Bot-created subpage

[edit]

A temporary subpage at User:Polbot/fjc/Howell Edmunds Jackson was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 01:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]
  • "The elder Jackson" almost sounds like its referring to an older sibling, I would just suggest using the full name Alexander Jackson instead.
  • The lead says he authored about 50 opinions, it could just state that it was 46.
  • "While Jackson's opinion in Pollock kept him from total obscurity in the annals of history ..." This part in the last paragraph of the lead seems unnecessary. The second line in the lead is a more representative version of the same.
  • I understand what you're saying, but I think it reads a bit more fluidly the way it is. It also emphasizes something separate that the sources find important: that Pollock rescued Jackson from "the shroud of anonymity". I hope you won't mind if I keep it as written.
