 * I think I fixed this problem, maybe take a look and let me know what you think?

Citation Required
The forensic use of fingerprints was discovered and developed in Calcutta, India.

Internet Article

Section incomplete
The section "Examples of Materials" is clearly incomplete (in fact even the heading was incomplete, but I've completed it). What materials are used today besides aluminium powder? Dayvey (talk) 07:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

I added the section for further applications as I believe this will be useful to help further demonstrate the importance and uses of fingerprint powder. Meganmwolf (talk) 00:18, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Proposed Bibliography
Daluz, Hillary Moses. 2019. Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis. This book is an edited textbook that should be a reliable secondary source. It covers the six different types of fingerprint powders that exist today. The information comes from a whole chapter within the textbook and should provide significant coverage needed to help establish notability.

Bandey, Helen L.; Bleay, Stephan M.; Gibson, Andrew P. 2013. Advances in Fingerprint Technology - Chapter 8: Powders for Fingerprint Development. This source is an edited textbook that should be a reliable secondary source. It covers the history and application of powders and dusting techniques as well as the different types of powders available including what each is best used for. This article will also help establish notability.

Kumar, Parveen; Gupta, Ritika; Singh, Rajinder; Jasuja, Om Prakash. 2015. Effects of latent fingerprint development reagents on subsequent forensic DNA typing: A review. This review article comes from a peer-reviewed scientific journal and should be a reliable secondary source. It covers the effects that fingerprint powder has on DNA analysis. This article is somewhat related to the topic and could act as a section of the article; however, it does not really work to establish notability.

Sodhi, G.S.; Kaur, J. 2001. Powder Method for Detecting Latent Fingerprints: A review. This source is a review article from a peer-reviewed scientific journal that should be a reliable secondary source. It covers the mechanism by which the powder adheres to the fingerprints. It also details the components in the different fingerprint powders and the health risks that come with each. This article is specifically on fingerprint powder and, therefore, will help establish notability.

Lennard, Chris. 2007. Fingerprint detection: current capabilities. This source is a review article from a peer-reviewed scientific journal that should, therefore, be a reliable secondary source. It has a paragraph on fingerprint powders that outlines how powdering works and on what surfaces it is applicable. As well as some limitations to the powdering technique. Since there are more than a few sentences on the topic, it can still be used to help with notability.

Welcome to any feedback or advice!

 * I have provided references for the information that was previously present on the page as well as added new information to try and expand the page. I removed the "examples of material" section as it seemed to fit in with the "composition" section. I also think that the page flows better with the applications after composition so that readers know what magnetic powders are before reading about the applicator used to apply them. Thank you!
