# Talk:Peelian principles

The link for reference #6 - "Sir Robert Peel and the new Metropolitan Police" - is broken. Slarrab (talk) 17:36, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Slarrab, the link is working now. It was an issue with the National Archives website which they fixed. Whizz40 (talk) 16:35, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

An I.P. made this edit to Robert's Rules of Order today.  My read is that it's a piece of (fairly amusing, frankly) trolling, but I thought I'd solicit views before reverting.  Does anybody have any views as to whether somebody searching for this page could realistically end up at Robert's Rules of Order? Steve Smith (talk) 23:21, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Agree there is probably no need for the hatnote. Whizz40 (talk) 06:16, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
IP here. (Same editor, but different IP address because my router shifts cyclically). The reason I added the disambiguation is because I remember the "Peelian principles" as an important piece of history from reading an article, and I could only remember it by the name "Robert", from its purported originator, Robert Peel. I was unable to find it until several months later, when I stumbled across the name "Peelian Principles". A link like this would have helped me find it at a more appropriate time. Before I realized the correct name, I simply remembered and referred to it as "Robert's rules of policing". Regards. 116.216.30.55 (talk) 12:58, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

"Sources cite the influence of the British model of policing on policing in the United States."
This cannot (still?) be true. The US police is using the direct opposite of the Peelian principles, namely fear and overwhelming force to control the public. I'll remove the text. Dustie (talk) 10:39, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I certainly have Views about U.S. (and Canadian) policing, but the material you removed was properly cited, and I've restored it.  If there are sources suggesting that the influence of Peelian principles on American policing has waned—which strikes me as very possible—they should be included as well.
