Many of the US District Courts for particular districts have Redirects to the full name. The Eastern District of Virginia does not have such a redirect. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 19:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC) reply

 Done [1]. In the future, please feel free to be WP:BOLD and just create the redirect. TJRC ( talk) 21:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Is there any reason the E.D.Va. page does not list judges the same way almost every other U.S. Court page has them listed?-- Skyywise ( talk) 21:37, 22 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Good question. Possibly because of historical reasons, and there once having been only a single district court for Virgina. TJRC ( talk) 21:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC) reply

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khobar_Towers_bombing#Indictment shows the court has jurisdiction outside of the us, so much wider than 6 million people. It would be good to know HOW CAN THIS BE. What law is it based upon? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.96.60 ( talk) 21:16, 1 May 2012 (UTC) reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "January 5 1864":

• From List of federal judges appointed by Abraham Lincoln: Recess appointment; formally nominated on January 5, 1864, confirmed by the United States Senate on January 20, 1864, and received commission on January 20, 1864.
• From List of judges of the United States District Court for the Districts of Virginia: Recess appointment; formally nominated on January 5, 1864, confirmed by the United States Senate on January 25, 1864, and received commission on January 25, 1864.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:54, 28 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Seriously???? Where is the justice this man ran scheme after scheme for a decade then turned around and made a mockery of our judicial system by acting as an informant to trump while in a plea agreement and got a slap on the wrist. I suggest you look into who paid this judge off. I understand that I'm a nobody and I would get 5 times the time for stealing a pair of $120.00 shoes. This sentence is ridiculous.

Article says both Newport News and Norfolk divisions are co-located at the courthouse in Norfolk, but that is inaccurate - there is a United States Courthouse in Newport News. Mueller921 ( talk) 10:48, 8 June 2020 (UTC) reply
