Interpol seems to be treated as a noun, by your terminology, throughout Interpol's official website (www.interpol.int). In other words, nowhere on the site is it in all caps. I've updated the article replacing all instances of "INTERPOL" with "Interpol." Bulldogged 03:05, 15 June 2006 (Pacific Standard Time)

INTERPOL? I believe it is an acronym, not a noun. WikiTony 05:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Is there an interpol magazine or journal published? Benvenuto 10:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The result of the nomination was No move -- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 04:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC) It should be INTERPOL. INTernational POLice. Thats how everyone writes it, and how it is known. Im going to suggest this be moved back to INTERPOL.False Prophet 17:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Um, no actually that is not even how Interpol spells it on the official web site: http://www.interpol.int/ older ≠ wiser 22:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't write it this way, their web page above also, and acronyms are not necessarily written uppercase. (cf. FORTRAN->Fortran). Duja 07:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

1 interpol black list =
2 expansion?
3 Somalia
4 Non-member countries
5 interpol
6 Presidents of Interpol during World War

[edit] interpol black list =

I've been sent a supposed "black list" from Interpol, Brussels. Anyone know if there is really such a list distributed by Interpol?

[edit] expansion?

should we focus on expanding this article, in say, the direction of modern interpol activities, or something? it seems ridiculously sparse to me.Locriani 01:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It should also have a little more in-depth history. Ideally, there should be a separate [International police cooperation]] article that includes, but goes beyond Interpol. Just a thought - i know, i know, 'why don't you do it yourself?' If I get time. Let me know if I'm on the black list ):D Bobanny 18:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Heres a start, can anyone include this stuff from their website? Itll prolly require a table, which imm not that good at. http://www.interpol.int/Public/icpo/governance/sg/history.asp Xlegiofalco 04:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Somalia

Somalia is listed as a member on Interpol's website, however, they have not had a functioning central government since 1991 and is currently in the throes of civil war. I think we should have Somalia removed from the list of member countries until the situation there is clarified and a recognised government established. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.152.170.254 (talk) 10:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Non-member countries

I believe that countries which are not members of Interpol should also be listed to make this website as comprehensive as possible. This also adds neutrality to the article. Removing such a list only gives the impression that the article in question is biased in favour of Interpol and that non-member countries somehow don't deserve to be listed. Also, listing such countries gives the reader the chance to discover these countries and why they have not signed on to becoming a member of Interpol. Hunstad2 07:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] interpol

I was under the impression that Interpol's headquarters were in Zurich (tel. : +41 44 216 7111). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.249.45.40 (talk) 17:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Presidents of Interpol during World War

In the list of presidents for Interpol, all listed presidents during the World War 2 were from Nazi Germany, and all were executed for war crimes for participation in the holocaust. However, for the entries for those people, there is no confirmation of this, and no mention of ever being part of Interpol is listed. Is there any confirmation of this?
