[edit] Why an Australian crime section?
Why should we have a Wiki section on Australian criminals? Where is the section on American, or French or Vietnamese criminals?
I feel like this is singleing out Australians unfairly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.232.24.237 (talk • contribs).
- Why not????
- If you want to see a section or category on french crime or vietnemese crime then why not create one.

- Actually, while there are are presently no WikiProjects relating to crime in general (which I would assume may simply be a lack of interest rather then an intentionally portaying Austrialians in a negitave light), there are proposed two crime related WikiProject's, WikiProject British crime and WikiProject Organized crime, the former of which I believe was influenced by this very project. There are of course numerous categories on criminals of almost every nationallity or specialization (see Category:Criminals by nationality). MadMax 09:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
this is bullshit, if you want to have a go at us and make convict jokes do so, rather than trying to be snide and makeing shit projects like this. Waste of fucking time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.240.253.92 (talk • contribs).
- First of all, calm down and please stop attacking people. Secondly, all of the people involved with this project are Australians. If you don't like the project, don't participate, but there is absolutely no reason why people interested in Australian crime cannot collaborate. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 06:47, 26 November 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 22:19, 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 23:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Crime
I noticed there was a proposal for a WikiProject related to crime and I was wondering, taking into account its interest, if members of the various crime related projects might be interested in forming a Portal:Crime in order to organize and coordinate overlapping crime and criminology related projects ?

[edit] Ebony Simpson and articles about victims or murders rather than the murder
Ebony Simpson has been nominated for deletion. In the AfD discussion the suggestion has been made that articles should not be about the victim or the perpetrator, as biographies they would generally not meet WP:Bio. The alternate suggestion is that the articles should be about the crime - eg The Graeme Thorne kidnapping or The Murchison Murders. The articles about Joe Cinque and his murderer are a good example of multiple articles being resolved by that approach. Any reaction?--Golden Wattle talk 00:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Project scope
Sorry to be a biographies of living person pedant, but someone being listed as being part of wikiproject Australian crime shouldn't be taken as implying that the person is a criminal, right? Andjam 03:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
