Welcome to WikiProject British crime.

Purpose
To organise and generally improve all pages relating to British crime. This would bring up to date a lot of media attention articles and some high-profile British crimes without pages.

Additionally, this would help to categorize the British crimes more effectively.

 * User WikiProject British crime, a userbox which can be added to member user pages as a shortcut to this project page.
 * WP British crime (or Uk-crime), a project banner which can be added to the top of the talk pages of related articles.
 * WP British Crime Invitation, a formal invitation to members who contributed and/or are interested in British crime related subjects.

Article assessment

 * The WP British crime (or Uk-crime) template has a class= parameter that provides an article assessment rating:

The following values may be used for the parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:


 * FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class British crime-related articles)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class British crime-related articles)
 * GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class British crime-related articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class British crime-related articles)
 * C (adds articles to Category:C-Class British crime-related articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class British crime-related articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class British crime-related articles)
 * FL (adds articles to Category:FL-Class British crime-related articles)
 * List (adds articles to Category:List-Class British crime-related articles)
 * NA (for pages where assessment is unnecessary, such as templates; adds items to Category:Non-article British crime-related pages)

If a rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in Category:Unassessed British crime-related articles. The class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. A list of Unassessed and In dispute articles can be discussed at WikiProject British crime/Assessment.
