As posted to User Talk:WBost22:

I'm afraid you might have made a bit of a misstep with the Midnight Judges article. You have replaced the page that discussed what the Midnight Judges were [1] with an article about the Judiciary Act of 1801 that doesn't discuss the Midnight Judges concept well beyond the mention in the first paragraph.

Your work is good. I'd like to see it incorporated in the present article at Judiciary Act of 1801 don't flat-out replace that article: Merge your work with what's there). We can redirect Midnight Judges Act to there. If you can expand the original stub explaining the term "Midnight Judges", we can fix that article -- otherwise, Midnight Judges should probably also redirect to Judiciary Act of 1801, and the stub can be cleaned up and incorporated there. *Mishatx*-In\Out 03:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

If anyone else has ideas, jump in. *Mishatx*-In\Out 03:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
