Why the abbreviation? ResultingConstant (talk) 21:50, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@ResultingConstant: Because it's the Bluebook abbreviation, which is used almost exclusively in American law and is the Wikipedia standard for law article titles – please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Legal#In_the_United_States. Thanks! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 22:37, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose This is a SCOTUS case, SCOTUS does not use bluebook, and either the abbreviated version we have now, or a fully spelled out version are much more common and readable. The proposed version has a grand total of 300 google hits. Our current version has 24k. The full version has 4k. ResultingConstant (talk) 02:18, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ResultingConstant: The trouble with counting Google hits is that Google counts Wikipedia and its mirrors a lot as well. I understand and respect your position, though. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 04:50, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
