message: I think this has been vandalised.  It seems to claim that the SPG/TSG assault suspects "whether guilty or not".  Someone check it out. 213.230.130.56 (talk) 20:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  vandalised? 

message: It's a perfectly well referenced opinion, and a published one too, and deserves inclusion. The article at the moment contains no criticism at all. We can't leave out information we think 'is silly', because that in it's self is NPOV ;) ninety:one 22:56, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Well the book exists, according to Amazon.co.uk and Google Books searches. I've added the ISBN and changed to a proper citation template in the article. The issues that remain are: (1) is the claimed content actually in the book? And (2) is the book a reliable source? I can't comment on (1) because I haven't seen the book, though we must assume good faith on the part of the editor(s) who added it. As for (2), well, the customer reviews on Amazon suggest that it is at least written in a sensationalist style - I'll probably edit the article further to specifically attribute the statement.  —SMALLJIM  11:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Met-police-logo.svg

message: I would add some material from this article, but it has been locked. Could someone with privileges please do so.
A judge said last month that six TSG officers had carried out a "serious, gratuitous and prolonged" attack on a terrorism suspect, Babar Ahmed, six years ago. The team of six officers involved in the attack on Ahmed, who was arrested at his home by the TSG unit, had already been at the centre of as many as 60 complaints about unwarranted assaults on black or Asian men, the Guardian has revealed.

replies: text: Definitely. Thanks for pointing those out. I've added them to the article and put the G20 into the same section called Criticism. Smartse (talk) 22:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I put in a line about the nature of their work being a reason for complaints being made against the TSG as I though it added balance and maintained a NPOV. This has been removed by an IP user  as "propaganda". Can someone take a look and revert if necessary. Thanks Smartse (talk) 09:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: serious, gratuitous and prolonged" attack

message: I'm aware the criticism section is perhaps portraying only one side of the story. Any positive stories about the TSG would be most welcome. Smartse (talk) 21:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  criticism 

message: Police pay £30,000 for poll tax riot `assault'  PC injured in hammer attack Black officer cleared of cue attack First the murderers walk free. Now the Lawrence police escape justice Sex assault Pc jailed for five years Riot force may sue club Protecting Bush. A member of the TSG, Nina McKay was killed in 1997: . I guess it should be included and the criticism section could be converted to "incidents" or "notable events" or something. Talking about the problems they've faced should make the article more neutral IMO. Smartse (talk) 14:04, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The police are not required to wear epaulettes by anyone - they may be supposed to but they don't have to. See Chapter 6 of this report out yesterday. Smartse (talk) 15:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Epaulettes

message: I've removed the Tony Jefferson link as its link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Jefferson) refers to an American football player, who, by the way, was born 2 year after the study referenced in this article was published(!)
So please, do not revise this change until an article on the correct Tony Jefferson has been created.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mojowiha (talk • contribs) 09:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Good to have some further info about tsg deployment outside London, e.g. in things like 1990s road protests, etc. There is a brief mention of the Battle of the Beanfield in the Academic section, but my recollection was that tsg were quite commonly sent out from London to things like this. Would be great to have some more definitive info on this. 82.71.0.229 (talk) 18:16, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
