List of countries by murder rate

 * 1) *(a) Useful: I think it's useful for people doing research since it gives and overview not fond elsewhere on the web, and everything is referenced to reliable sources. I also found it interesting.
 * 2) *(b) Comprehensive: info only for countries I found references for in multi country lists or historical info lists, the African countries may not gather the info. There may also be and English language source bias. Additional sources to make it more comprehensive (if only historically) welcome.
 * 3) *(c) Factually accurate: the different approaches finding the totals is not always equivalent, and I haven't found the mid 1970s info's source's source.
 * 4) *(d) Uncontroversial: While there may be controversy, there hasn't yet - probably because everything's sourced.
 * 5) *(e) Stable: not in any edit wars, quite stable since the big changes.
 * 6) *(f) Well-constructed: easy to navigate: by decade, then ordered by rate with option to order by country name alphabetically or any other column.
 * 7) Standards
 * 8) *(a) Lead section: the lead was a bit short, but better after its peer review. Missing methodology info.
 * 9) *(b) Headings: decades.
 * 10) *(c) Table of contents: small horizontal TOC.
 * 11) Images: has a map with the same colors as used in the tables.-- Jeandré, 2007-01-08t22:34:02z, -- Jeandré, 2007-01-09t10:47z, -- Jeandré, 2007-01-21t06:30z


 * Support, self-nomination. Possible issues italicized.-- Jeandré, 2007-01-09t10:47z
 * Support replaced space with comma; good work Hmains 04:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support, nice list. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose. I would like to see a little more discussion of the differing methodologies used to gather the data. This is rather important, I think. And is there simply no data for that many African counties? I know you've looked, but I can't help but ask all the same! I'll change to "support" if differing methodologies are discussed a bit more, either in the lead or notes (as distinct from the references). Once these issues have been addressed, I'd love to support such an excellent list, impressive as it is on so many levels. -- Zantastik  talk  20:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've put it on the to do list. -- Jeandré, 2007-01-21t06:30z
 * I'm unconvinced about the "comprehensiveness" of this list, given that I was able to find the number of murders in 1998 and 1999 for Trinidad and Tobago in a couple seconds. I'm also not sure about the meaning of the final column, "Last" in the 2000s section.  Guettarda 04:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've clarified that "info only for countries I found references for in multi country lists or historical info lists", e.g. UN or continent reports, and UK and USA historical info. I haven't searched for individual countries but will start that for the missing ones on the map, begining with African countries.
 * The last column is the last known reported figure, used for the map.
 * I have a lot of required reading for classes this week, and may only get around to the to do list next weekend. -- Jeandré, 2007-01-21t06:30z
 * Note I didn't promote/fail this along with the other lists I did yesterday. Although there is a lack of consensus and insufficient support votes (hence no promotion), I felt it best to wait until Jeandré had sufficient time to deal with the issues raised. If I found that come this Monday (29th) things hadn't progressed, then I'd fail it. Tom pw (talk) 19:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't get around to going thru the to do list. If someone else doesn't clean it up, I'll nominate again later when it's done. -- Jeandré, 2007-01-28t20:45z
 * Object. Until the to do list is cleared. CG 08:35, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
