Antoine v. Washington
- ... that Antoine v. Washington was a United States Supreme Court case that allowed Native Americans to hunt and fish outside of their reservation without state interference?
Created by GregJackP (talk). Self nominated at 06:30, 11 November 2013 (UTC).
- 16px I cannot see a reviw by the nominator and I believe he has more than five previous DYKs?
- The article is new and long enough. The sources are mostly offline, allthough I have consulted the case paper here, so I cannot check for copyvio/close paraphrasing and will have to AGF.
- The paragraphs in section "Arguments" are unsourced, but for one source that does not directly back up the claims in the section.
- As for the hook; it's not easy to make complicated law into a short fact hook. The sentence I found that is closest to backing up the hook is "Brennan then noted that even though the statute did not explicitly state it reserved hunting and fishing rights for the Indians, it must be construed in that manner since the agreement stated that the rights "shall not be taken away or in anywise abridged." I think it might be helpful if article writer provided an online citation from the relevant part of "Young".
- I had to consult the infobox to find the vote tally in the case; that's something I would have expected to find in the body of the article; allthough I am not familiar with the practice for writing about US supreme court cases.
- Otherwise, the article is neat, and allthough I can't assess whether all the judicial details are correctly presented, the article appears logical and consistent.
