Talk:Abington School District v. Schempp

message: The citations in several sections - such as Justice Brennan's concurrence - are in such a format that I'm unsure how to fix them.  They look like law book references, but contain limited data and are showing through as if Justice Brennan was quoting someone from the future.  76.21.107.221 (talk) 22:45, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing this out.  I changed the inline MLA citations to endnotes where they link to the full citation in the ill fittingly titled "further reading".  Were these the kinds of citations you were talking about?  They are a trick to edit at first, but this style works well for readers. Professor marginalia (talk) 23:51, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

message: "Abington School District v. Schempp - this is an infidels.org essay. Probably one of the biased article I've seen so far and not a good example of a NPOV " - If this is true, wouldn't this be a copyvio? WhisperToMe 21:28, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this a copyvio? 

message: Firstly, I notice that although the article does mention opponents of this case, it always mentions them in a negative light. 
This article makes numerous assertions that need to be fixed.
For the middle part of this post, listing various paragraphs that need to be edited, see This is not an NPOV article, it shouldn't be here. It'd do better on a place like Kuro5hin!.

Look, I could go on (and I may edit this tomorrow), but it's getting late for me. I think I've proved that this article is really an essay written by an author with an axe to grind. It needs serious work!

Please come forward and explain or I will remove the entry. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivyrabbit (talk • contribs) 07:57, 28 April 2010
:This has been in the article for 6 years now - it was originally used to source a quote ("kicked God and prayer out of the schools") - the article was lifted virtually word for word from here (later re-edited due to copyright viol).  The original editor probably didn't consult the book itself.  I've looked in the book and the quote isn't found on page 107.  The index suggests the topic of prayer in school was discussed on 410 but unfortunately the copy I have was printed without the pages 403-434 and I can't check for it there.  If you have a copy you might help look there.  It's not unlikely that the quote is there given the separation of church and state, religious right, and prayer in schools are issues touched on in the book.  But I've been unable to verify the quote either.  I'll make a note of this in the article to see if another editor can verify it there on another page than 107, but this article doesn't get much traffic and the note is likely to go unnoticed. It should be removed if it isn't verified to Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do within the next week or so.  Professor marginalia (talk) 15:57, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

message: What do people think about adding in some information on Ellery Schempp?  Ellery was Edward's son and he still travels the country speaking about the case and his atheism to this day.  It might make an interesting post script.

replies: text: Good point.  Still, the whole family brought the lawsuit, not just Edward.  Edward is named first, his family (Sidney, Roger, and Donna) and the Murrays are the "et al" in the Sup Ct decision.  But all were plaintiffs.Constitutional Scholar (talk) 16:55, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
