Talk:American Electric Power Co. v. Connecticut

Duplicate article

Hi. I'm about to merge American Elec. Power Co. v. Connecticut to this article (last revision before merge). This article seems more developed and was started first. If there's any salvageable content from the redirected article, please feel free to merge it in. Thanks! --MZMcBride (talk) 20:43, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review Comments

Hi there. The article reads clearly and is succinct. I primarily have editorial comments, which I think will greatly improve the readability.

- The term "GHGs" should not contain an apostrophe ("'") - I noticed that sometimes the terms "plaintiff" and "defendant" is capitalized. Be consistent. I don't think the terms should be capitalized. - Check spelling of "habitat." It's spelled as "habit" in the article. - Check spelling of "non-justiciable" - In-text citations should appear after the period. - Check capitalization of the term "state." I think it should only be capitalized when used as a portion of an official agency name or in government documents when used to report on an official name. If it's used generally, it should be lower case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adawg03 (talk • contribs) 04:38, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

I think this is a great article; and would expand upon your work by adding dates to the history, as well as increase your # of references.

Hi again, Some additional comments: I suggest expanding the Supreme Court ruling section of your article. Describe how the U.S. Supreme Court arrived at its decision. Also, the term "court" is mentioned loosely in this section when referring to the Mass. v. EPA case. You might want to consider specifying which court you're referring to.

- How does the Baker v. Carr case relate to your article? Maybe I mis-read but suggest that you tie the significance of that case to yours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adawg03 (talk • contribs) 04:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Interesting article! I see you fixed some of the above good edits, but wanted to add a few more:

- Recommend italicizing case names throughout (helps to make it more reader friendly)

- Should defendants be plural. Saw use of defendants' throughout.

- Given the multiple parties, would be helpful to link to Wikipedia pages whenever possible. Helps to keep your article brief while allowing the reader quick access to content elsewhere.

Significance

The ruling in AEP impacted a number of cases based on common law claims that were in the lower courts. The most significant being Kivalina v. Exxon Mobil and Comer v. Murphy Oil. Take a look. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aarf613 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
