Talk:Security clearance

message: SCI is an access, not a clearance level. Top Secret is the clearance level and access to SCI is granted to those who require access to the information. This is explained in Classified information in the United States. I propose changing the article to reflect this key detail.
I agree. (31 March 2009)
There are several important inaccuracies in this article and some rather big omissions. Gingermint (talk) 06:34, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clearance versus Access 

message: User:Brownman40 removed Karl Rove's name from the list of "Individuals who have had security clearances revoked or challenged" (and also deleted "or challenged" from the heading), saying "Some people called Al Gore's security clearance into question. Let's not turn this into a POV war."
I just did a Google News search on "security clearance" and Karl Rove is mentioned in 7 of the top 10 hits. I've been following US politics for quite some time and I don't recall anyone questioning Al Gore's clearance or any claim that he leaked classified information. A Google search on "Al Gore security clearance" turned up no such story either. Ignoring the Karl Rove clearance controversy in the article about security clearance seems POV to me. --agr 10:24, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

message: We now have headings specifying the US and UK clearances. The english speaking world has more (.au comes to mind), but I don't think the article is intentionally us-focused. I am therefore removing the tag from the article. kthx. 208.29.145.75 23:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: What's weird about them? I should be able to explain if you tell me what you find odd.

thread_title:  UK clearance names 

message: I started cleaning up the references. I noticed some of the websites are not working well which does not help with the credibility. The templates are pretty straightforward and I have tried to make them easy to read within the article. All constructive criticism welcome. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 14:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: "Clearances at the RS/ERS/C/S level are valid for 10 years while TS is valid for 5 years. Because security clearances are granted by individual departments instead of one government agency, clearances are revoked at the end of appointment or when an individual transfers out of the department."
Not entirely true. The following is true for TS, and probably the others as well.
When an individual leaves the department, the clearance is deactivated, not revoked. If the individual returns within 12 months, they just reactivate the clearance; there's no reapplication or screening process. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.54.188 (talk) 03:19, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canadian Clearances 

message: Every time I look at this article I don't notice that the first section only applies to Canada. There needs to be some sort of introduction before going into country specific information. 71.235.188.128 (talk) 22:19, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transition/Introduction to start article 

message: Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) is the system used by the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to do background checks on people who are applying for federal government jobs (or contractors working for the federal government).
I don't see any reference to e-QIP anywhere on Wikipedia.

thread_title:  Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) 

message: Under the United States section, after the "appearance of foreign allegiance" section, there is a "taxation" section that describes taxes in multiple countries that people with multiple citizenships may encounter. This seems to be a tangent off of discussion of cases where appearance of foreign allegiance may lead to a denial of a clearance. Is this section relevant? Is it there because a person's tax records may be examined as part of a determination of citizenship, possibly?

thread_title:  relevance of taxation subsection 

message: The CRS report cited only addresses Presidential access to intelligence and military information. It does not address information classified by statute or treaty. This article needs input from someone familiar with the Atomic Energy Act.--VAcharon (talk) 23:05, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  United States 

message: The "Canada" and the "United States" sections are already large enough to stand on their own as separate articles.  As things stand now, they give WP:UNDUE weight to these countries in an article that should have a more global orientation.  The British have already had the good sense to decamp to a separate article, leaving just a brief summary paragraph and a pointer in this article.  Also overlooked in this article is any coverage of security clearances as they apply to private organizations.
I think this article should focus on common aspects  of the topic, plus overall comparisons between different nations and organizations.  Once the detailed coverage of a specific organization reaches a sufficient size, it should be split off as a separate article, leaving behind a brief summary and a pointer.
