Talk:FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives/Archive 1

message: Would it not be better to make a link to the current Most Wanted list, rather then keep having to update it in Wikipedia? DJ Clayworth 14:11, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: The FBI doesn't number them and neither should Wikipedia. Perhaps the page should explain why they're not ranked -- I always heard it was to keep the baddies from vying for the top slot. I still think it's funny that the nation's chief law enforcement officer would say "I don't know where he is...I just don't spend that much time on him" about anyone on this list.

replies: text: I have sorted the list and ordered by when added to the FBI list.  Also, I now understand why you formatted the new pages in the particular way.  I'm not entirely sure I like the format of this page, and think some of the details can be moved into articles about the fugitives themselves.  And the FBI links can go into the fugitive articles, and/or referenced properly at the end of the page. And, more discussion on the history of the list is appropriate here. -Aude (talk | contribs) 18:47, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Can you explain why you prefer the table format over this  simple paragraph list format here?  This current format is attractive, and simple and easy on the eye.  Tables on the other hand tend to look overly academic, and hence may lose interest.  Also, tables require too much winnowing down of full statmements into mere bullet points, which turns each mini-summary (interesting to read) into a bullet point list of short phrases (boring to read and monotonous).  I understand that Wikipedia has a format standard, but is it really necessary to put the format in line with that, at the sacrifice of readability?  Maybe the table looks better on your screen, but I have an older pc system, and it tends to display very columnar in the table format, with lots of dead white space on my view of the table.  But it seems the format could go either way, so I am working on other pages right now, so I don't conflict with your work.  I have lots more data to add.  I agree with you that "hundreds" of entries is too much on a page.  Not a problem, except for the 1950's and 1960's, when the first several hundred fugitives were named.  So I plan to further parse those decades down into a fugitives by year page, for the 20 years, and keep those decade pages to just a summary and jumping off point for each of the years.  That would make each 1950's - 1960's page contain about 15 fugitives, which is very much in line with this home page.  Each group of fugitives taken as a group (by decade or by year) is of interest in itself, because it reflects the changing times, and how the FBI deals with fugitives (2000's is very sparse, because of re-focus of FBI on terrorism, software upgrades, etc., 1990's is largely terrorists because of lack of Most Wanted Terrrorists list back then, 1980's is a bit sparse, maybe because of better law enforcement techniques resulting in quick captures, 1970's list is large, lots of suspects added each year, and 1960's and 1950's lists are huge with lots and lots of suspects, back in the pre-computer days when it was all tracked on paper.  On this home page, there is a lot of parsable summary data of interest that is available to be added, for interesting reading as well.Steven Russell 20:30, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Perhaps, but it's a result of actions by the decision makers at the FBI.  The purpose here (mine at least) is to record history, and the FBI Ten list is an historical (and ongoing) fact of public interest.  The bin Laden page is of course in an ongoing battle, but his FBI listing as a Top Ten member is objectively historical, and can be simply featured here with that intent.  The Top Ten list is really a legacy of the post World War II pre-1950's crime wave (perhaps a legacy of Prohibition, immigration, post-war sentiments, rise of crime families, etc.)  Maybe the 1950's page can deal with more of that context of the origins of the list.-Steven Russell 20:58, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Just to classify the difference between the number on list and the actual placing number, the number on list is the number of fugitives added to the list, of course, plus one for the actual criminal.
The placing number is the ranking of the criminal.

message: I removed this data and placed it in a text file. If anyone thinks it should be in Wikipedia, I created links under See Also for where they would go. Anyway... that's about it for the notice.  Shane (talk/contrib) 05:21, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just as historic comment, I had originally added that section, because some editors were adding them, as top Ten Fugitives, in error. I didn't want to just delete. Usually the error was the result of media mis-information, which is often persistent. Major media publication, not accuracy, is the Wikipedia standard for inclusion. The FBI has Most Wanted fugitives, who are not top Tenners, and the media gets this wrong, often. So I also thought the group was interesting, while also providing an answer to the inevitable question, "Well, what about so and so, who I read or heard was one?" Also, the "Infamous, but not top Ten" group list was handy, for the ones like Patty Hearst, who was simply too notoriously well-known to be put on the list, a criteria which seems to have not been applied consistently (bin Laden, e.g.) And also, it was useful to highlight assassins and serial killers, some are, some are not top Tenners (Sirhan Sirhan, vs. James Earl Ray, and Charles Manson, vs. Ted Bundy). So I still think the two groups are useful, and their absence will lead to questions, and they don't really take up that much space, with tiny thumbnails. Plus, I thought they were a fun little tidbit to lighten up the article a bit, as fugitive trivia. Steven Russell 06:21, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: As of today (6/19/08) this page looks considerably out of date, in comparison to the list at http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/fugitives.htm.  The order of the list on that source is:
*Orozco
*BinLaden
*Brown
*Bulger
*Preciado
*Fisher
*Gerena
*Godwin
*Schillaci
*Flores
However, perhaps there is a more official list that I am not aware of? The fact that Schillaci is still on that list, 2 weeks after his arrest, makes me wonder if there is another source for a more up-to-date listing. (Kmote (talk) 14:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Usama vs. Osama 

message: I am struck by the very wide range of severity of crimes on the list; and based
on the descriptions of selection criteria and individuals currently on the
list, I find it hard to see why some entries are justified (in the explicit
context of most wanted). Why e.g. would Emigdio Preciado, Jr. be more
wanted than the hundreds of other people who have commited similar or more
severe crimes? The article would bring more insight if this issue was
addressed.
Depending on the exact reasons for the issue, the cure will be different.
It could be that the descriptions are too incomplete, say not mentioning the
fact that a particular wantee is suspected to be a leading drug tycoon, serial
killer, or has a dire previous criminal record; that the selection is governed
by media attention; that ...
(Obviously, I understand that the selection is ultimately at the discretion
of the FBI, not the WP editors.)

thread_title:  Addition to the list 2014-03-26 

message: There are thousands upon thousands of murders (and other crimes) taking place every year in the USA.  What makes the crimes of these individuals so "different"?  Does the FBI have any sort of criteria to determine who to put on the list?  And why?  This article should touch upon that topic.  With all of the criminals out there, how and why did the FBI narrow it down to these ten?  I don't know about this topic.  If someone does, that information should be added in.  Thanks.    Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:27, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scope of article 

message: With the capture of Eric Matthew Frein, this article becomes outdated and needs to be updated.  (1) I assume that he is now "off" of the list.  Is that correct?  (2)  The article currently states: "Eric Matthew Frein is the person most recently listed still at large."  That needs revision.    Thanks.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:23, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Joseph A. Spadaro, not exactly. As of now, he is still on the list, just marked as "captured". I'm not 100% sure, but I believe he is replaced eventually when there is someone else they want to add to the top 10.--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:37, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks.  Yes, indeed, I was not sure how they (the FBI) handle all of this.  I wasn't sure if he has to be "officially" taken off the list.  I can't imagine that he is kept on the list and simply marked as "captured".  It is a list of most wanted fugitives.  Once captured, they are neither wanted, nor are they fugitives.  (I would think.)  But, who knows how the FBI officially handles the minutiae?  Nonetheless, my second concern is still valid.  The article currently states: "Eric Matthew Frein is the person most recently listed still at large."  That needs revision.  Thanks.  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:03, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Since 1950, the FBI says 511 fugitives have been on the Top 10 list and 479 of those people have been captured. Once someone is added to the Top 10 list, the probability of them being captured is 94 percent.
