message: In this article I encountered the unsourced statement, "Taxation is a form of robbery used by government authorities."  At first I decided to use the Declaration of Independence as a source, but then changed my mind.  What's the best way to fix this statement to neutralize its POV?

message: I propose to make the following changes to this article. I'll leave this post on the discussion board for a few days to see if anyone objects, before actually making the changes. 
First, Robbery is not only an English law subject. It's a common law crime. Therefore, I will remove the template EngCrimLaw. 
I will replace it with the teimplate CrimLaw.
Second, I will reorganize the article to this format: 
* Common law definition
* English Law
* U.S. Law
* Misc.
Finally, I will remove the etymology section and replace it with a cite directly following the word robbery which will reference the same information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by G77 (talk • contribs) 19:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The article seems fine to me. Sure, we could add lists of famous robberies, or get into the citation of specific cases, but it seems accurate to me. Why is it flagged for expert attention? Lawdroid (talk) 17:19, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article stated that an alternative charge for someone whose attempted robbery was foiled is "assault" and stated that this was "under s. 8(2) of the 1968 Act". But that section doesn't actually say that, nor does it define the offence of assault with intent to rob, it only gives the penalty for the latter offence (same as robbery, life imprisonment). Is it a common law offence then? It's listed as such at Common law offence#List of offences under the common law of England. Hairy Dude (talk) 01:31, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This article (Footpad) states the etymology of "footpad", defines it as an archaic synonym of thief, then devolves into redundant blabber about robbery and gangs,  which also have articles.  Thus, this entire article, and any conceivable manifestation of it, is and will be largely a content fork of other articles. --Animalparty! (talk) 08:19, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

message: The two tales in the section "Robbery statistics" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robbery#Robbery_statistics) could use some clarification. Please add column headers to explain what the data in each column represents. And for the second table, please also explain why the countries are ordered as they are, because I don't see any logic to that sort order. HugoK22 (talk) 12:21, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
