- Nice job! From a formatting/structure point of view I think you should perhaps add an infobox if you can. Chevy monte carlo 13:00, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
The article describes a mathematical object, an irregular octagon with specific properties.
I would also like to add some figures to illustrate it, but I do not have the authorization to to so.

I have completed a starter article on Snyder v. Phelps, the recent SCOTUS case involving Westboro Baptist Church. I was surprised to find that it hadn't been generated already, but there's always a first time for everything. In any event, I yanked a significant chuunk of the Case Background section from the Fred Phelps article with a few major/minor edits to bring the case up to date, the rest of the sections are completely new material.
I think its ready to go, but would like an extra set of eyes before it goes out the door. This is my first article written from scratch.

- Very nice start.
- A few comments:
- There's a problem with footnote 10, I think you missed a title
- You had a problem with a see also link; I fixed it (some things on Wikipedia are very sensitive to case, others are not)
- Your two categories were both redlinked - I fixed the first by changing case, the second I changed from "First Amendment Cases"which is not an existing category to "First Amendment to the United States Constitution". If that doesn't work for you, we can look into adding a category
- You have a wikilink for Albert Snyder (twice), but it is a redirect to Ruth Snyder, which I assume is wholly unrelated. I removed the wikilink for now, if you really want it as a red link, it can be done, but we need some evidence that Albert Snyder is notable and should have a stand alone article.
- The Albert Snyder quote needs a source. Once you find one, you might consider using the {{Quote}} template, which looks similar, but has a place to add an author and source.-- SPhilbrick T 19:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- This is pretty good now. I think it is ready to be moved to the article mainspace. bahamut0013 words deeds 00:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
After writing the article and cleaning it up for a few days, I think I am ready to have it reviewed by the experts and possibly have the new article template removed.
Article describes a new coal-fired power plant in Illinois, notable because it is really big, cleans up locally-mined coal, and will be the largest source of CO2 built in the US in a quarter century with no plans to mitigate that.
(It is one of the few big recently proposed power plants that is actually being realized, but I don't mention that in the article.)

- This is a very, very nice new article. Well done.
- I have to find fault, to give feedback, so;
- 25,000 tons should be 25,000 tons - I fixed that; it stops it 'wrapping' on e.g.
25,000 tons
...ie the non-breaking space' of is needed.
- It would be nice to add an infobox, probably {{Infobox power station}} -see for example the box at top right of Sizewell nuclear power stations
- I have nominated this as a Did you know... entry. See Template_talk:Did_you_know#Prairie State Energy Campus.

- Thank you for reviewing, and thanks for the nice words. The infobox will be rather meager, but you are right it is needed. M.boli ( talk) 12:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
