Talk:Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

message: There is a very similar list at List of Directors of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation by time in office that would be an excellent addition to this rather small article. In addition it would help stem a proliferation of Lists organized by X.... style lists and be easier for the reader (as this is the logical starting point for this information).

thread_title:  Merge [[List of Directors of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation by time in office]] 

message: Per FBI: position of the director the FBI describes the two positions (chief & director), but their listing includes all directors, acting or not. Shouldn't the count start with one, the one at the beginning?  – S. Rich (talk) 17:12, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Count of directors? 

message: This article (or the Table) should reflect somehow that two Directors were fired: Sessions by Clinton in 1993; and Comey by Trump in 2017.     Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:47, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dismissals 

message: The article says: "Since the 1920s, the FBI has been supervised by the Department of Justice and the FBI Director has answered to the Attorney General." That statement is not supported by a citation, which probably seemed insignificant until yesterday, when President Trump disputed that version of the chain of command. I'm travelling on business (and I lack the expertise to properly address the issue anyway), but I'm wondering if anyone here would be able to provide a citation to support that passage -- and if not, I'm wondering if the article should be revised to point out that there's an opposing view.

thread_title:  Chain of command 

message: It is suggested in WP:Age_calculation_templates#When_to_use_templates_vs._fixed_text that age templates not be used for fixed dates, such as all but the last in the table.  It seems that it makes pages load slower unnecessarily.  Should these be changed?  Gah4 (talk) 08:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

message: John Edgar Hoover was Director until 1972 and Richard Nixon was the President among 1969 and 1972. Therefore J. Edgar Hoover was Director of the FBI during some years of the Nixon's presidency. But un the list of Directors is not it. Thanks Sirslayercort (talk) 20:25, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears there some problem with formatting this. I tried to rectify the table but all my attempts resulted in Hoover's immediate successor being pushed not further down but to the right. I'll try again but this is probably someone with more formatting knowledge should have a look into. Str1977 (talk) 20:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  red, blue & gray boxes on the list of directors  

message: It says that J. Edgar Hoover became Director of BOI in 1924 and served under Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. However, Herbert Hoover did not become POTUS until 1929. Calvin Coolidge was POTUS in 1924. I'm not all that good at modifying tables. If need be I will, but don't want to mess things up. Could someone add President Coolidge to the table? 47.137.184.131 (talk) 00:40, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Hello, My name is Dorothy This morning I received an email from someone stating that they are the director of The FBI(Sir.Christphter Wray).The email stated that the government has determined that I'm entitled to be compensated for a scam that my name appears on the list of victims.And that I'm entitled to a huge amount of ($USD).I have no intention of providing or confirmation of any of my personal information.
