Assessment	WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography/Assessment

This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!

Welcome to WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography. This project needs the help of all of you here, who are interested in the history of crime and criminals, ranging from conspiratorial corporate crime to scary serial killers. Please help!

Goals

To improve the quality of articles related to subjects about crime.

Scope

Crime

This portion of the WikiProject focuses on criminology and a wide range of crime-related topics, verifying notability of articles, expanding stub-class crime related articles and writing specific contributions to requested crime articles.

Criminal biographies

In Wikipedia, the biography page of a criminal often uses the same style and form of other regular biographies. However, due to the sensitiveness and uniqueness of their biography, something different needs to be done.

Current development

Usage of infoboxes

Use the exact infobox text below and add the information of the criminal, but do not insert any rows that do not appear below or change the text of any row, such as using "convicted of" instead of "charge". If you do, the information will not be displayed in the infobox.
Link all possible information such as locations, charges, penalties, etc. Do not link dates, years or use flag icons in the infobox.

You are more than welcome to expand these infoboxes, but be careful when doing so, as editing a template may affect all articles using the template.

Serial Killer infobox

{{Infobox serial killer}} - should be used for all serial killer, mass murder and spree killer biographies.

Copy the text below and fill in the information:

Project templates

Other templates used by the project include:

{{WP Crime}}, a project banner used to assess crime related articles as well as identify related projects working on the article.
{{WP Criminal}}, an alternate project banner specifically for criminal biographies.
{{Crime opentask}}, a template displaying open tasks related to the project.
{{crime-stub}}, adds article to Category:Crime stubs.
{{crime-bio-stub}}, adds article to Category:Crime biography stubs.

Parentage

This WikiProject was originally proposed by User:Remember in December 2006 (see [1]) which was eventually merged with the present biography project established by User:Wooyi in February 2007.

Task Forces

Formatting

Biographies and other subjects generally follow standard Wikipedia "Manual of Style" formatting; however, there are a few exceptions, such as specialized formats established of criminal organizations (as seen in Bufalino crime family originally established by User:ExplorerCDT).

Hierarchy definition

Crime and criminology related subjects can range from specific areas, geographical locations, and historical periods as well as overlap with other subjects such as WikiProject Law and Law Enforcement.

The subjects, defined by crime and criminology, include people, events, and related information on:

True crime
Street gangs (from the early-19th century to present)
Mafia/Syndicate groups and members (particularly of the 20th century)
Criminal societies and similar organizations.

Open tasks

To-do list

Template:Crime opentask

On-going tasks:

Improve references in articles.
Actively remove tangential "mentions" of article subjects from articles. The only valid mentions that might remain are specific and historically accurate depictions of subjects in film, music, etc.

Listing of pertinent articles and other entries that are being discussed for deletion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_July_6#Category:Celebrities_sentenced_to_jail

Murder of Dr. Melissa Ketunuti http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Murder_of_Dr._Melissa_Ketunuti

Articles that need expansion/improvement

Murders by Year

At present the category for Mass murders by year go back to Category:Mass murder in 1981, but for Murders by year only to 1999, e.g. Category:Murder in 1999, and also for 1993 and 1989. Hence I propose to finish the 1990s decade, and later the 1980s back to 1980. And to separate the American ones which only go back at present to Category:2005 murders in the United States.

Plus a need to add all murders to Category:Murder in 2002 and Category:Murder in 2003 (or the American subcategory) as they only have one in each year at present; and to check that individual Mass Murders are also included in the Murders in US by year category where appropriate. NB: for Category:Mass murderers the requirement is four at once or over a short period of time (though some mass murders have only three?). Hugo999 (talk) 00:07, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The following crime-related articles are Good articles and contain significant contributions from project members; with some additional work they can be improved to Featured Article status.

A-Class Reviews

Shortcuts

An A-Class review is a project-intern quality review similar to that of a featured article review or good article review; however it is conducted independently within the remit of a specific project among the project members themselves. It aims to be a rigorous quality assurance that nevertheless is a simple and self-contained process.
