[edit] British crime in film and popular culture

What about The Long Good Friday? I know for a fact the criminal underworld revolves around Bob Hoskins. --81.79.29.103 15:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project banner image

If you want a particularly eye-catching image for the project banner, I like Image:John Tenniel - Punch - Ripper cartoon.png. Having any image would definitely help draw attention to the banner. Best of luck with the project! Badbilltucker 17:39, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Wow, great picture! I've added it to Template:WP British Crime Invitation for the other members to take a look (as it is certainly in need of a good image). I and the project certainly appreciate your assintance and I'm sure the project founder will be interested. MadMax 07:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Crime

• It seems a proposal for WikiProject Crime has been made, in case anyone wants to voice their opinion. Personally, I think such a project would be ideal for possible collaberations with Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian crime among other related projects. MadMax 19:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for deletion

• The following articles have been proposed for deletion:

1. Ebony Simpson, an Australian murder victim nominated on the basis of being a non notable/memorial entry. Interestingly enough, it has been proposed by one editor to merge the victim to the crime, which has apparently been becoming common practice.
2. CrimeLine - a non notable/unverified organization.
3. Dean Roberts (criminal) - non notible drug dealer
4. Michael Tyrell (drug trafficker) - non notable criminal

[edit] Naming conventions concerning ethnic organized crime articles

There has been a recent cfd/renaming discussion relating to Category:Gangs by ethnicity as well as all ethnic and historically related street gang categorires which includes Historical gangs of London (a subcategory of Historical criminals of London) and I assume will effect naming conventions of general crime related categories to eliminate ethnicity from crime related categories.

On a related note, a related discussion on changing Jewish-American organized crime to a "less offensive and accusatory" title will also effect article naming conventions for similar organized crime related articles such as Talk:African-American organized crime and Talk:Greek-American organized crime and I assume related British articles as well.

Also, there has been some discussion regarding about a possible "collaberation of the week" between the various crime related WikiProject and I was wondering f that would be of interest to anyone ? MadMax 23:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review

John Martin Scripps, an article on a serial killer from Hertfordshire, has been listed for peer review. Feel free to comment and leave suggestions on the review page. Resurgent insurgent 14:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

And now it's a featured article candidate. You can leave comments here. Resurgent insurgent 10:07, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patrick Mackay and John Childs and others stubbed

[edit] Moira Anderson case

Could someone give the Moira McCall Anderson, Moira Anderson Foundation and Sandra Brown (campaigner) articles a look-over for notability/sourcing/neutrality? Tearlach 09:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New list

List of people convicted under Anti-Terrorism Act in the United Kingdom, would appreciate help with this list - especially from UK members! Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 19:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Prisons

If anyone's interested, I've proposed a new wikiproject for the creation of articles regarding specific prisons here. --Cdogsimmons (talk) 20:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
