The Mann Act

The Wikipedia article about the Mann Act has Charles Manson listed as "convicted" under this law. Charles Manson's biography on Wikipedia says he was aquitted of this charge. Both authors of these articles cite the same source. To the reader the distinction between the two words is critical to gaining proper insight.

"Missing persons" category

When a missing persons case is resolved, does that make categories such as Category:Missing person cases in the United States no longer applicable? My take is the case is a missing persons case, even after resolution and the person is no longer missing. A robbery remains a robbery even after the perpetrator is caught and restitution made, by comparison.

I noticed a couple of removals today of this cat ([1], [2]), and while I don't think the removal is appropriate, I'm unsure and unable to find if there's a consensus in the crime community on this; hence the question. TJRC (talk)

Assistance on Murder of Zachary Turner

I would like to receive some assistance from members of WikiProject Crime in composing Murder of Zachary Turner. I would like to finish the article amid my busy schedule, so anyone who can help me complete some sections of this article -- including some info on Canadian custody and bail laws -- would be most appreciated. --Scoutstr295

Mary Kay Letourneau

An RfC has been initiated here to receive outside input on the question:

Should the lead include a summary of the reliably sourced content in the article that is not related to her crime(s)?

Your participation there would be appreciated. Best, -- — Keithbob • Talk • 17:33, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Need help with a DRN

Hi all, this is regarding a dispute over the usage of the words violent crime regarding the conviction of Oscar López Rivera. While it has been shown that Oscar López Rivera has been convicted of bank robbery, the dispute is about whether it can be added that he is convicted of violent crimes. As Wikiproject Criminal Biography was not added to the talk page of the article, I am doing so, and opening this section to invite comments from editors of this project. Please be brief and concise in your comments and refrain from personal attacks -Wikishagnik (talk) 03:48, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assessments

I've been contributing to crime-related articles for the past five years and have noticed that most articles in this WikiProject go unassessed. Is there any way I could help? Thanks, ----GouramiWatcher^(?) 19:23, 15 April 2014 (UTC) [reply]
