thread_title:  Police Medal of Honor,  

message: The tone of much of the article doesn't read anything like a Wikipedia article ought to read. It seems, if I may be blunt, like it was taken straight out of a book or movie script. The tone, combined with the fact that much of it was contributed by IP 207.67.58.* and not username, leads me to believe the copy may be plagiarized from another source. Can someone run down a copy of the book and the film screenplay and examine them for plagiarism? Robert 17:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Serpico .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 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.BetacommandBot 04:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Serpico .jpg

message: This is not an area I'm versed in, but the lack of information about relatively notable indictments as a result of the commission really stood out for me.  There should be a number, as police officials are usually political appointments, sometimes elected.  Needless to say, indictment by the Knapp Commission itself would make them notable.  This is being added to both the Knapp Commission and Frank Serpico articles.  IMHO (talk) 18:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable indictments should be added

message: The article should mention the fact that Serpico held Patrick Murphy (police commissioner) responsible for his ordeal. He confronted Murphy some years ago and said "I've been carrying a bullet around in my head for 35 years and I hold you resposible." Logicman1966 (talk) 07:02, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

;What should I do?
	Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

message: There is no link to the Knapp Commission report here.  Is there anyone out there that can add that?  I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
~ The Knapp Commission resulted from the efforts of Frank Serpico and D. Durk.~

thread_title:  website out 

message: Can someone add the preferred pronunciation of "Serpico" to the article? I remember as a child I saw a promo for a broadcast of the movie on ABC and the voiceover pronounced it with the emphasis on the first syllable. However, I knew a woman in the nineties with the same last name and she said her family preferred to place the emphasis on the second syllable, with the "i" pronounced like a long "e". --anon. 71.183.133.71 (talk) 21:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation of last name 

message: The article claimed the book was from 2005, which made the article internally inconsistent. The film was based on the book, so the book couldn't have been 2005 but was in fact 1973 and the wrong edition was used as a ref. There's incorrect book review chronologies out there - as overturned in the obituary source. There were no sources in the author's article. Fixed. Widefox; talk 01:05, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
