[edit] Criminal Justice Information System

Isn't the Criminal Justice Information System same thing as Criminal Justice Information Services Division? If it is, just move all the information there and request a speedy delete of the page. A lot of the pages have been created already, they just need to be expanded on. Shane (talk/contrib) 19:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirection

CJIS is the usual abbreviation and some books note the name (official) as Criminal Justice Information System. So, I just redirected the page so, both names can be used to locate the information. One book Automated Crime Information Systems also uses the name as CJIS. It's the same thing happened in NCAVC page too. NCAVC is redirecting the page to National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime. --Cyril Thomas 17:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Um... I think alot of the links are messed up. -- Shane (talk/contrib) 22:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I understand that CJIS is the correct abbreviation, but Criminal Justice Information System is the same as Criminal Justice Information Services Division. So I am moving the infomation from to Criminal Justice Information System to Criminal Justice Information Services Division. -- Shane (talk/contrib) 22:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime is not tagged.

I think we need to add FBI-tag the NCAVC page? National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime is a major organization under FBI dealing with violent crime. --Cyril Thomas 17:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page template cribbed from {{WPBeatles}}?

Hi! Those comment dividers look familar. I was involved in the writing of some of that template, so if i can be of any assistance with your version, please advise, happy to help. ++Lar: t/c 23:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

yes they were! It was a suggestion based of my discussion with someone on wikiProject page. I figured out the "view/edit" problem you were having. No assistance need though. Thanks for the offer! :) -- Shane (talk/contrib) 00:02, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
What was the view/edit problem and how did you fix it? maybe we need to do what you did? ++Lar: t/c 02:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DOJ Question

I am wondering if the articles of enforcement agencies under United States Department of Justice (DOJ) intermixed with FBI articles. DoJ is like a parent organization. --Cyril Thomas 17:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Well.. the DOJ runs the FBI. Maybe the tag under the main department of justice article, but the articles that are run by the DOJ, but not the FBI, do not fall under this category. -- Shane (talk/contrib) 18:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hey

How do I join?? --Qho 21:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Welcome to the team Qho, glad to see you. Now I am not alone! :) --Cyril Thomas 17:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The template size

It's just a bit friggin' huge, please try to optimize it.

[edit] Tagging talk pages and assessing articles

Wikipedia Assessments within AWB. Click on the image to see it in better resolution

Hi. If you still have work to do tagging talk pages and assessing articles, my AWB plugin might be of interest to you.

The plugin has two main modes of operation:

  • Tagging talk pages, great for high-speed tagging
  • Assessments mode, for reviewing articles (pictured)

As of the current version, WikiProjects with simple "generic" templates are supported by the plugin without the need for any special programatic support by me. I've had a look at your project's template and you seem to qualify.

For more information see:

Hope that helps. If you have any questions or find any bugs please let me know on the plugin's talk page. --Kingboyk 12:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are Top Tenners under the scope of this project?

I have been trying to beef up John Ward Warren Parsons, the newest FBI Top Tenner, and I just found out about your WikiProject. Should I tag his article's talk page with {{Project FBI}}? Jesse Viviano 02:14, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Yep. :) Shane (talk/contrib) 06:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FBI names of wanted persons

Under the section titled "Conventions" the guidelines state that:

"Ten Most Wanted Fugitives article names should be the full name: First Middle Last"

That seems appropriate, for wikilinks of article title names, though it does not always conform, since at times articles on persons of interest are created prior to a major FBI listing.

Suggestion: section heading names (not the wikilink article title names mentioned above) should match the FBI usage, on the FBI related pages, as a stated convention here.Steven Russell 22:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 19:40, 25 October 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 22:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Serial Killer Task Force

Hi, I created the Serial Killer Task Force as a task force of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Criminal Biography. I know that your group is primarily interested in FBI subjects, but I was wonder if you could give some advice for the task force. I have always been more interested in how serial killers are caught, such as profiling techniques an VICAP, than in the serial killers themselves, who I find to be just a bunch of sick a**holes. Thus said I really don't want this project to degenerate into sensationalism and a project for people who think serial killers are "cool". Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jmm6f488 22:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Introductions

Hey everyone. Just joined what I hope will not be a defunct project here. I don't have much experience with the logistics and formats of wiki pages, but I do have at least a fair working knowledge of law enforcement issues / FBI history. I can also write fairly well, or at least well enough to construct a good article for these purposes. If anyone knows of pages that need editing or upkeep, please let me know (you can contact me on my talk page). Thanks, Epthorn 17:18, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
