I don't want to start an edit war over something so minor as proper citation, but the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, as an entity, is abbreviated as you have done, sic "Md. Ct. Spec. App.", HOWEVER, the citation to the Maryland Appellate Reports is "Md. App.". As the info block is obviously a citation to the reporter in which the case can be found, the proper Bluebook format is "Vol Md. App. Page". Please see T.1 (p. 207) of the 17th edition of the Bluebook. Caelarch 23:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, you're mistaken, because that's not a Maryland Appellate Reports citation (which is 76 Md. App. 250, btw) in the infobox, so that's not the abbreviation we're trying for. The citation that is given in the infobox is 544 A.2d 784 (Md. Ct. Spec. App. 1988), where "Md. Ct. Spec. App." within the parenthetical does refer to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals as the issuing court, and A.2d is the reporter for the citation used. Postdlf 23:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- O, damn. You're absolutly right. Egg on my face. My apologies.Caelarch 00:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
