Assistance with new article
Hi and thanks for everyone's contributions! :-) A group of us are endeavoring to create a new Gangster film article to replace the overly-narrow Mob film.  If anyone is so inclined, please feel free lend a hand, either with content or feedback.  Thanks again Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 00:51, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template Transclude lead excerpt.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  11:00, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Category name's spelling mistake
Hi. I found a spelling mistake in a category name. I explained it here. Feel free - obviously - to check if I'm saying the truth. Thank you. 95.253.203.9 (talk) 09:42, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for coming to the talkpage. I don't know Italian so I'll ping, one of our Italian-to-English translators, to help us. Jmabel, are you able to confirm the message above? Many thanks, MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:01, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 95.253.203.9 is certainly correct about formal Italian; I'm not sure he's right about the (presumably more relevant) Sicilian & Neopolitan dialects. Certainly Mario Puzo in his Godfather novels does not use the i here, but I am certainly in no place to say whether that is an error on his part or a matter of dialect. I'm afraid you need to follow this up with a native speaker, preferably one from the relevant region. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 16:25, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The article Capo dei capi spells it as capi di tutti i capi. I am not sure about renaming the category though. Maybe we can/should move it to Capo dei capi as common name, and that way, we wouldnt have doubt for the mistake either. — usernamekiran (talk)  19:35, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support: I like the idea of moving the category's name to something we know is spelled correctly. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 20:47, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, we should have some consistency either as the common name using "dei" (if that is what is established as common), or the correct way by the rules of the language with "i"; the article name and the category name should be the same. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 21:01, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for the interest shown to my alert. Correct italian is "capo di tutti i capi", and I don't think that your spelling can be classified as a dialect one, because every single word is in italian; if it was a dialect sintax, it would have also dialect words. But I don't know sicilian dialect nor neapolitan one, nor these novels you speak about. By the way, if I remember correctly I'm the one who recently fixed the sentence "capo di tutti i capi" which Usernamekiran talks about, so that's not a proof. Theorically it could be just as wrong as my alert (but they're not). Changing the name of the category in "capi dei capi" is a good solution, too. 95.253.203.9 (talk) 06:55, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Excuse me, but a month has passed and the category still has the spelling mistake. 95.253.203.9 (talk) 10:44, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for coming here again. I've fixed the issue, I think. Please check and let me know. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 16:29, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Now the spelling is correct. Nice work! And I'm happy to have been useful. I would like to know why the misspelled category still exists, even if it's a redirect. What is its meaning? I know this is not related to the project, so maybe you can answer on my talk page. 95.253.203.9 (talk) 12:27, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help! I'm glad we sorted this thing out.
 * We could potentially delete the redirect, but I'm not an administrator so I cannot do it. Leaving redirects can be useful when readers search under alternative names, see Redirect. I personally made sure to fix the categories of the articles linked in this section so they don't appear as redirects. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 13:10, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

The Troubles
This article - along with the articles about the terrorist groups which were belligerents in it, the attacks they committed & the then-active members of those groups - easily fit this project's criteria due to them being strongly terrorist-related.

Simplify categories?
Can someone study the structure of organized crime categories and simplify them?

First, the "By nation" section of the article on Organized crime contains links to articles on organized crime in 27 different nations, if I've counted correctly. All but two are actual article. Only the entries for Canada and the United States are categories. Shouldn't they be complete overview articles, as the others are?

Second, Category:Organized crime in the United States seems to have too many levels in a hierarchy of categories.

In particular, the category Category:Organized crime in the United States by ethnicity includes Category:Organized crime groups in the United States by ethnicity. I don't understand how a "category:organized crime groups" category is sufficiently different from a "category:organized crime" without the word "groups" to justify that separate level of categorization. Shouldn't pairs like that be combined? If no, shouldn't there be something to remind naive readers of the difference. I suppose there could be a difference, but sometimes, differences like that seem so subtle that attempts to make such distinctions end up adding more confusion than clarity, I think. I could be mistaken, but that was my reaction in tracing what seemed to me to be a path that would have been easier for people to use if it had been simpler.

Third, I was trying to add The Purple Gang to this list. There's a Category:Jewish-American gangs. Isn't that redundant with Category:Jewish-American organized crime groups? Shouldn't those two be combined?

Thanks for your contributions to the Prime objective. DavidMCEddy (talk) 10:41, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Discussion on Black Market: is it the same thing as illicit trade?
There is an ongoing discussion on the talk page on Black market on whether it is the same topic as illicit trade. An editor, who is of the opinion that it is a duplicate topic, has converted the article that I created on illicit trade into a redirect to black market. The latest version of the illicit trade article can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Illicit_trade&oldid=974366109 One way or another, I think that the relationship between these two topics needs to be clarified, and your contribution to the discussion would be much appreciated. For the sake of transparency, I will mention that I cite one source that I authored in the article and that I work for a technology company in anti-counterfeiting, though I do not think that I have a COI related to this article.

Crime types and other topics
Totally new to Wikipedia editing, so apologies in advance for anything stupid, done wrong, etc.

I'm interested to see here that the focus under the Org. Crime heading is all crime groups rather than crime types. Why not links to human trafficking, arms trafficking, etc?

Also, interested to see no links on OC governance - e.g. UN Transnational Organized Crime Convention, for example, which has its 10th anniversary this year.

Unless I've misunderstood the purpose of a Wikiproject, which is more than possible and if so very sorry, I feel like the scope could really be expanded here.

TOC24 (talk) 16:37, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Defining "organised crime", Part II: Terrorism
See above section. User:Usernamekiran has been running a bot recently. At WikiProject Organized crime/Bot tagging categories, they've included various subcategories of terrorism as appropriate to add to this project (although apparently are unsure whether that's a wise idea themselves? Would appreciate your input on this. ;-) ).

In my opinion, this is a bleeding of project scope. Terrorism and organized crime aren't the same thing. While terrorism is, strictly, criminal, it is violence done for a political motive (or other ideology, e.g. religious, nationalistic, etc.). Organized crime almost always refers to organizations that exist to make money, albeit through illicit and illegal means. When that line gets blurred, and a banned organization genuinely acts as a "local protection" organization, they're usually referred to as paramilitaries or militias or the like.

Since there's not a ton of activity on this project, I can see a potential to perhaps merge this project with WikiProject Terrorism, and that would be fine, of course. But as is, these categories aren't appropriate to be included, IMO. "Terrorism" should be removed as a topic from this Wikiproject - in the rare cases where there is overlap (e.g. drug-runners who also work with the Taliban or the like), then sure, but there should be a clear "normal" organized crime connection, not just a terrorist one. SnowFire (talk) 19:43, 16 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Please please don't merge them. It does a disservice to the amazingly rich topic of OC research itself.  Also agree that the overlap between crime and terrorism is limited in the group sense.  I'll go find some of my friends and fellow researchers who would be happy to contribute to strengthening the project, and are super passionate about it.  TOC24 (talk) 16:53, 1 October 2020 (UTC)


 * The projects shouldn't be merged, because a lot of OC isn't terrorist & there are terrorists such as lone wolves who aren't organised. Terrorist groups are mentioned in the second sentence of organized crime, so it doesn't make sense to exclude them from this project's scope - especially as they've long been within its scope. Overlap of terrorism & other forms of organised crime is far from rare - many terrorist groups are heavily involved in armed robberies &/or the illegal drug trade as a means of funding their organisations. It's also common for terrorist groups to buy their weapons illegally from organised, non-political gangs. Jim Michael (talk) 01:34, 6 October 2020 (UTC)


 * TOC24: Merging was one proposal, but I suppose I should have updated this since - Usernamekiran removed terrorism from the wikiproject scope in this edit. I'd be fine with two separate projects, I'd be fine with merging, I didn't think it made sense for both WP:OC and WP:Terrorism to claim to be covering terrorism simultaneously (barring cases of organized crime working for terrorist organizations, or organized crime members who become terrorists, etc.).
 * Jim Michael: So sure, where there's an overlap, stick it in both projects. When there isn't an overlap, then stick it in the relevant one.  The problem with the old setup was that it claimed that they're  actually the same thing, which is not really correct IMO.  SnowFire (talk) 04:35, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

I completely re-wrote the article since the original was read like promotional material and opened up a peer review. He talks about being a mafia associate on his youtube channel and book and if there is a third party source that discusses that, it should be included.

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a class parameter to WikiProject banner shell, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to WikiProject banner shell, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass WPBannerMeta a new custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Soliciting feedback on my first draft for an article on organized crime figures
Draft in question: Draft:Campbell brothers (criminal duo)

I need help figuring out draft for an article on an organized crime figures (I have never written an organized crime figure's biography, so I am requesting advice from y'all)

I am hoping for someone to give me feedback on the neutrality of this draft and whether it has any suitability to be developed for the article space.

I have created this draft on a criminal duo. I have found it to be well-established that the two individuals were indeed a criminal duo. The criminality included in this draft is notable and well-sourced. The criminal incidents covered were regular front-page news articles in their days (each matter receiving frequent front-page stories about the development of investigations, trials, appeals, etc.).

The criminal due is noteworthy.

However, I want to practice caution and seek feedback. This is the first article that I have created on an organized crime figure, so I am very unsure how to address the matter of objectivity/neutrality. If you are going to be objective about someone who was an organized crime figure, generally the end result would be unflattering to them by virtue of their heavy involvement in criminal enterprise, right?

I'm wanting to take extra caution because: 1) My unfamiliarity with writing articles on organized crime figures 2) The fact that one of the two Campbell brothers (Alvin Campbell) is the birth father of Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell. I would hate to be misguided in what I created and have it be mis-perceived as me attempting to create an article to detract Ms. Campbell (who, I will note, is mentioned very little in this draft).
