Giglio v. United States; I
rewrote this from a
stub a year or so ago. I'd like to have it reviewed and see any suggestions for improvements. Please also see my query on the talk page about an apparent inconsistency in the opinion (and in the article).TJRC (

Assessed as C/low, I don't see any way to reconcile the inconsistencies since they apparently are in the primary sources. GregJackPBoomer! 19:02, 30 July 2012 (UTC)reply
Bilski v. Kappos (Stub; Needs Impact, copyediting, etc to resemble quality of lower court decision discussion in
In re Bilski) [as of 04:23, 4 July 2010]
Draft:Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools (Needs copyediting and moved out of the draft, I created the article and only had the source documents from the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals a newer editor placed in drafts and it is stuck in the loop. Could uses some help getting out. Thank you)

Since this project is obviously a large task, it will be ongoing. The main source used to find the articles involved is the
Lists of United States Supreme Court cases. These lists are used and dealt with by the project.
Project phases
The phases or "waves" of the project are easier to accomplish in a certain order, but there are no set rules; any Wikipedian can work on any phase at any time.
Infoboxes All Supreme Court cases should have infoboxes created using {{Infobox SCOTUS case}} (instructions for its use at the same link). This infobox template is included in the template for creating a new article see
our article creation guide.
You can use {{SCOTUS-Case}} to create a new article with a basic infobox from scratch. If you only want to add an infobox to an article, you can use it on your Sandbox and copy the result from there.
A general guide to creating infoboxes for cases is
here.
Infoboxes effectively replace a defunct "The bench" section. (Example
here.)
Case citations: If we don't have an article about a case, we'd still like to direct readers to useful information. For any references to cases without Wikipedia articles, create case citations as follows:
Proper format- ''[[Name v. Name]]'', {{tlx|ussc|VVV|PPP|year}}) See
case citation for more information. Googling the case name is usually enough to find its citation. Check the result to be sure the link functions—URLs for recent cases must be added manually instead.
External link to text: Every article should have an external link section with at least one link to the full text of the decision. The easiest and probably most reliable place to link to is Justia. Opinions can be found by searching at
http://supreme.justia.com/index.html. A link to Justia can be created by using: {{
ussc|VVV|PPP|year}}.
Section headers: As articles expand, it is a good idea to add
section headers to organize the information. A suggested outline for articles is listed below.
Categorize: Every article should be put into the category of United States Supreme Court cases, but also can be put into
proper categories regarding the type of case law.
Copyedit: Make sure everything that should be linked is linked. Proofread for grammar, style, etc.
Lists: Finally, every case should be listed on the appropriate list by Chief Justice at
Lists of United States Supreme Court cases page. Sort the case by its citation and copy the formatting for other entries.

Wikisource: If you're so inclined, please help with the importation of cases on our sister project,
Wikisource. A
bot is currently in the process of importing every Supreme Court decision from bulk.resource.org's collection of the
United States Reports. The project is in need of people to assist in proofreading, editing, and disambiguating decisions added by the bot.
WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases on Wikisource has information about formatting and other guidelines, as well as a
to do list.
