Complete POV comment in this piece: "Now commuters can go about their day without being reminded that they work in a city with people of a different culture" (paraphrasing). First of all, this statement does not stand the test of being factual in any way. (Who could concievably argue that anyone in NYC could go about their day without seeing evidence of people from other cultures??) Secondly, even if it were true, I don't see how it relates to graffiti art per se (well, I see how the author probably thinks it does, but I don't think it stands any kind of Wikipedia policy test). It's meant to be a sarcastic statement, it's POV, it's non-factual, and I want to delete it.--Moncrief

I agree, as such it doesn't belong here. --Numerousfalx 16:30, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article cleanup and restructuring

I have greatly expanding this article, referenced it, wikified it the best I could and added pictures. Therefore, I am resubmitting this for another peer review in the Law Enforcement wikiproject. Rebel3986 01:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NYC Transit Police Patch Pre 1995.jpg

Image:NYC Transit Police Patch Pre 1995.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Fallen Officers

I had originally included a Fallen Officers section listing the 13 Officers killed in the line of duty and another editor removed them stating that they were non-notable individuals and should not be listed. This editor claimed that they could not be listed unless they qualified for a stand alone article.

I disputed this and have waited patiently for his justification. It has not come, so I have returned the original section that includes links to any outside source with additional information.

I would appreciate any comments regarding this practice.SGT141 (talk) 02:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
