CZ live?

This one doesn't seem to be from Wikipedia, but I can't be sure. Anyone check if it's CZ Live? Yi Zhe Wu 13:28, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

I wrote it myself. :) Richard Jensen 14:33, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
Oh, okay, so it should belong to Category:CZ Live then, add the category when an article is originally written and not exported from Wikipedia. Yi Zhe Wu 15:25, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

Richard: in this sentence: "All the states ratified but as a condition, the Anti-Federalists insisted on a Bill of Rights, which met most of their objections", I don't think the instance of "Bill of Rights" should be capitalized - they were not asking for The Bill of Rights, but rather a bill of rights... which became the Bill of Rights :) However, I'll defer to you as the original author.

good point, you're right and I will change it. Richard Jensen 19:24, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

I edited the Farrand reference to use the online Library of Congress edition, as I think it is more credible than any other source. Feel free to change it back if there is disagreement. The edition they have online is from 1911, so I changed the date to match. Steve Mount 00:28, 27 April 2007 (CDT)

Steve--good change. I added a little un-Wiki speculation in a footnote, assuming we are allowed this in CZ. Richard Jensen 05:31, 27 April 2007 (CDT)
