Text?

I think the actual text of the Constitution should be somewhere in CZ. In Wikipedia, it is in the Wikisource or some such thing. Any equivalent in CZ, or should this article just include the text? In my paper encyclopedia, the Constitution entry has the full text, if that's of any use in deciding... Steve Mount 14:54, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

"Main Article"

It is common on Wikipedia to do as I've done on this page and have "Main Article blah blah" for something treated from a high level, like Article 1. Any opinions on whether it is better to create a "main article" to discuss Article 1 in more detail, or to discuss it in more detail on this page? steve802 22:54, 1 April 2007 (CDT)

Dates

I guess this is less a question about this article than it is about CZ in general - it is common Wikipedia practice to linkify dates and years. Is this discouraged in CZ? Also, is there a standard date format? I see some in this article were added as DD MMM YYYY, and some of my original entries are in MMM DD, YYYY format. (steve802 12:16, 2 March 2007 (CST))
