England & Wales Police Structure
I would like to know more about the policing structure in E&W but can't find any helpful sources. Specifically, I would like to know more about the trade-off between management and specialisms within, say, the Met. If you're a detective, how much is your career limited in terms of doing the most penetrating interviews by ascending the ranks to chief inspector than if you stay as a constable? Or is it the case that you can do a broader range of detective work but the actual volume that you do is reduced and you spend more time managing people to compensate for this? Thanks. asyndeton  talk  12:51, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * WP has an article on Police ranks of the United Kingdom, which might help you, as might TV Tropes' page on British Coppers. Can't be any more help than that I'm afraid. --Nicknack009 (talk) 18:11, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I tell a lie. Just found an interesting site, the Policing Professional Framework, which breaks down the skills and qualities required for the various ranks. Might be of some assistance. --Nicknack009 (talk) 18:19, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Southwest Church, Windsor, Ont.
It seems with a lot of church articles First Baptist Church, Hammond, Indiana, etc you are careful to be honest and fair. However I feel you dropped the ball in not explaining where Mr. Rock got his 35 starting members. If you had done your homework you would have found that as assistant pastor Aaron took them and a secret way and without approval of the Senior Pastor of Campbell Baptist Church, an established church. Besides most church that start with 35 unchurched people usually grow to over 400 any way. So I don't see the need implying it was an unusual accomplishment. 216.59.228.61 (talk) 20:59, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * If you've got valid sourcing, you could add that info to the article. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:49, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * What article? Contact Basemetal   here  22:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not, there is an article First Baptist Church (Hammond, Indiana). That one seems to be a coatrack about various nefarious activities there. I don't see an article for Southwest Church, Windsor, Ontario. I wonder if the OP is in the right place? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It's Southwood Community Church in Windsor Ontario. Should I correct the section header? Contact Basemetal   here  23:48, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Btw this post should be at the talk page to the article not at the RD. Contact Basemetal   here  23:49, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This is the IP OP's only edit in the last 5 years, so it might be best to move the whole discussion (such as it is) to that article's talk page. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:27, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
