This tool processes United States Supreme Court cases for bot upload.
Input[edit]
Specify the input file(s) with ?u= in the URL. The script is designed to process files from http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/, but it can also process files from http://openjurist.org/.
For example: Batch.php?u=http://openjurist.org/331/us/96/mccullough-v-kammerer-corporation
To specify multiple files, separate each url by a vertical bar.
Output[edit]
When processed, a case includes:
- The syllabus
- Talk page for the syllabus
- The opinion of the court
- Talk page for the opinion of the court
- Each concurrence
- Talk page for each concurrence
- Each dissent
- Talk page for each dissent
- Redirect from each citation to the syllabus page
Each page begins with {{-start-}} and ends with {{-stop-}}, and the first line of each page is the page name surrounded by three single-quotation marks ('''page name''').
A summery of all the generated pages is included between {{-start_report-}} and {{-stop_report-}} after the last page of each case.
The pages can be added to Wikisource using pywikipediabot's pagefromfile.py. Use the -notitle option to avoid including the page name in each article. More information on pywikipediabot and pagefromfile.py is available at http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net/ and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot/pagefromfile.py
