Talk:Making false statements

Article only deals with US
Following up on User:SMcCandlish's topic on Wikiproject:Law, this article currently only covers a US perspective and should be expanded to cover other jurisdictions. I have added a template to indicate this. -Furicorn (talk) 20:07, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * A better alternative would be to make this article specific to the cited statute.  SPECIFICO talk 13:27, 12 June 2020 (UTC)


 * @ Furicorn: The article is about a U.S. federal statute, so of course it only covers a U.S. perspective. It is not intended to cover other jurisdictions.  (@ Specfico: This article IS specific to the cited statute.)
 * Perhaps there is some confusion about what "False Statements" means. It's not a general, generic term -- it's a term of art that refers specifically to the U.S. statute in question.  (Section 1001 of Title 18, United States Code.)  Captain Quirk (talk) 14:46, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Then the article title needs to be refined further. At present the article uses a common language approach and so the article too must be globalized.
 * If we keep it restricted, retitle as "Making false statements (US Code)" so the "Making false statements" article can be used for a global context. MJHTrailsolid (talk) 03:52, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm unaware of any non-U.S. jurisdiction that has an offense under this specific name (although undoubtedly there are various non-U.S. laws that address similar conduct). Thus, a "globalize" tag is misleading at worst, and ugly and unnecessary at best. Neutralitytalk 18:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
