.

I can't figure out how to fix it, but the newly announced nominee Robert Kirsch is pointing to an article about someone else. We could disambiguate it as Robert Kirsch (attorney) or something else. Marquardtika ( talk) 21:39, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Idk if this has been discussed on other presidents' judiciary pages, but would it be informative to put the American Bar Association ratings for judicial nominees in our tables? We have the info going back to (at least) 1989 [4]. Nevermore27 ( talk) 20:23, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
I have no issue with an article on the ratings by the ABA as a standalone article, but the reasons above in my opinion set out clearly why inclusion in the article series as proposed should not occur. PicturePerfect666 ( talk) 17:30, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello all!
By now we're all aware that Biden has made his first judicial nominations and I wanted to try and reach consensus on cosmetic issues when it comes to creating new articles. If there's anyone who regularly edits judicial articles that you feel I've missed, feel free to ping/add them to the discussion.
I've had a user argue the point that "Intent to nominate" is not a thing and they switch it to "nominee" automatically before it's even submitted to the Senate. So with that in mind;
Points. Per MOS:POINTS:
And just for clarification, I didn't take these questions directly to the project page because not everyone who edits said article(s) are part of the project, but if you want to include any of those members, feel free!

@ Snickers2686: Your ping didn't work for some reason, so I just saw this. We can leave the status parameter blank. When I added the new nominees, I forgot to change it. I think we can just use "is a nominee" because typically the nomination comes in the days after. Only rarely is there a glitch. I don't think there's a consensus in points in the infobox. I don't use them; others might though. I don't think this page should've been moved yet but I'm not going to get into an edit war about it. – JocularJellyfish Talk Contribs 15:45, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Are they worth tracking? They'd be somewhat easy to track down for previous presidencies, if rather tedious. But as the current presidency's page functions effectively as a current events tracker, I have no issue with it being different than previous pages. Star Garnet ( talk) 20:54, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

I also just noticed that reappointments haven't been included, which seems pretty ridiculous, as they are literally "judges appointed by x". Star Garnet ( talk) 18:10, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
The wording currently says 31 total made up of 14 future appeal court vacancies and 17 future district court vacancies.
I changed this to 13 future appeal court vacancies and 18 future district court vacancies but it was reverted. Ref 4 https://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/judicial-vacancies/future-judicial-vacancies lists the 18 district court vacancies: PR, MD, VA-E, LA-W, TX-S, IN-S, AR-W, IA-S, MN, CA-C, CA-E, CA-N, OR, CO, KS, NM, UT, WY So I'd suggest the revert shouldn't have taken place as regards the district courts future vacancies.
As regards the Appeal Court vacancies only 11 are listed so I can see an argument for the page to list 29 total, 11 appeal court, 18 district court as per the official US courts link. Have therefore changed to that for now. I was presuming the extra 2 appeal court vacancies for 13 are the 2 in the 2nd circuit (Cabranes and Pooler) https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/1445924934203625474?s=20 that are listed on the 2nd circuit wiki page but not yet on the US Courts website. Feel free to change from 11 to 13 appeal courts to reflect these additional 2 vacancies but I can't see any argument for reverting the district courts from 18 which is supported by the US Courts link. I also haven't seen evidence of a 14th future appeal court vacancy as per the revert but feel free to change to 32/14/18 if I've missed one? Andrewdpcotton ( talk) 22:26, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
There are judges with expired 10 year terms in each of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and Virgin Islands Territorial Courts. On each of the individual pages these are described as vacancies. On this page however we describe the territorial courts as having no vacancies. Obviously the judges can remain in post indefinitely until a new nominee is put forward (or they are renominated themselves) but there seems to be an inconsistency in how we describe these territorial court "vacancies". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewdpcotton ( talk • contribs) 11:16, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
@ Soibangla: The fact that shoddy journalism exists doesn't require us to repeat inaccuracies, regardless of how generally reliable the source is and particularly when they're easily shown to be false. You seem fairly reasonable from a brief glance at your other work, so I'm not sure why you're hung up on this. The Times article is even more inaccurate than just 41 vs. 40 for Reagan; using the term "federal judicial nominee" properly, Biden had 42 (11 circuit, 29 district, 2 claims) while Reagan had either 45 or 52 (1 SCOTUS, 8 circuit, 32 district, 3 tax, 1 territorial, and 7 for DC courts, which most people probably wouldn't count toward the total). So it would be accurate to state that Biden and Reagan had an equal cumulative number of circuit and district nominees confirmed, but that's not what the news articles state. FWIW, here's a listing of the 41 1981 Article III confirmations:

If you took the time to read through the 127th edition of the Congressional RecordI would be conducting original research from a primary source, rather than providing reliable secondary sources, the latter being how we do things here. In case I miss it, please ping me when the NYT issues a correction and I will cheerfully celebrate your triumph and mercilessly taunt catie.edmondson@nytimes.com, but until then your version is in stark violation of one of the core principles of the encyclopedia and should be promptly removed. That's not inane, it's...the law. soibangla ( talk) 14:18, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure why you're hung up on this. soibangla ( talk) 21:07, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
which isn't even necessary? Well of course it is. And it's not just NYT, it's also Axios, it's also The Hill, and now it's also WaPo, "now on par with Ronald Reagan’s record." [3] These are four current reliable secondary sources compared to your original research and one 40 year-old source. soibangla ( talk) 22:10, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
OCR output is inelegant but more than enough for Vexcept when it's, you know...totally illegible. Do you have cause to believe it's
four news outlets copying each other? Because if you do I reckon we can just toss out the whole idea of multiple reliable sources, fold up the Wikipedia tent and go home. Now 22 hours remaining on the clock. soibangla ( talk) 22:55, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
@ Kilian Noah, EJSpaich, and Snickers2686: The DC courts are not federal courts. The don't belong on a page of federal judges. Star Garnet ( talk) 18:29, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
There have been several reverts ( here, here and here) of my align left placement of the picture Joe Biden with Ketanji Brown Jackson, without the editors giving any reason why they insist that the picture should align right.
But there is no rule that pictures have to align right, only a guidance that this is the default: MOS:IMAGELOC. And even this guidance is illustrated by a picture that aligns left! As can be found in many other suitable instances, e.g. the Early Life section of Bill Clinton. Right below is the guidance MOS:SECTIONLOC, which is contains my reason for placing it left: The picture should appear in the section Supreme Court of the United States, which it belongs to. But due to the long Infobox Joe Biden Series, this is not the case if aligned right, at least not in many monitor resolutions / scalings. It leads to a large empty white gap on the left, which is not good use of screen space. And in some scalings the picture is pushed below the section it belongs to.
Therefore I have placed the picture left again in the correct section, as well as removing the fixed pixel size in favour of an "upright"-value, as recommended by MOS:UPRIGHT. Please do not undo without first discussing here. Thanks! Sprachraum ( talk) 04:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
@Sprachraum
Unfortunately when you change the placement of the picture to the other side of the page it messes up the alignment of the charts for the judges. Therefore numerous editors have reverted it back to the original.
Either way the proper procedure for such a major change like that (As virtually all federal judicial pages have the pictures on the right side) is to first go to the talk page, gain consensus & then make the major change. Therefore the picture has been reverted back to the original & if consensus is gained, the change can then be made. While I’m sure you have good intent, with the change messing up the charts alignment, I am respectfully against the change.

I can't figure out how to fix it, but the newly announced nominee Robert Kirsch is pointing to an article about someone else. We could disambiguate it as Robert Kirsch (attorney) or something else. Marquardtika ( talk) 21:39, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Idk if this has been discussed on other presidents' judiciary pages, but would it be informative to put the American Bar Association ratings for judicial nominees in our tables? We have the info going back to (at least) 1989 [4]. Nevermore27 ( talk) 20:23, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
I have no issue with an article on the ratings by the ABA as a standalone article, but the reasons above in my opinion set out clearly why inclusion in the article series as proposed should not occur. PicturePerfect666 ( talk) 17:30, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
