Grammer[edit]

Whoever edited my grammer and spelling on my paragraph on organisation of police stations - thank you for that :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Police,Mad,Jack (talk • contribs) 10:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did the editing, glad you liked it. Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 17:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heavily biased[edit]

This article is heavily biased to the United Kingdom, and it also does not provide good references about the topic. Please help out if you can. I added a note with {{globalize}} in hopes it will be picked up by others who might have some.

I concur. Unfortunately I have my hands full with law and motion practice as well as a dozen other WP articles I am researching (in bits and pieces) and I don't practice crim law (though I studied it in law school) so I can't really help out on this one. Any criminologists up there ready to step up to the plate? ---- Coolcaesar (talk) 21:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I concur as well, and although 2 editors disagree with me, I feel the information presented regarding UK police stations section is highly trivial in nature, with few exceptions. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 19:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ref name="waldren"[edit]

This is used in many places but it is never sourced. Anyone know where this should be pointed at? Vegaswikian (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I placed that ref, it is supposed to come back to this book:

<ref name="waldren">{{cite book |title= Armed Police, The Police Use of Firearms since 1945 |last=Waldren |first=Michael J. |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= 2007 |publisher= Sutton |location= England |isbn= 0750946377 |pages= 224}}</ref> Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 21:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like that was fixed a while ago. However you are not using the cite template correctly. You are suppose to list the page numbers for the citations and not the number of pages in the book which is what I think you have done. Unlikely that all of those are found on page 224 of the book. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its a big book. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 08:15, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Being big does not mean we should not correctly source where the information comes from. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:14, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont remember me stating we should, your obviously dont understand what I mean. No worries, Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Districts and zones[edit]

Police Mad Jack deleted some new content about substations in some areas of the US covering "districts" and "zones", for unclear reasons. Does anyone think the article benefits from mentioning these? --McGeddon (talk) 10:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice it if it was referenced, the reason I reverted it was because while the editor added this information, he also changed other edits which were of equal value. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 15:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If your only objection to a contribution is that it would be "nice if it was referenced", please consider using the {{fact}} tag, rather than deleting it. It's much harder for something to become referenced if it's been deleted.

So far as I can see, the rest of the user's edits were simply adding extra examples, rather than changing or deleting anything. --McGeddon (talk) 10:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Either put it back or scrap the whole section as none of the information there has a reference. You don't get to personally select what's considered original research and what is not, P,M,J. لenna vecia 16:03, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise, I was not aware I did. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 16:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Edits[edit]

I've gone back to McGeddon's recent version as it contains extra information. I'. not clear why PMJ's recent edits remeoved this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.105.121.220 (talk) 07:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Police blotter[edit]

Police blotter redirects into this page, but this page has no information on police blotters. Surely there's enough information out there in reputable sources to create a page about police blotters? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 23:33, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
