message: :Image:Operation Sorbet 1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: The highwayman is typically British whereas the American terms for similar activity were more specific, bank robbers, train robbers, outlaws. "Ugly-American" is a more modern term so I removed it. Julia Rossi 22:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article is currently lacking any citations at all, and some of the individuals named are redlinks (about seven right now), so the citations can't be in those articles. Andjam (talk) 11:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unreferenced claims about living people 

message: Uhhh... what is the purpose of this article? I found it looking for an overview of how crime is managed and dealt with in Australia (more specifically, looking for the common sentence for murder) but instead i found a horrible wiki page that just has a serious identity crisis.
I would be more than willing to fix it up, but the page is horribly daunting and i dont know where to start. What would be removed and what should be kept? 124.149.113.63 (talk) 09:06, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Purpose and current status of this article 

message: I was doing some research and was astounded to find that the lede sentence of this Wikipedia article is factually incorrect - "Australia has a much lower violent crime rate than some other developed nations, such as the United States and the United Kingdom."  The source cited is regarding "homicides" but this article is about crime in general.  I am going to correct once I find the correct source.  Regardless, we probably should not start the lede on this with a comparative to the US or UK.  Feel free to comment.-Justanonymous (talk) 19:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There, I changed it a bit so at least the article doesn't start off with a blantant lie.-Justanonymous (talk) 20:28, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Is there any point in transcribing a whole lot of detailed stats onto this page, only to become out of date within a year if not months? I don't have time to address it now, but I'd like to propose sweeping away all of that 2013-14 clutter (which mostly only shows comparisons between the two years) and write it up as some kind of a summary with links to the Crime Statistics Agency and maybe the ABS.
