[edit] Page move

I just moved FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives by decade, 1990's to FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, 1990s. I would like to make the analogous change for this article, if no one objects. Wmahan. 20:05, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ralph "Bucky" Phillips

I'd add him myself to the list, but I don't know the proper convention in this here parts. His article says he was added September 7th, 2006. Here's his FBI page --Lemi4 09:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Darren Roy Mack

Some contributions here perpetuate the falsehood that Darren Mack was among the FBI Top Ten. But Mack NEVER attained that status. The FBI merely identified him as a "most wanted fugitive", which they sometimes do, as they profile certain fugitives on their main wanted web page. Apparently this is what Nancy Grace must have seen on July 21, 2006, and so then she falsely implied repeatedly that Mack was a Top Ten Fugitive [1]. But you will see that Mack does not have a corresponding FBI Top Ten sequence number, precisely because he never made it on to that very select FBI list. Please note also that the FBI issued a National Press Release on the actual true next Top Tenner in the correct sequence on September 7, 2006, noting that "Ralph B. Phillips is the 483rd person to be placed on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list" [2]. #482 was clearly Warren Steed Jeffs on May 6, 2006. And "Michael Paul Astorga was the 481st person to be placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” list" [3]. So clearly Mack never made the FBI Top Ten list, despite the Nancy Grace comments. So the Wikipedia pages all now need to be corrected accordingly, as they are in gross error.Steven Russell 01:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Thank you for the clarification. Please phrase your language in a more polite manner next time. Thanks. Smee 02:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Kobi Alexander

Now, I follow the FBI Top Ten List religiously, and never once have I seen this Kobi Alexander on the list. Should it be removed? --PAK Man + 20:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unidentified Subjects

FBI fugitives #473 and #479 have never been identified by the FBI. However, given the timeline that these appointments to the list occurred, it is almost certain that the two fugitives are Luke Helder (#473) and Jesse James Hollywood (#479). Should this article contain reference to these two men as the likely holders of the respective spots? I posted this information and someone has since deleted it. RyanGentry 20:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

The basis for deletion was that since the two are still living, it violated WP:BLP. --PAK Man Talk 15:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

While I agree it would be inaccurate to list them as the suspects, I don't feel it violates WP:BLP to list them as the "likely" holders of these spots. The intent of WP:BLP is to prevent false claims; the claim that these two men are "likely" the suspects is not false, it is true. If not appropriate on this page, would you feel it appropriate on a seperate (new) page? RyanGentry 08:40, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
